Sue Marsh, executive director of Rosie’s Place, said today that she learned of Bernhard’s remarks yesterday after getting an e-mail about them.

“We were horrified so we decided that we wouldn’t have her at our event,” Marsh said.

All of the Boston news stations' female anchors were attending this fundraiser.

Boston talk show hosts were taking a fit about this appearance this morning.

As you can see Sandra Bernhard is ugly both inside and out.

It was very appropriate to boot her - the “gang rape” “joke” was somewhat offensive, but a comedian using this kind of humor has no business performing at an event involving a women’s shelter.

Sandra will be all right ... she can go to the women’s bathroom at the Back Bay subway stop, and work for nickels.

A nasty, foul-mouthed, ugly, witch of a human being who hates herself can’t be expected to understand a decent person who values her family, her country, and her faith.

And liberals call what she does “entertainment”...is it any wonder the Moslems hate what they see when they see Television broadcasts from the west?

In hollywood this is considered censorship. You not only can’t stop someone from saying something you don’t like, you are required to give them the venue in which to spout it.

She had a certain quirky unconventional beauty back in the eighties after her breakout supporting role as DeNiro’s nutty girlfriend in 1982’s “The King of Comedy” and she was really well-stacked in her topless scene in 1990’s “Without You I’m Nothing” but it was not to last.

Seeing that picture, I feel like the first victim of The Mummy (with Brendan Frazer):

Johnny: ...and boy is she ugly!

Audience (yelling): How ugly is she?

Johnny: She’s so ugly, the Taliban call her a “two-burka”. One burka to cover her from head to toe and another in case the first one rips!
