This Week's Rosie Award Winner: "Comedian" Billy Crystal

And the winner of this week's Rosie Award for Outstanding Achievement in Anti-Catholic Commentary is:

Here's what put Billy over the top:

Later, comedian Billy Crystal, making another appearance at the annual [Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center Foundation fundraiser], joined the act.

"I respect his right to choose," Crystal said of [Archbishop Raymond] Burke. "His right to choose not to be here."

After a round of applause, Crystal added: "After all, charity begins at home — because that's where he is."

Billy, it's just rude for a member of another faith, while a guest at a Catholic-sponsored event on Church property, to attack the Archbishop of the diocese in which the event is being held (not that the remarks of "Catholic" Bob Costas were much better).

For all you do, Billy, this Rosie's for you.

"Aarrrrgh! I hates Catholics!"
