Kathy Griffin's photo — Page 5

"So tell me why he should have gotten fired but Kathy Griffin should have kept her CNN job."

Donald Trump refused to rent apartments to black people and was accused of rape and sexual assault by numerous women. Now he's the President of the United States. So tell me why he should have that job and Kathy Griffin shouldn't have hers for a picture.

You can deflect and bring up some other idiot who lost their job, but that's only because you have a hard time defending the person currently in the Oval Office.

Sorry Lyle never noticed your genius, "blow your load".

All political feelings aside, all feelings about Kathy Griffin aside, my first initial reaction to the image is: "ewe ...well that's pretty gross."

I'm not offended by it, and I do agree with what the image is trying to say (even if its pretty blunt), but Certainly there has to be smarter, funnier, more effective ways to air your feelings about the current administration than by brandishing a bloody 'severed' prosthetic head of a current president.

She has Gloria Allred egging her on. What do you expect? Anywhere there is a woman and a camera that's where you will find Gloria.

This thread goes so good with popcorn and wine. Yum!

Bloom's just taking over the family business. They're the same person with the same need to get their face in front of a camera as much as humanly possible. But Kathy's no babe in the woods either. She knows exactly what she's doing.

"Donald Trump refused to rent apartments to black people and was accused of rape and sexual assault by numerous women. Now he's the President of the United States. So tell me why he should have that job and Kathy Griffin shouldn't have hers for a picture. "

Quite simple, whether we like it or not the American people voted for Donald Trump fully aware of his past.

"We are busy talking about this but not watching Trump threatening Executive Privilege to keep Comey from testifying."

Nah...we multitask, snafu. That's the topic of the day on another message board that I frequent.

I have been watching portions of her press conference on Inside Edition. etc. I find her playing the victim, kind of pathetic. She made the decision to go with the "joke". It could have gone either way for her and unfortunately for her went the negative route. She had to know that Trump is the type not to let a negative remark fly by without retaliation. She will survive as others have mentioned. She may even sell more tickets to her shows. But she is hardly a victim.

Luscious, I don't know if I agree. The way I interpret the word victim, it's the one who did nothing wrong. She' s free to express herself, but then she has to deal with the reaction.

Death threats, and bullying are inexcusable. But this stunt is indicative of Kathy's track-record and her MO.

Kathy's previous kerfuffles, mainly celebrity feuds and bans from television talk shows, like The View (that she's always used as fodder for her sometimes hilarious, sometimes not, stand-up) have always seemed rather tame to me, but now she's joined the likes of Ted Danson in blackface at the 1993 Friars Club Roast of Whoopi Goldberg (which was Whoopi's idea), Rosanne Barr mock-singing the National Anthem, and Kramer's racist rant at the Laugh Factory.

Their careers never quite recovered.

I don't agree with the bullying or death threats. Like I said, inexcusable, and she has apologized. But on some level, as a self proclaimed "media whore," "****-stirrer," and "whistle blower," (all terms she's used to describe herself) Kathy is enjoying this attention and has elicited the exact results she wanted.

It seems these traits have been Ms. Griffin's greatest assets, but the ones that always seem to land her in hot water as well.

Consequently, I didn't buy those tears at that press conference for one second. "He broke me.....(dramatic pause pause pause, look up)....he broke me." Tears!

lol. Come on Kathy. Really girl?

In the age of "all press is good press" Kathy is "hot" again, and I can't help but wonder if she's using this to cook up a lucrative netflix deal.

And yea, I'll watch!!

IMO, If the punishment doesn't fit the crime, then you're the victim. If you intentionally drive the wrong way down a one way street and are pulled over by a police officer, and you apologize for making the mistake, and are still given a ticket...then OK. You have to pay for your mistake. But if said police officer verbally abuses you, roughs you up, and arrests you for being belligerent, or whatever, then you're the victim. She made a mistake. She admitted it and apologized for it. End of story. When did we become such a judgmental and unforgiving society? Jeesh... as if everyone doesn't make a bad decision or do the wrong thing from time to time. There but for the grace of God go I. (I agree with the sentiment even though I'm an atheist.)

Luscious, yeah, I understand your analogy but I don't think it's all cut and dry like that. Kathy Griffin thrives on being a verbal bully and getting attention for it. It's hard to see her as a victim. Public apologies from celebrities are usually advised by said celeb's staff. Anyway, i hardly see them as sincere.

I may be biased in that I never liked the woman anyway.
