COMIC Margaret Cho, who was bounced from her headlining gig at a Human Rights Campaign event by DNC bigwigs who feared another Whoopi Goldberg incident, is just back from death row. Bush-bashing Cho spent a few days at an Arkansas maximum security prison interviewing "West Memphis Three" ringleader Damien Echols for a book. Echols and two teen pals were convicted of murdering three 8-year-old boys in West Memphis, Ark., in 1994.

The Left's love affair with psychopaths continues. Amazing.
Why does the headline say Connie Cho? Did the post confuse her with Connie CHung?
I think they're trying to say that Cho is acting like Connie Chung with all of this.
Remember that wonderful sitcom she had 10 years ago. It lasted 3-4 episodes. She was never funny, and she never will be. At least Garafalo was funny sometimes.
Echols will never see true justice for his butchering these little boys, hanoi john is going to abolish the death penalty with his judicial black robe tyrants help. The dnc have eleminated the death penalty from their platform this year. It in an FR posted piece from the Nation...who was delighted with the thought that the DP was not part of the platform.
BOSTON -- The Democratic party platform that will be adopted this week includes one particularly significant change from the platforms adopted by the party conventions of 1992, 1996 and 2000. During the platform-writing process, the drafting committee quietly removed the section of the document that endorsed capital punishment. Thus, for the first time since the 1980s, Democrats will not be campaigning on a pro-death penalty program.
Everything I've read or heard about the "West Memphis Three" indicates they are innocent. They are more akin to the people convicted of false child abuse that have been championed by Dorothy Rabinowitz of the Wall Street Journal. (If anyone has more info I'd love to know about it -- I'd hate to champion the cause of anyone who is guilty of crimes like these.) In the meantime, I gotta say I may disagree with Margaret Cho on LOTS of things, but I admire her support for this particular cause.
They aren't even of the same ethnicity/national origin.
