I pray that someone  will approach her and tell her that despite her
feelings,Jesus still loves her and it will break his heart if she does not
repent only to  find herself standing before the Great White Throne
Judgement Seat having to give an account.

I do not agree with the supposed outrage from Bill Donue of the Catholic
League and his demanding of an apology from her at once. We live in a
fallen world after all and I for one do not need an apology from the world.
What I do need is  a daily  dose of grace and forgiveness from our Lord
Jesus Christ!

 Comic Kathy Griffin: 'Suck it, Jesus!'
 Emmy winner says trophy 'is my god now'

 Kathy Griffin, the star of the Bravo show "My Life on the D-List," used
 her appearance on the Emmy awards program to tell Jesus to "suck it" and
 to claim full credit for the honor for herself.
 
 
 Griffin, at the 59th annual Creative Arts Emmy Awards held recently, was
 honored for having the Outstanding Reality Program, overtaking ABC's
 "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" after several attempts.
 
 
 "I guess hell froze over," Griffin announced. "A lot of people come up
 here and thank Jesus for this. He had nothing to do with this. ... Suck
 it, Jesus! This award is my god now."
 
 
 The statement brought an immediate reaction from Bill Donohue, president
 of Catholic League. He called it a "vulgar in-your-face brand of hate
 speech" from a self-described "complete militant atheist." He also
 suggested The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences chairman Dick Askin
 take action, which wasn't long in coming.

 Officials confirmed the remarks will be censored when the program airs
 Saturday on E!, and Donohue said it was a good beginning.
 
 
 "The Academy … reacted responsibly to our criticism of Kathy Griffin's
 verbal assault on 85 percent of the U.S. population," he said. "The ball
 is now in Griffin's court. The self-described 'complete militant atheist'
 needs to make a swift and unequivocal apology to Christians. If she does,
 she will get this issue behind her. If she does not, she will be
 remembered as a foul-mouthed bigot for the rest of her life."
 
 
 He continued: "Mel Gibson. Michael Richards. Isaiah Washington. Imus.
 Jerry Lewis. Every time a celebrity offends a segment of the population,
 he pays a price, in one way or another. The question now is whether Kathy
 Griffin will pay a similar price for her outburst. And as we have learned,
 her verbal assault was calculated."
 
 
 Members of the mainstream media, including the Associated Press, were not
 reporting on the extreme portions of Griffin's statement, calling it
 instead an "off-color" remark.
 
 
 "It is [a] sure bet that if Griffin had said, 'Suck it, Muhammad,' there
 would have been a very different reaction from the crowd and from the
 media who covered this event," Donohue said. "To say nothing of the Muslim
 reaction."
 
 
 Donohue noted reports from the event said Griffin's "foul remark 'drew
 laughs.'"
 
 
 "It falls to Askin to distance the Academy from this outrageous incident.
 We are contacting Griffin's agent as well," Donohue said.
 
 
 According to Reuters, Griffin's reaction to the situation was: "Am I the
 only Catholic left with a sense of humor?"
 
 
 A blog post on New York Magazine's website said "we can always count on
 Kathy Griffin to inject a little energy into a boring awards show.
 
 
 "Usually she does it from the outside, sniping at celebrities' outfits
 with microphone in hand. But this year she finally got invited to the
 ball, winning a Creative Arts Emmy for Best Non-Competition Reality
 Program, and the star of 'Life on the D-List' didn't disappoint,
 unleashing a joyfully blasphemous rant…"
