William Donohue Needs to Calm Down

Kathy Griffith won a Creative Arts Emmy the other day, and gave the following acceptance speech:

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. Can you believe this shit? Hell has frozen over. So, all I can say is, 'Suck it, Jesus.' This award is my God now.

Of course, this sent William Donohue of the Catholic League into a fit (admittedly, it is actually hard to tell when William Donohue is having a fit since he appears be unable to speak in any tone other than 'loud and angry'). Donohue demanded that E! censor the show and, like the obedient lapdogs to the dominant hegemony they are, E! complied.

First off William, have you ever seen an awards show before? My guess is the answer is no, because if you had you would have realized that the main target of her sarcasm was all the people who give sappy and/or phony shout-outs to God and/or Jesus during awards ceremonies as if them winning the Life Achievement Award for Daytime Drama was all part of the divine plan.

Plus it's hard to take this too seriously coming from a guy who said this during a discussion of Passion of the Christ: "Hollywood is controlled by secular Jews who hate Christianity in general and Catholicism in general." He has also offered up zingers such as "...I'm pretty good at picking out who the queers are..." and claims that the little problem that the Catholic Church had with child rapists was actually a homosexual issue, not a pedophile issue. Really anyone who has ever heard Donohue on TV before (why anyone besides Fox News keeps inviting him back I have no idea) knows that every time somebody does or says something he doesn't like he goes on some crappy news show and screams and calls them a bigot.

Do you want to know why some people are skeptical of the Catholic Church William? It's you.

Besides, I know from my personal relationship with Jesus that he actually loves My Life on the D-List and watches it all the time. He said he saw the award show and though that shit was hilarious.

Oh by the way William, Kathy Griffith called and said to thank you for the free publicity.
