CHO'S BIG SHOW: Margaret Cho proved freedom of speech is alive and well as she entertained an enthusiastic sold-out house at the Blaisdell Concert Hall. President Bush, Laura Bush, Condoleeza Rice, William Hung and Christians were some of the targets of her hilarious X-rated commentary on sex, ethnic and racial stereotypes, gay rights, porn, the Bush Administration and her sex life. Unfortunately, her best material can't be shared here.
