B Word




Recently I watched CNN, formerly known as the Clinton News Network. They were interviewing Kathy Griffin. Griffin, a quasi-celebrity that has appeared on Seinfeld, Law and Order SVU and has had her own show proudly entitled The D-List. Making fun of herself for being lower on the celebrity totem poll then A-Lister's.

She has always been known for her brand of edgy comedy. This day though on the once respected news source she crossed a line by referring to Massachusetts Senator (R) Scott Brown's daughter's as prostitutes!

How is that even remotely funny? It is hack and gutter comedy at its worst. Knowing her shtick and style it was not a surprise. The reaction to that comment was though. The CNN female anchor that was co-interviewing Ms. Griffin laughed spontaneously at the classless insult hurled towards the innocent children of the Republican politician.

It is so very obvious if anything remotely close to this was said about any Democrats daughters, whether it be by Glenn Beck or Andrew Dice Clay their careers would be in jeopardy. The scrutiny that the liberal media would scorch down upon them would be relentless and heads would roll!

Griffin even had a few apologists on the ever so obnoxious morning show The View. Joy "I look like a cross between Alf and an Anteater" Bayhar said it was "just a joke." And the obese top heavy one said that the attack was more acceptable because his daughter's were adults. WHAT?
Poor Elizabeth did her best to demonize the detestable comments, but as usual on that lopsided show to no avail.

Imagine if Jeff Foxworthy or Nick Da Palo said that the Presidents daughters were prostitutes! NO ONE on the left would be laughing. Even I, being one to throw verbal hay makers would not condone that. Families should be off limits. A no talent, disgusting creature such as Kathy Griffin hitches her wagon to the stars of anyone she can gain publicity from. And it works. Sad as it is, I am talking about it. Plus when you have a face as pretty as the foam on a stagnant puddle of piss and you look like you were spawned from radioactive Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls you have to take desperate actions to remain relevant.

So in summation, any publicity is good publicity for D Lister's. See Andy Dick. But at what point will the main stream media drop the double standards and regain some journalistic integrity?

As for Kathy, this new controversy has raised her to the B-List level. The B standing for BITCH!
