There was no pot of gold at the end of Margaret Cho's rainbow.

The 41-year-old comic was voted off Dancing With The Stars Tuesday night, after her 18-point samba in a rainbow-patterned dress Monday failed to earn her enough votes from the viewers or judges to remain on ABC’s ballroom hit.

Cho, who was partnered with Louis Van Amstel, said the show has ignited a passion within her for dancing.

"I thought the judges were really hard on me,” Cho said, “but I think you were hard on me because you could see that I am a dancer for real.

"And I thank you for that,” she said. “I will take that with me forever... thank you for the opportunity to let me dance -- I'm going to keep dancing."

The dance was a tribute to gay pride after a recent spike of gay teen suicides, such as Tyler Clementi, the 18-year-old Rutgers freshman who killed himself after classmates outed him.

She was the weakest dancer so I'm glad she's gone. Brandy should be next to go. Can't stand her or her partner.

Margaret Cho was painful to watch. Then she started her social commentary. Agreed this is not the forum for social commentary. It is a dance /entertainment show. When Heather Mills opened her yap people did not vote for her again either..enough said

OK...we get it already!! Kindness for ALL humanity. Just couldn't help thinking how 'in your face' their routine
was...and for the kids watching. All we want to see is "dancing"...save the social commentary for the
appropriate venue.
