librarian.net at the DNC:
Margaret Cho will not be performing at the Unity 2004 event. She was univited because the organizers feared a "potential media firestorm." This sort of overly-cautious self-censorship on the Democratic side -- while the VP can say "fuck yourself" to my state Senator and Schwartzenegger can call Democrats, union members and lawyers "girlie men" -- really reflects badly on even the idea of leadership, much less the notion of having some backbone and standing up for what you believe in.
