Does Kathy Lee Gifford Hate Pagans?
Thursday June 26, 2008
I'd rather remove my eyes with a fork than sit through seven minutes of Kathy Lee Gifford, but reader Tinker tipped me off to this video of yesterday’s Today Show. Apparently Kathy Lee was going around a wedding asking people little quizzy questions so she could give them gift bags.
At around the 4:45 mark, here’s the exchange:
Kathy Lee: Why do you wear your wedding band on your left hand ring finger? Is it because (a) most people write with their right hand? Is it (b), because Egyptians believed that finger follows the vein of love to the heart, or (c), the Pagans -- the nasty, bad Pagans -- believed it was bad luck to wear metal on your right side?
Now, I know Kathy Lee is all big into born-again Christianity, and she’s quite devout -- more power to her, she’s welcome to be. But really, Kathy Lee, was that little dig necessary? If she had said, "Those greedy, sneaky Jews" or "Those dirty, unwashed Hindus", or any other ugly stereotype, it would have been equally obnoxious.

I found this link to be able to send her email -- which I did letting them know it was an uncalled for statement and I highly doubted she would say such a thing about Catholics. I also let them know they have lost a Today show viewer.
I encourage you all to do the same!
