CNN Reporter Gushes to Lorena Bobbitt: 'Are You Finally Able to Laugh About It?'

On Tuesday morning, CNN anchor Alina Cho interviewed Lorena Bobbitt – who unsurprisingly goes by her maiden name, Lorena Gallo – to discuss her recent efforts to reach out to domestic abuse victims and combat spousal abuse. However, the network not only failed to explain the specifics of her 1993 domestic dispute – where she infamously severed her then-husband John Bobbitt's penis with a kitchen knife – but asked her if she can now look back and laugh about the attack.

"I finally am. And it took a lot of time, it took a lot of years," Gallo responded. "But it's not a subject of laughing matter when we talk about domestic violence, though," she added.

Its great when perpetrators of domestic violence can be rehabilitated to be an advocate against domestic abuse and CAN STILL laugh about mutilating another Human Being

:sarcasm:

She's got to be a RATpubliCON

1. That is sick

so freaking, sick. No words.

[KansDem]

2. Again, American "journalism" hits a new low...

Just when you thought it couldn't go any lower.

14. I gave up on CNN 15 years ago

when it really started going downhill. I don't think I could watch it today without damaging my TV.

[VeryLibGal]

3. It is a sad commentary on the American society in general.

[tabasco]

4. "Severing body parts is sooooo hilarious!!!"

"It's a great way to become a celebrity victim and get paid to give women advice.

"Hahahahahha - it's sooooo much funnier than leaving and getting a divorce, like a sane person would do.

"And the best part about it - - "it's not my fault! LOL! - - I'm the real victim!"

5. She's Cuban, no? nt

6. does it make a difference

[DCKit]

8. They're the (R) hispanic base.

It's all about perspective.

[FreakinDJ]

10. True - RATpubliCONs are Shameless Hypocrites

regardless of race

[EFerrari]

7. That's horrible.

On the other hand (or maybe the same hand), John Wayne Bobbit took his story on tour. My ex opened for him. So, this story has been creepy and inappropriate on both sides from the start.

This society is so twisted any more.

[FreakinDJ]

9. Really - thats pretty ucky

Running around bragging he survived an "Addadicktome Operation"

Sorry couldn't resist the pun

But your right - I didn't know he went on speaking tour and your right both parties are very Fucked Up. My objection was the CNN reporter dismissing the severity of what Lorena did with what seems like a joking demeanor.

Human Mutilation is not a joke no matter what gender the victim is

[EFerrari]

11. The media eggs it on, that's right. LIke they egged on calls

for Assange's assassination. They have no ethics or morals.

[provis99]

12. yep. Penis mutiliation is real funny.

I suppose we'd be laughing along with John Bobbitt if he had decided to slice off his wife's breasts, because that's so funny too.:sarcasm:

13. Not to make light of it, but there were a lot of Lorena Bobbit jokes at the time. An

it was used in many late night comedy skits. Should it be joked about by the MSM, probably not.
