Controverial comic Margaret Cho is about to become even more so.

'Im hoping to get arrested during the Republican convention,' Cho tells us.

Later this month, Cho will spend at least two nights at the Apollo Theatre courting fans during her 'State of Emergency Tour' and the rest of her time courting New York's finest.

Although she works with such liberal groups as MoveOn.org and is an outspoken activist for gay marriage, Cho is still unsure what tatic she will undertake to attract attention from the NYPD.

'Ive never been arrested, so I'm not sure what to do, but I figure I will chain myself to a fence somewhere.'

I haven't gotten a hotel room yet so I'm hoping the police station will be able to accommodate me,' she said.

Perhaps someone could convince her to chain herself to a subway car, preferably one bound for NJ ;'}

....and a membership at 24 Hour Fitness.

Lolol! Why is it that a disproportionate number of lesbians are chubby?

Im sure this maroon will get her wish!

So would the NYPD putting her on the South Beach Diet constitute cruel and unusual punishment??

Just when I thought the pics couldn't get any worse, you go and post a pic of Marge shaking hands with the devil.

I agree, this is going to be the great entertainment..get the popcorn popping now!

[Last Visible Dog]

My day will not be complete unless you enlighten me - WHAT IS A "MAROON"??????

Maybe this will help:

Wav of Bugs: "What a maroon"

Screw it, why make her wait for her wish. Arrest her now!

Bonus answer: Albuquerque!!!!!

Man, she'll do anything to get back on tv. How long did her sit-com last? Two weeks?

[gopwinsin04]

Hillary was probably on the prowl for a date!

That easy for you Margaret... go out with out your leash on and poop in the street

[gopwinsin04]

I think she was fired from ABC because she was getting way too huge..

[CaptRon]

And who, exactly, should care.

If you tell everyone that you're going to try to get arrested and you do, does it still count toward liberal brownie points?

[gopwinsin04]

It depends, brownie points for PETA or Greenpeace but probably not otheriwse..

[True Capitalist]

Judging by Cho's recent photos, she's almost as full of hot air as her physical counterpart Michael Moore!

You know the entire social conservative movement will be out in full force all over the Republican National Convention, going on and on about the unraveling of the moral fiber of this nation due to the rampant acceptance of homosexuality.

Another total nutter from the left. Not being in favour of gay marriage doesn't mean homosexuals are any less secure in their property. Even John Kerry supposedly doesn't want gay marriage either (it's a vote loser). Go sic him, Margaret.
