Message: I Care About Margaret Cho

Thanks for all the Cho-tips. I've got the main story on Yahoo now. I'm trying to think of something to do with the story.

Nick points me in a potentially fruitful direction -- she's releasing a "rap CD" on "health and nutrition" -- but if that picture on Drudge really is Cho, I might have to lay off the Cho-is-fat jokes.

OTOH, Vapid Vamp Wonkette seems to think it's not Cho, and castigates Drudge for posting a picture of one Asian in place of another.

I don't know. Compare:

The first picture says, "Love you long time." The second says, "It puts the lotion in the basket."

Either that first pic isn't Cho or else she should marry that photographer and never be fifteen feet away from him for the rest of her life.

Update: Ryan tips that Wonkette has reversed herself:

We mocked Drudge, and now we have to give him the mad props for creative photo editing. Because this is Margaret Cho. We're guessing this 'undated' photo is from her anorexic pill-head days. We like her better now.

I should have known better than to rely on Wonkette. What could I have been thinking?

Rocketeer adds in the comments that this could just be a photography trick. Something about an 18mm lens. I have no idea what he's talking about, but it sounds good to me.

Another Correction: Johnny Catbird points out Cho's "book" isn't a book, but a "rap CD" on "health and nutrition." My apologies.

I read "rap CD on health and nutrition" but my brain just couldn't process such ridiculousness.

"It puts the lotion in the basket."

Now I know it's possible to laugh up a kidney.

Cordially...

Re: Cho pic from Drudge.

18mm lens.

Shot from above.

It's all a trick of photography. With the right photo equipment, you can make Rosie O'Donnell look like a heroine-addicted Ford model.

I can't believe you guys actually read Wonkette.

It's not a book, Ace
It's a hip-hop/rap album
about nutrition

I gotta go call my GF and tell her I'll be late getting home, because I'm working overtime to ensure misery for gay and lesbian Americans.

Speaking of Fat Jokes...

Wonkette sucks big moose cock. For cash.

Or, wait, maybe that was Washingtonienne...

Never mind.

Ace! I got the lyrics to the title cut off Cho's health and fitness rap CD:

Me So Hungry
By MC and the Clappers

More S&M humor than Anna Marie Cox
And I’m mockin’ my mom for the way that she talks:
“My name, she garble it!
She call me Margalet!”
All Da Gay Boyzz, they think my act rocks.

Used to be a chub
Jonesing for some grub
Then Ace of Spades said I
look like O-Dub

I slander the prez as good as Ted Rall can
Bustin’ the clappers like a Millennium Falcon
The Right’s workin’ late
Increasin’ the hate
While I dream of bein' the Left’s Michelle Malkin.

Ace called me Pudge
I gave up the fudge
Dropped a buck-thirty
Now check me on Drudge!

Sorry, Folks! Fixed! I hope! Comment if you still can't see the pics.

Margaret who now?
Unfunny, fat and ugly.
Lesbo? Bi? Who cares?

There's no way I'm buying that's Cho in the skinny picture, even with an 18mm lens. Forget about the body, look at the face. Even with a major weight loss it doesn't look right.
