Man, this makes me just furious. I can’t stand Imus (personal) ...but we all know he’s said far worse over the years, and YET no one stopped him...what- were they all DEAF?
This is completely insane.
That’s a distinct possibility.
Check out the hypocrisy (NewsMax actually did a decent job for once):
Two years ago, Penn Jillette [of the comedy team Penn and Teller] went on ‘Showtime’ calling Mother Teresa ‘Mother F***ing Teresa’ and called the nuns who worked with her ‘f***ing c**ts.’ ‘Showtime’ is owned by Viacom and that is why I wrote to its chief, Sumner Redstone, to register a complaint. He wrote back extolling the merits of ‘artistic freedom’ and ‘tolerance,’” Donohue stated.
“Last year, on Viacom-owned CBS radio, Jillette said Mother Teresa ‘had this weird kink that I think was sexual,’ compared the saintly nun to Charles Manson and said she ‘got her [sexual] kicks watching people suffer and die.’ Again, nothing was done about this.
Donohue then quoted an episode of comedian Bill Maher. “In 2005, Bill Maher went on HBO at the time of the death of Pope John Paul II and said, ‘For those who could not make the funeral, the Vatican has asked that in lieu of flowers, just stop touching your d**k.’ He also said that the whole story of Jesus, the Virgin Mary, and the Resurrection was ‘grafted from paganism’; he ended by mocking the death of the Pope and the upcoming conclave. The letter I received from HBO said that ‘it’s a free country, and people are free to say silly things—even on HBO.’
