Comedienne Kathy Griffin may be doomed to life on CNN's S-list after answering a heckler with a shrieking, vulgar tirade during the network's live New Year's Eve broadcast.

Mrs. WBill occasionally surfs into her reality TV show.

I watched her prance around overseas for about 5 minutes....She fit the definition of "Ugly American" to a 'T'.

And (some) people wonder why other cultures have such a poor opinion of us. Let me present Exhibit 'A'.

Yeah , Richard Pryor.. didn't that foul mouth set himself on fire , trying to light up some drugs? That is really funny (sarc). Stupid and vulgar, and well now dead. As for Eddie Murphy, I did not realize he was a foul mouth as Richard Pryor.

I am fortunate enough to not run across much of her “comedy”, as I don’t watch the things she is on, but I have seen her from time to time. I can’t think of a more un-funny, talent-less, foul-mouthed, pathetic, attention whore, loser. She relies on nothing but vulgarity and juvenile potty humor. She appeals only to the basest mentalities and the mentally stunted.

I noticed you just joined Free Republic today, not sure this foul mouth Kathy Griffin is a Movie Star. Not sure knowing who she is is enlightening either. Welcome to Free Republic.

I think you just wrote what could be Kathy Griffin’s tombstone description of her life ... “un-funny, talent-less, foul-mouthed, pathetic, attention whore, loser.”

It’s a reality show that follows her around in her home, going to various venues and snippets of her shows. It does show a more human side of her from time to time—definitely not as sarcastic as her live performances.

Pryor and Murphy used foul language in their acts, true, but it was just part of the line of banter while telling a joke or a story. They didn’t just lash out at people with nothing but a profanity-laced verbal attack and then call it a bit. That’s all she has. She spews a bunch of verbal diarrhea and imagines herself as being funny and witty.

You don’t want to be enlightened. Stay in the dark...it’s better that way.

I don’t know who most of them are, either. I don’t know if it’s me, but looking at that picture of Ms. Griffin, I would have said it was a drag queen. She looks a tad on the masculine side. Perhaps that is why she talks like a trucker.

They let it fly.

They really did since this was easily preventable. But then why hire Griffin at all if you're going to make use of a dump button? They had every intention of allowing her filth to fly.

I wonder if the companies who bought ad time on the show are happy?

Hope she turns it around before that. I don't have any animosity towards her, I just think it's really sad and pathetic that this is what passes for "talent" these days.

Not in my world.

In short, another crappy, contrived “reality” show.

It wasn’t so funny when Michael Richards went off on his tirade, if the one that Kathy Griffin was talking to was say a Muslim... she would probably be on a hit list somewhere.

Well, seeing as how she’s pretty much a fag hag, and she’s with anderson cooper, and we didn’t hear what was said to her...I think the comeback is hilarious.

I can not tell you how much better I feel, since stopping all viewing of the news channels, Fox , CNN, MSNBC. I have stopped watching FOX, ABC, NBC, ABC for the last few months because there is nothing on them but trashy shows. I tried watching one show last night, Deal or no Deal, but when the game player on the show lost out on a big deal, she started crawling around on the floor, I said Ewwwwww... and cut off the TV. I am definetly going to get more hobbies, that do not include TV

I agree. These people don't seem to get it that it quits being funny when it becomes nothing more than a vicious attack on someone, no matter if they richly deserve it or not.

Profanity is the first weapon the weak-minded grab in a verbal contest.

I can’t remember the last time I actually watched a network news program. They long ago quit reporting the news. I catch news hi-lights on the radio all day while I’m working, and combined with FR and other sites, I’m more informed about things than almost everyone I work with. It’s really sad.
