As NewsBusters readers are well aware, vulgarian comedienne Kathy Griffin spends a lot of time bashing the Palins.
On Thursday's "Late Late Show," she told Craig Ferguson, "Half the fun is knowing I will irritate Elisabeth Hasselbeck and then maybe the other ladies at “The View” as well as hopefully Fox News's Bill O'Reilly (video follows with transcript and commentary):
CRAIG FERGUSON, HOST: Now you got into terrible trouble recently. What was it for the…
KATHY GRIFFIN: Oh, Bristol Palin.
FERGUSON: Yeah, the Bristol Palin…
GRIFFIN: I called her the white Precious.
[Applause]
FERGUSON: That’s right, I forgot about that. Now, that's -- you mustn't do that, Kathy. That's wrong.
GRIFFIN: Why are you acting like you don't know me now?
FERGUSON: It’s not that, it’s not you. You mustn't comment on women's weight. That’s not right.
GRIFFIN: No, that's so, so fun. I meant wrong. I meant, no, but half the fun is knowing I will irritate Elisabeth Hasselbeck and then maybe the other ladies at “The View” and be a Hot Topic. So, I reached my goal: I was Hot Topic and Pinhead of the Week.
FERGUSON: On "The View"?
GRIFFIN: No, Pinhead of the Week is on O'Reilly, which of course upsets my mother because she thinks she’s dating Bill O’Reilly. It’s a long, there’s a lot of this going on. And, anyway, so now I'm in an "Us Weekly" celebrity feud, which I guess, I don't think you’ve every been in an “Us Weekly” celebrity feud.
FERGUSON: I'm not a celebrity.
GRIFFIN: Well, I'm excited to be in a celebrity feud.
FERGUSON: Who with?
GRIFFIN: The Palins. Any Palin will do. I'll take them all. They are all comedic fun, like…
FERGUSON: No, no, no. Come on now.
GRIFFIN: The mom is like quit her job. Get her $10 million deal at Fox News.
FERGUSON: No, don’t go that, the Palins will, no, you don't know.
GRIFFIN: They will shoot you from a helicopter. “I thought she was a moose. I thought she was a moose with red hair!”
FERGUSON: Come on, now.
GRIFFIN: I’m not safe, I'm not safe in Wasilla. I know that.
FERGUSON: Is it a political thing with you?
GRIFFIN: It’s just fun. I mean, they’re just, I just love these ridiculous larger than life characters, and I just think it’s funny that you know, that, well, I just think the whole family is a riot. Just trust me.
Actually, what we should trust is that this "woman" understands quite well that all she has to do is say anything disparaging about one or all of the Palins, and the liberal media will eat it up.
Does that say more about her or the state of "journalism" today?
Sort of the way John Hinckley went after Reagan to impress Jodie Foster?
I can’t imagine half of the people in entertainment today having jobs in entertainment back in the old days. So much vulgarity, liberal political statements, mock outrage at conservatives, penis jokes, explicit sexual content in jokes, etc. etc. has made the entertainment business a sewer.
Irritating Hasselbeck is no biggie. She’s squishy as it is. Kathy just doesn’t have the guts to take it to Michelle Obama. Show some real fortitude Kathy and irritate the left. THAT would be accomplishing something. Picking on the Palin’s? Old hat. It’s been done to death.
But, I suppose if your career depends on knee-jerk reactions it’s all you’ve got. Pissant has a better shtick here than Kathy. (I only ping him because some board mommy/nanny will tell me I should have.)
I thought Kathy bashed the Palins because she’s a particularly sick pervert.
Holy crap! I don’t know where Kathy Griffin went to school but that was the poorest excuse of the English language I think I’ve ever heard. How the heck does that looney tune continue to get work
No she is a lefty Harpy and that is a standard MO for that perverted bunch.
The worse fate that can befall a comedian is to turn around one day, and nobody’s listening.....
“GRIFFIN: The mom is like quit her job. Get her $10 million deal at Fox News.”
Kathy,Like you quit your job Hooking on MLK Blvd to do some idiotic stand up!
Careful Kathy I think they shoot weasels from helicopters also.
She’s as entertaining as a case of diarrhea.
“I just love these ridiculous larger than life characters,”
Because they make her feel small and unimportant.
This is pretty much what motivates most liberals: a childlike desire for attention.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ This is one of the core tenets of Liberalism - forget about what's right and wrong, it's just all about Meeeeeeeeeeeee !!!!
I had to search her name - found an image - “Oh that skank” whateva....
Like YOUR president? No duck-footed dork in history has been made to look more larger-than-life than BO.
Knock yourself out, wannabe comic.
She has the gays and the Bravo TV crowd. That’s pretty much it. Make fun of the Palins all you want, Kathy. The only one who looks like a jerk is you. What’s killing Griffin is that the Palins and anyone with half a brain ignores her.
Kathy, stay out of Wasilla, its not safe! Go back to LA where you’ll definitely be safe! LOL
