Margaret Cho Dissed

Margaret Cho has been dumped by the Human Rights Campaign from performing at its Monday gala near the Democratic convention in Boston, according to USA Today. We just praised HRC for their recent smart political ads on the Cheneys. Too bad they caved here out of fear the media would make hay over her comments. There's a big difference between an HRC event with a stand-up comic (one of our favorites) making jokes and an event where candidate Kerry is in attendance, sharing a stage with celebs and calls them the "heart and soul" of the nation. Maybe Rush Limbaugh would have tried to make something out of it, but no one else would. HRC's silly defense? "We didn't want to censor her, so we're making other plans." You didn't want to censor her so you censored her? Huh?
