Was Kathy Griffin dumped over Jesus joke?

Kathy GriffinControversy continues to swirl around the Disney Channel's once-squeaky-clean Hannah Montana series. Now Kathy Griffin is telling Entertainment Weekly she was fired from the series for comments she made at last year's Creative Arts Emmys.

I dunno. Does "Suck it, Jesus! This award is my god now!" seem all that bad? That's probably one of the classier things the D-List comedian has ever said.

But Griffin didn't go quietly into the night, opting instead to fire off a few shots at the show's star, Miley Cyrus, whose racy Vanity Fair photos are making the water cooler rounds this week. "[She] has been flashing her green bra and posing topless," said Griffin. "I was basically told, 'Disney doesn't want you anywhere near the building.'"

Disney tells a different story, saying that Griffin was fired from her guest role for creative reasons, not because of "comedy routines or public comments," a Disney official told Entertainment Weekly.

Ok, let's break it down here. First of all, Kathy, it was a guest role. That doesn't mean permanent. It means guest. Second, telling Jesus to "suck it" doesn't seem like a good way to get in anyone's good graces, including Jesus. Third, there's this thing called "tact." Look it up. And fourth, please don't ever go near a red carpet again. Ever. Your hosting gig at the Emmys a while back was just...gah, I can't even think about it.

Other than that, I really like you.
