Kathy Griffin's God
Kathy Griffin won an Emmy for her show "My Life On The D-List". In her acceptance speech, she thanked her new god. Catholic League chairman Bill Donohue comes unglued - because, apparently, she thanked the wrong god.
[link 1] [link 2] "A lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus. Can you believe this shit? Hell has frozen over. Suck it, Jesus. This award is my God now."
Blasphemer! Hehehe...
Of course, the the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences immediately caved in to Donohue's shrill demands that her "blasphemy" be censored. What a surprise.
Her acceptance speech is a brilliant, funny comment on the insincere Jebus-thankers that are always at awards shows like this. This is what she does, people. It's her job to say things like that. That's what she won the Emmy for.
Amazing. Where the heck did Donohue get the power to censor television shows? Why do they listen to him? It's got to be the fear of losing advertising revenue.
Congratulations on your Emmy, Kathy!

Had she said....
I wonder what would have happened had she said "suck it Mohammed"? She'd probably be lying in a ditch somewhere...
So the foul-mouthed bitch got herself censored.............
Good.
Who's the bitch?
"So the foul-mouthed bitch got herself censored...good."
I will be generous and assume that this is a clever and ironic poke at those who consider themselves so morally superior that they are compelled to censor others, and not an actual opinion.
On the off chance that this is an actual opinion, I will offer some advice-Grow up and grow a pair, bitch!
It's for real.
You know what to do with your advice cretin. It can keep what passes for your brain company.
Let me guess though...
Ann Coulter is fine?
Lousy guess.
Ann Coulter is one of the lowest and most disgusting forms of life on this planet. Or any other one for that matter. She and her ilk make me feel ashamed of being human.
But on Livin' Life On the D-List...
I'm at odds with why they bothered to censor that.
I watch her show on Bravo (Kathy lover, guilty as charged), and she did a long bit about how her parents, as Catholics, take the lord's name in vain more than anybody else. She came up with every form of 'god damnit' and 'oh jesus' or 'paul, peter, etc" that she could come up with.
It's not like they couldn't have seen it coming.
Put your faith in Emmy!
You know, her Emmy will do a hell of a lot more for her than God can. I mean, can God get you into the hottest restaurant? The coolest club? The best rehab clinic (that's just a general comment about celebs, nothing about Kathy)? Hey, her Emmy will help with all of those, and also in salary negotiations, sex partner selection, and for all I know landing the best manicurist or personal trainer.
Put your faith in Emmy!

Who speaks for Jesus?
How does he even know she was referring to the Catholic Jesus? It could have been the Baptist, Methodist or Lutheran Jesus.

Go, Kathy
Yeah, for the most part, I find her annoying, though I did overhear one part of her routine once and laughed. She just rose several steps in my estimation, though, with that statement. Good job.

Email to Kathy
Thanks for the link. I sent an email as you suggested. I doubt it will get answered or they will change their minds, but it was a good idea anyway. I hope they get thousands and thousands of emails and letters calling them cowards.
And if you follow the second link Brent provided in the article he posted, it brings you to Kathy's website. I went there and left an email expressing my thanks and letting her know she has gained a new fan.
Thank that award for Kathy
Thank that award for Kathy Griffin! I never really liked her before, but I do now.
