uh oh Kathy Griffin just lost it on CNN: "I don't go to your job and knock the

[itsrobert]

dicks out of your mouth" To a heckler. Not to AC.

[Critters2]

1. I heard that!

:rofl:

[RepublicanElephant]

2. so i didn't imagine that?

:wow:
:popcorn:

[blogslut]

3. Quite the heckler takedown

Gotta be brutal with those disturbers or they'll take over the show. I wonder if the pearl-clutchers will report her to the FCC.

[Tarheel_Dem]

9. Well it's late, and it is cable news, so maybe she'll be okay.

:rofl:

[Bolo Boffin]

4. Who in their right mind would heckle someone like Kathy Griffin?

Dear God, the woman would tear you to shreds, put the routine in her next video, and make residuals off your humiliation for the rest of her life.

[firedupdem]

5. You are so right! Somebody was really stupid to say anything

to her! I hate I missed it!

[firedupdem]

6. Here's the youtube of Kathy! LOL!!

[Danger Mouse]

7. that sounds kind of homophobic.

[silverojo]

13. For crying out loud!!!!!!

Can't we discuss ANYTHING anymore without the word "homophobic" being thrown around? She was accusing the heckler(s) of prostituting for a living, and how do you know there weren't WOMEN heckling her, as well?

I swear, I think some people sit around just TRYING to be offended. Many vulgar insults refer to straight sex, so are those "heterophobic"? This woman is in a profession where she probably has more gay friends and associates than you do...if she were homophobic, don't you think THEY'D be the first to call her out on it?

If the issue means that much to you, why don't you do some good, and go help the people who are trying to get Prop 8 overturned in the courts, instead of sitting in front of the boob tube and whining about one lousy vulgar joke.

[Danger Mouse]

15. wow, talk about overreaction.

i just commented that it sounds kind of homophobic. i wasn't whining about anything.
:shrug:

[Maru Kitteh]

30. Bull. You got called out. Have the fortitude to own up to it.

[bridgit]

25. agreed...

[JohnnieGordon]

16. She was saying it was the guy's job

That he's a prostitute. It's not necessary to read anything more into it than that, especially coming from someone as pro-gay as Kathy.

[rvablue]

18. If there is one fact that is widely known about KG it is this, calling her homophobic is like

calling Rick Warren gay-friendly.

Some might try, but it is disingeneous.

Gay people are her biggest fan base.

[sundog]

28. this is true

[jesus_of_suburbia]

23. Not at all... It's quite funny. Dude, you need to hang out with more gays.

We have quite a sense of humor.

[cwydro]

27. Are you for real?

Do you know who you are talking about?

[seaker]

8. Not tasty but,

it is what she does...it is her job.

[lapfog_1]

10. I don't think she will be invited back next year...

which is sad because she is funny.

But the format was lame, she was trying to be funny ALL THE TIME, with rapid fire wit, a good deal of which went right over the heads of Anderson Cooper and the CNN crew (some of whom were trying to be serious "news" types... and failing at that).

Anyway, it was an odd match. Anderson laughed a little too much and a little to forced, Kathy was almost frenzied with on the spot one liners (which is a damn difficult thing to do).

Then to have that off color remark at the end...

[Hieronymus]

11. I'd much rather hear a real drag queen than a cheap imitation of one, like

Kathy Griffin.

[TTUBatfan2008]

12. That was a total smackdown...

LMFAO.

[Joe the Liberal]

14. ROFL yea I heard it.......

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I couldn't make out what the heckler said though.

[Phx_Dem]

17. ROLF. I love her. CNN could definitely use a little more Kathy

and a lot less of everyone else.

[calimary]

22. Won't happen, unfortunately. They're WAY too buttoned-down.

Fun thought, though. And they could, indeed, give us a little less A.C. And a LOT less blitzer, dobbs, milbank, and schneider (unless they start ID'ing him accurately to include his status as senior fellow with the American Enterprise Institute - therefore BIASED AS HELL). And a whole different host than the abysmally lame Larry King. They ought to bring Rosie O'Donnell in to replace him. Shake things up a little.

[grantcart]

19. and strangely in this world of living in the twilight zone it was CNN's finest moment of 2008

[itsrobert]

20. Well, it was technically 2009 when she said it

However, it was still 2008 in the Pacific Time Zone.

[bigwillq]

21. Kathy is so funny!

I think she is great! :rofl:

[ellisonz]

24. I think she's childish.

...

[bigwillq]

26. She's not for everyone's tastes (nt)

[polichick]

29. imo her schtick is to be obnoxious - but it does make me laugh.
