Quote of the Day

"Well, my take on Charlie Sheen is that, if that was a woman, she would have been fired; her ass would've been fired a long time ago. So, you know, only in television can a male who's done all that stuff still have a job, because how many average men or women could behave that way and keep their job? And in this economy, it's kind of infuriating—because I think the guy makes a million dollars an episode or something like that, and I think about all the people that go to work every day, and, if they make one misstep, they're fired, and then we see them at the job fair, and this guy's just livin' large."—Kathy Griffin, on Charlie Sheen, privilege, sexism, classism, and double standards.
