He cannot know every nuance of every culture that is represented by his guests.<br /><br />In fact, I'm sure he is aware of the issue itself, like most of us, just not aware of the term signifying it...M a r chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093010409069001860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-51248723129695411052009-06-17T15:42:57.245-04:002009-06-17T15:42:57.245-04:00Gods, it would sure be nice if people got half a c...Gods, it would sure be nice if people got half a clue what they were talking about before they began speaking, wouldn't it?

So, if you want to blame someone, you should blame yourself for not properly spreading around the background knowledge of such an esoteric term. And just because you happen to know a term LK doesn't, that doesn't make you smarter than him or qualified to replace him as CNN talk show host.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-62624125587315831762009-06-17T11:26:47.063-04:002009-06-17T11:26:47.063-04:00I had to Google the word Intersex!

But she is a comedian not a politician. Plus she was only following what Cher said, and even said she wasn't sure how to refer to Chaz.<br /><br />Larry King on the other hand made the statement in the second clip that now Chaz will be referred to as he, which I thought was positive. I am not mad at Larry King for not knowing what intersex is, I am dissapointed, he can make up for it by explaining it tonight.Queers Unitedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05074493276489593816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-49044087050793150242009-06-17T10:00:10.487-04:002009-06-17T10:00:10.487-04:00It's Kathy Griffin, that's what she does. ...It's Kathy Griffin, that's what she does.
