OK it's the first post of 2009! Let’s tackle something really substantive. The Israeli war? Naaa. The Blago appointment? Naaa. P-E Obama’s first 100 day agenda? Naaa. What then? We have to know.
Well it turns out that CNN has finally come across a “hard news woman.” Kathy Griffin joined Anderson Cooper for the Times Square ball drop on New Year’s. Yes that Kathy Griffin. The one who mocked Jesus when accepting some low rent award from her low rent peers who ever increasingly get together to give one another awards. It’s sort of like the euchre club getting together every other month and issuing a pot to high scorer and last loner of the night. A husband and wife contribute $4 to the pots so the most you stand to win is $28. That’s enough to allow you to throw an extra $5 on the church plate, and pick up a dozen doughnuts and a cup coffee on the way home from church Sunday morning. But the winner always celebrates as if they’ve just won the lottery.
Well this Griffin chick wins some minor award, most hilarious of the 50 least funny people in America or something of that nature. So she take her 15 second acceptance speech to mock Jesus, “A lot of people get up here and thank Jesus for these awards. Well, Jesus didn’t have anything to with it. This award is my new god,” or words to that effect. Hey she’s right. Jesus probably didn’t inspire any of her stuff or it’d be funny.
So CNN snaps the unfunny Griffin up to do comedy on New Year’s Eve. Surprise! They find out she’s not funny. Not only is she not funny she makes up for the lack of laughs by being vulgar. Which passes as a comedy routine these days I guess.
Griffin tells some heckler in the crowd that she’s doesn’t come into his house and knock the…ah…er…mmmm Richard out of his mouth. So you have a twofer here. You get vulgarity plus a bit of gay bashing. But Griffin being a P-E Obama supporter the gay aspects of this are sure to go away and we’ll be left with just the vulgarity which will be explained away by with a, “only up tight conservatives didn’t think it was funny. Worse they want to silence me by taking away my first amendment rights.”
Way to take the high road CNN. This move is sure to get you back on top of the cable news ratings.

Where are the mainstream comedians? Bill Cosby? No, he gives speeches on self-reliance so is out of the mainstream. Dennis Miller? No, he appears on Fox from time to time. Jeff Foxworthy? No, he is from the south. To see a live comedy show that the whole family can watch we will have to travel to a dark and dank non-smoking half bingo hall/half strip bar across the tracks where you have to pay someone to watch your car. Watch for me on the next episode of the Antique Road Show. I am just taking myself. I am sure I will be poked, prodded, and given an unbeleivable value to be insured.
Griffin the Antique....and the Real Griffin by the way.
