Cho no-go in Boston - no joke!

Margaret has been Whoopi'd.
The potty-mouthed comedian has been cut from a gay political bash coinciding with the Democratic convention.
Apparently, its John Kerry-friendly organizers are worried that her racy routine will become more fodder for Republicans who have been trying to label the Massachusetts senator the candidate of Hollywood values instead of family values.
The Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest gay rights group, insists it is not censoring Cho, whose anti-Bush diatribes are well known in the gay and lesbian community.
"We want this event to be about the unity of the gay community," said group spokesman Mark Shields. "Margaret's people made very clear that they had material that was not in that vein and we didn't want to censor her, so we just made other plans."

She's been Whoopi'd, folks. But seeing as how the HRC is pretty ****ty organization, she shouldn't worry. She's done more for gays and lesbians than the HRC ever will.
