Kathy Griffin calls Bristol Palin fat at USO event, and soldiers boo her By Laura Donovan - The Daily Caller 11:06 AM 12/06/2010 ADVERTISEMENT

Comedian Kathy Griffin wasn’t so popular with the troops during her USO Diva’s Salute stand-up act on Sunday, when she poked fun at Bristol Palin’s weight.

“[Bristol Palin] is the only contestant in the history of ["Dancing with the Stars"] to actually gain weight.”

Following a chorus of boos, Griffin went on to say, “No, come on, come on. She gained, like, 30 pounds a week. I swear to God, it was fantastic. She’s like the white ‘Precious,’” referring to the obese African-American character in the eponymous 2009 film.

When the booing continued, Griffin shouted, “You can boo louder than that! Come on, boo me! I love it! I love it! War is Hell, war is Hell!”

This isn’t the first shot Griffin has taken at the Palin family. In 2009, Griffin made jokes about Sarah Palin’s infant Trig, who was born with Down Syndrome. Kathy Griffin justified calling Trig Palin a “retard baby” via Twitter:

Haven’t the soldiers done enough? Do they deserve to have to listen to Kathy Griffin?

Wow, all that plastic surgery and Kathy Griffin still looks like that?

She should fire her plastic surgeon.

Maybe you can’t fix ugly.

Remember: A person is not condemned by what goes into his mouth but what comes out of it. I’d like to think that even our words, not just our actions will be counted on Judgement Day.

Shame on her for being so disrespectful to the troops.

Kathy Griffin used to be a reasonably funny stand-up comedienne. Then she became notorious for being “mean”, and it’s been a downward spiral as she gets meaner and meaner to keep up with her own reputation.

I want to be appreciative of ANYone who volunteers time for the troops (e.g., Al Franken), but this? I can’t be appreciative of this. It’s not as though Griffin was taking herself away from a busy, lucrative career.

It’s not that you can’t fix ugly....it’s just that when ugly goes to the very CORE of your being, no amount of surgery can help you.

Miss Griffin is just such a person.

"What is it about liberalism that brings out the UGLY in women?"

The just age so ungracefully. Compare a 45-60 year old formerly hot liberal womand with a similar conservative woman. It's shocking. The libs make it even worse by resorting to so much botox/plastic surgery they look like freaks or wax dummies.

She is a talentless Hollywod hack, who is managed by Rahm Emmanuel's brother Ari and who hooked up with loser levi Johnston in order to embarrass the Palins. She's also in league with the so-called Alaska "bloggers," who acted as Pete Rouse's political hit squad in driving Sarah from the governor's office.

Connect the dots...

-Griffin is represented by Hollywood super agent Ari Emanuel (brother of Rahm). She joked that Ari was terrified of Griffin doing something embarrassing when she films in Washington.

I don’t disagree with what you wrote, but in this case it is the USO that is embarrassing itself.

I have donated to them in the past. I will not anymore.

“Comedian Kathy Griffin wasn’t so popular with the troops during her USO Diva’s Salute stand-up act on Sunday, when she poked fun at Bristol Palin’s weight.”

Comedian. That’s a laugh, right there. That ugly bitch should be working the Gay clubs in SF, putting down America, where her REAL act will be popular and her real following is. What the hell is wrong with the USO? someone needs to be fired for putting her dumb ass in front of the very troops that you know she despises.
