Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin lashed out at comedian Kathy Griffin, calling her a "50-year-old adult bully," reports The Huffington Post.

Palin is ticked off that "Glee" has cast Griffin, who has been harvesting comedy gold at the expense of the Palin family for the past two years, as a Palin-like character on an upcoming episode of the Fox show. Palin told Fox News host Jeanine Pirro she considers Griffin a "has-been."

Palin was mostly concerned that Griffin would make fun of Palin’s children.

"Kathy, pick on me, come up to Alaska and pick on me, but leave my kids alone," she said on the Pirro show.

Geez sometimes calling out someone is what you have to do. Palin can be quiet so long. Seriously could you even imagine what Sarah and her family goes through. This Kathy is a class A bitch and I think we should say it.

[Michael.SF.]

I am not sure if you are serious or being wise. But I think you will figure it out.

[OrioleFan]

Didn’t Kathy Griffin escort Levi Johnston around for a while?

[Michael.SF.]

This Kathy is a class A bitch and I think we should say it.

I think you give her too much credit. I would have chosen a word starting with the third letter of the alphabet.

At least Tina Fey had 35% of the Palin look.

When I look at Kathy Griffin, all I can think of is a reptile-like guest star from one of the Brady Bunch episodes.

The difference. Plus Palin was on SNL

First of all, Bristol is an adult, and has every right to live her life the way she sees fit. You have a problem with that, or are you like the left, and wanting to tell everyone else how to live their lives?

Secondly, Willow is a minor, and it would be a pi** poor mother who didn’t defend her child. So, if you are a parent, and didn’t defend your offspring, then, you, IMO, are a pi** poor parent.

I’m fed up with everyone bashing Sarah and her family. Maybe GWB took it, but, I’m darned well pleased that Sarah is taking off the gloves. Enough is enough from the libs, and also from those, who supposedly, are on our side!

[fight_truth_decay]

I would guess that Griffin would take on a Leftist view of a tea party type woman, not so much Palin; but then Palin just gave her 'a dare' to come to Alaska ....so Griffin will be putting on the gloves.

I just think Palin does not need this type of exposure to be taken seriously as President, in choosing to battle with a self-described D-lister, who has actually moved up the celebrity scale since those days.

You know, it’s improper to publish photographs of someone’s grandfather on Fire Island without a signed release.

"Sarah brought this on to herself and her family by overexposing them on TV and anywhere else there were cameras."

Yeah, you're right. She should have just locked them all in the basement when the press came swarming - they would have been ok down there for the past 2 years, I'm sure. I mean, who needs sunlight, right?

But then that would be sort of contrary to the exact cause of freedom that Sarah Palin espouses. I mean, after all, obama's kids are on TV regularly, Chelsea was on there all the time, even the Bush twins...but they didn't get all the death threats and tabloid character lies that the Palins get...just for the reason of being Sarah Palin's kids...not because of anything they have done.

But you're right, shame on Sarah for taking her family out in public...it's a pure travesty.

She tried to take them on a little vacation - to Hawaii; but the media and the paparazzi just couldn't leave them alone, and they had to leave.

But, by God, you're right - ol' Palin is crying to Argentina when she should just keep the doors to the pen locked and keep those little curtain climbers incarcerated while your children get to go out in public.

But at this point in time, if Sarah announced she was going back to Alaska to be a housewife, do you really think the press would leave her and her kids alone? Not hardly. Sarah Palin will be news for the rest of her life - so is she supposed to slink back into her shell, or meet the onslaught head on? She has chosen to meet it head on, kids and all. She doesn't really care about crying for Argentina or anything else...and f-u if you don't like it, is her attitude.

But have you noticed that when the Palin kids are there, SO IS SARAH. It's a family experience. I would love to have a filmed adventure to see with my parents, what wonderful memories that would be for me now that they are gone.

Why should her kids be locked away and denied opportunities and life just because Sarah has embarked on her current career choice? It's a normal, red-blooded American family with the daily problems and choices that face us all...how would the rest of us, or you, manage if you lived in a fishbowl surrounded by TV cameras and smarmy reporters 24 and 7?

Shame on Sarah Palin for wanting to be a mother and have as near a normal life as possible with her kids. What kid this day and time wouldn't want to go on TV? TV is IT...it's the defining moment from winning a new car on "The Price Is Right", to watching grizzlies fight on "Palin's Alaska". Most parents who are proud of their children want to show them off, but I'm sure Sarah doesn't have the right, right?

On second thought, maybe you should walk a mile or two in the Palin family's shoes before being so judgemental, America means freedom and Sarah Palin has the courage and fortitude to experience that freedom and the desire to keep America free so we don't have to hide our children in public for fear of what some mangy reporter might say about them.

People with courage play the hand that is dealt to them, and rather than run off and hide, Sarah Palin has give those who attack her children as good as they sent, David Letterman comes to mind.

Sarah is not asking you or anyone else to "cry" for her, she's handling her life and handling it very well. Why do you think all you lefties hate her so much, because she won't cowtow to your whims and desires, that's why.

I liked the way Palin told her to “come up to Alaska, and pick on me.” That was great.

But Palin should rise about this junk from Hollyweird and not call them names. She called Griffin, “a has-been 50-year old comedienne. Sure, it’s true, but she needs to just brush off the insults and move on, and not stoop to their level.

[Caipirabob]

Yikes, the photo in #17 reminds me of the last 5 minutes of Indiana Jones when the Nazis all melt. Looks like she was an "extra".

[reasonisfaith]

You’re 100% wrong.

Griffin attacked her children. Palin won’t let it stand, and neither would any normal parent.

Here’s another way to understand it—Palin is not taking the political approach to this. She’s not political.

That’s why we need her in the White House.

[reasonisfaith]

You’re not thinking about this very thoroughly.

You see, Palin is above taking the fake high road. (Thanks for inspiring my new tagline.)

[reasonisfaith]

I think I just pulled an Alinsky on all three of you. And on Alinsky himself.

[knews_hound]

Just so its clear who we are discussing here...



Cheers,

“You’re not thinking about this very thoroughly.”

Actually that would be you.

She could have demeaned Griffin so much better by acting like she hardly knows who Griffin is.

That would have looked more presidential (I say this because I want her to run).

[reasonisfaith]

But most people want her to run because she’s not political.

Do you realize the power of this? No, you don’t. But you will.

[webstersII]

“Do you realize the power of this? No, you don’t. But you will.”

You have no clue what you are talking about.
