In reply to the discussion: Kathy Griffin [View all]exboyfil
(17,862 posts)61. Sorry but I think it is entirely inappropriate for CNN
Comedy Channel perhaps if the cohost goes along with the gag. I don't watch New Year's Eve stuff, but showing such behavior on a "news" channel is shocking, and CNN should be ashamed. I know nothing about this lady (I guess she is some sort of comedian). It would be even further outrageous if she did not clear it with Anderson Cooper before hand. In that case it would be sexual harrassment. I view Anderson Cooper as a semi serious journalist (maybe one of the better out there), and I think going along with such behavior is beneath him.

She has an act, and a persona, and a set bit of schtick. Why are people still surprised by her?

If people get offended by Kathy Griffin I wonder what they would think of Daniel Tosh?

I think she's consistently hilarious and creative, and admirable in her charitable work.
