Kathy Griffin
[Moozik: Killing Joke - Communion]
With all the recent kerfuffle about Kathy Griffin's acceptance speech after winning her Emmy the other day, it seems that there's a little pot calling the kettle going on here.
The comedian's remarks were condemned Monday by Catholic League President Bill Donohue, who called them a "vulgar, in-your-face brand of hate speech."So, hate speech is wrong. Unless of course your particular brand of hate speech comes from bigots like Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, or Jimmy Swaggart. Then it's perfectly ok.
From the Ted Haggard prostitution/drug scandal to more pedophilia than you can shake a stick at, it seems that Christians do like to get all worked up about entirely the wrong things. But she made a joke about Jesus. Won't somebody think of the children?
For the record, I think Kathy Griffin's speech was rather funny actually.
