Nice job of fact checking and editing by Farah and his cabal of buffoons at World Nut Daily. It's a mosaic, not a statue.

A Catholic advocacy group charges the sports TV network ESPN has failed to respond properly to a graphic rant by anchorwoman Dana Jacobson in which she "attacked Jesus Christ."
Jacobson, reportedly intoxicated, was speaking at a celebrity roast in Atlantic City, N.J., when she unleashed a profane tirade, saying, "F--- Notre Dame," "F--- Touchdown Jesus" and finally "F--- Jesus."
"Touchdown Jesus" is the popular moniker for a statue on the Notre Dame campus of Jesus raising his arms.
Catholic League president Bill Donohue said he pressed ESPN on the issue and received an e-mail with an unsatisfactory statement by Jacobson.
The statement said, in part, "My remarks about Notre Dame were foolish and insensitive. I respect all religions and did not mean anything derogatory by my poorly chosen words."
Donohue contended the response "fails on several counts."
First, there is no evidence that ESPN is taking this matter seriously," he said. "Are we to believe that her hate speech is of no consequence?"
Donohue argued Jacobson's comments were at a public event where she represented ESPN.
Secondly, he pointed out, racist remarks by the late sports commentator Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder during a luncheon interview in 1988 resulted in his prompt firing by CBS, despite an apology.
Donohue added, "It is also important to note that being drunk didn't help Mel Gibson's case when he made bigoted remarks about Jews."
Finally, the Catholic leader said, "By far the most offensive thing she said, 'F--- Jesus,' isn't even addressed!"

In other words you respect none.
I’d like to see her say the equivalent about Islam’s prophet and then watch her go into hiding after all the death threats and fatwas etc.
OK, not really, I never want anyone to face the wrath of Muslim fanaticism, but it’s always “interesting” to watch all the complacent media liberals so free to bash Christianity and especially Catholicism while they would never dream of saying or tolerating similar remarks against the “religion of peace” (sic) and its prophet.
That is what I wrote to ESPN. If she said F_ck Mohammed, she would be fired. ESPN is a bunch of NE liberal pukes anyway.
I hope Stan has a good contractor, because there is going to be a need for more housing in hell.
Satan, oops.
Dana, take it from me...alcohol is not always your friend.
Incredible.
About this time, she would be looking for one missing head, were she to pull that kind of stuff in a Muslim country about Muhammed.
Thanks for the link, I wrote,

Did she actually drop the complete “F-bomb” or just the euphemistic “F-letter”?
“F” Dana Jacobson.
All? Including Rev. Jim Jones?
Yeah, I guess if I looked like that I’d be mad at the world, too.
Pity her and pray for her.
