Madigan: All comedians are ugly

We’re not paraphrasing. It’s in the Cox News Service interview that ran in the Kansas City Star.

The fact is, most comedians are ugly.

We wrenched it out of context. But it’s not very pretty in context, either.

She weighs in on Kathy Griffin, Larry The Cable Guy, Dane Cook and others. Perhaps she was misquoted. Several times. We hope so.

Also noteworthy is the size of the pic that’s running with the article. It’s a giant headshot of Griffin… and below it are two fingernail-sized pics of Madigan and Cook. Regrettable editorial choice or HTML quirk?

For the record: If asked to name some ugly comedians, we can’t come up with any who are all that hideous off the top of our heads. (No, this is not an invitation to list unattractive comedians in the Comments section. If anything, let’s list the attractive ones… and, what the heck, let’s boost Madigan’s self-esteem and list her first.)
