Another "Comic" Steps In It

What is it with comics named "Griffin"? First we had Eddie Griffin who was pulled off a show for repeated use of the "n" word, and now another Griffin has been equally offensive at the Emmy's:

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."

Griffin has described herself as a "militant atheist". She had better enjoy the good life while she still can.

UPDATE: Griffin's offensive remark will be cut from the broadcast:

Comic Kathy Griffin's "offensive" remarks about Jesus at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards will be cut from a pre-taped telecast of the show, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences said on Tuesday.
