Kathy Griffin’s New Excuse: Sexism and ‘Ageism’(PIC ALERT!)
newsbusters.org ^ | 3/9/2019 | G Hayes

Posted on 03/10/2019 7:39:09 AM PDT by rktman

It’s been about six months since Kathy Griffin’s last epic plea for attention. It must be time for her publicists (how’s that for a thankless job?) to their earn their retainer again. Everyone’s heard ad nauseam how she was blacklisted after her severed Trump head stunt. The world is hip to her story about Trump loosing government agents on her. And there may even be those who believe, all evidence to the contrary, that she’s funny and likable enough to have survived her attempted career suicide-by-OrangeMan.

Now Variety is earnestly indulging Griffin’s latest rationale for her unpopularity: society’s sexist, age-ist ways.

“I feel I feel a lot of this is because I’m a 58-year-old woman. I’m a successful stand-up comedian, which flies in the face of everything Trump and his folks believe.” Sure thing, Kathy. What would a tyrant be without his hatred for older career women? “My impression is they’re just offended by the audacity that I want to continue to work and be successful and I’m a self-made woman.”

So she is claiming to be blacklisted by her own industry, and somehow that is Trumps fault?
Nice circular logic there.

Reminds me of an old joke.
A homeless guy is in a grocer line behind a lady and keeps staring at her. She asked him what is he thinking. He said, ‘Your single aren’t you?’
She looks at her gloved hands so he can’t see she has no ring. In her basket is a can of cat food and some dry goods.
She says, ‘How in the world can you tell that I am single?’
He said, ‘Because you are ugly!’

I didn’t like her when she was 57,56,55,54 even 40 years old. I didn’t even like her before she was born.

From the sounds of it, this gal thinks the world revolves around her.

Someone should tell her about the sun....

How popular are aging bitter white women with the new vibrant people of color?

I’m sorry for asking such a question, because what conservative would wish to fracture the evil Democratic party?

She believes that she is “speaking truth to power”. She just isn’t prepared to pay any sort of cost for that. She expects a pat on the head.

She can’t accept the fact that she is just an extremely obnoxious person.

She tweeted the “self made” remark the other day with a pic wearing a long pinkish wig that obviously came off the rack at Dollar General.

But if she’s self-made, then she made a hot mess.

I think the whole severed head thing was for attention, so she could act like Trump was sending the goons after her and she’s a victim of tyrannical conservatism. Then she could give interviews showing how much of a hero she is by standing up to them.

Just another old white woman trying to make-believe she is a player.

Just like some of these old black people trying to do the same thing, such as Jesse Jackson, etc.

Isn’t it great to be liberated to speak such enlightened thoughts, a freedom endowed by Cher, Octavio Cortez, and other esteemed thinkers.

She is a self made woman” ‘’’’’’

She needs to back to the drawing board & start all over.

This model isn’t worth a damn.

She might want to ask Joy and Whoopsie how they managed to survive in this aging, woman hating world.
