Bill Maher Outs Mehlman; CNN Tries To Put Genie Back in Closet

This is happening fast and is interesting....

Comedian Bill Maher, on Larry King on Wednesday night, outed RNC Chair and top gay-baiter Ken Mehlman. Huffington Post still has the fast disspearing clip. The clip also appeared on youtube and a variety of other blogs. There are still many posting of the uncut interview on youtube.

After first editing the intereview and removing Maher's statement that Mehlman is gay for reboradcasts of the Larry King show, CNN then purged the transcipt of the reference as well. Next, CNN got youtube to pull send out some cease and desist letters. However, as mentioned above there are many postings of the clip still on youtube. What gives?

Question to CNN: why? Fear of legal action from La Ken? Or is their a new and suddenly enforced CNN policy on youtubing their content. As of now, I think CNN is silent.
