So, let me get this straight.  She used no “bad” words.  She showed no “offending” body parts.  She wasn’t drunk.  She didn’t call anyone a “ho”.  She just said Jesus ain’t the reason for her season…  And she gets censored? 

What country is this again?  Oh yeah… the United “Christian” States of America.  I forgot myself for a bit there. 

“Kathy Griffin’s offensive remarks will not be part of the E! telecast on Saturday night,” the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences said in a statement Monday.

In her speech, Griffin said that “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.”

She went on to hold up her Emmy, make an off-color remark about Christ and proclaim, “This award is my god now!”

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.”
 

Grow up , Bill Donohue.  And while you’re at it, here’s some pertinent info from the Constitution.
