Kathy Griffin Says Jesus Can 'Suck It'

Controversial comedienne Kathy Griffin caused quite a stir during the un-aired, Creative Arts portion of the Emmy Awards this Sunday, when, during her acceptance speech for her Bravo reality show, My Life on the D-List, Kathy Griffin said, "Suck it, Jesus."

In its entirety, Kathy Griffin's comment was, "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. So, all I can say is, 'suck it, Jesus.' This award is my god now!"

Before I go on, let's not even try to say that we really believe Kathy is at home worshiping an Emmy, where a portrait of the crucifix previously stood. Plenty of people will be discussing whether they believe Kathy's comment should have been censored or not, if free speech is in jeopardy, the same conversation we have every year someone does or says something fleeting and terrible. Well we all know what she said verbatim, along with Sally Field and all the others because it was everywhere, immediately and unencumbered, several days hence, wasn't it? The way it always is, the way we all knew it would be. So rest easy young country. Fox was trying to spare certain ears from abuse, not tinsel town from their freedoms. The gesture was more along the lines of propriety than censorship, a dying art in my opinion.
