Kathy Gifford, a comedian and TV host and a fairly rabid
liberal, lost her job on the Anderson-Cooper show after being photographed proudly
holding what looked like Donald Trump’s severed head, and after the blogosphere
and Twitter world was awash with outrage. Yesterday, mimicking Hillary Clinton’s
refusal take any responsibility, she claimed it was all unfair, and that she blamed
her firing on Donald Trump – it couldn’t possibly have had anything to do with
her own insensitivity or terrible taste.
I do wonder what her reaction would have been if sometime
during the Obama years a Fox News personality had gotten himself or herself photographed
proudly holding a severed head of President Barak Obama. The screams of racism from liberals would
have been deafening.
