Kathy Griffin announced her New Year’s resolution to continue a verbal assault on the Palin family. Only in 2011, the comedian said she intends to target Sarah Palin’s 16-year-old daughter, Willow.
"I've already gone for Sarah, Todd and Bristol obviously," Griffin told The Hollywood Reporter. "But I think it's Willow's year to go down. In 2011, I want to offend a new Palin.”
Could Griffin be switching to a younger, easier Palin target following her Bristol backfire in December?
On a special that aired Dec. 5, Kathy Griffin was jeered by the audience after attacking Bristol Palin for being “fat” while hosting the VH1 Divas “Salute to the Troops.” Griffin called the 20-year-old to “the white Precious,” based on Gabourey Sidibe’s role as an obese and abused teen mother in the 2009 Lee Daniels drama.
The incident provoked widespread criticism. “Calling Bristol Palin fat is inappropriate and distasteful, even under the guise of humor,” body image expert and author of “Love Your Body Love Your Life,” Sarah Maria told Pop Tarts at the time. “The problem is that people, and particularly young people, easily absorb the ideas, beliefs, and attitudes that are presented to them."
Bristol Palin herself responded, telling Pop Tarts that “The audience's reaction to this ‘comedian’ spoke volumes, and the decent people I know would probably have booed her, too.”
Hollywood publicist Angie Meyer says Griffin’s targeting of Willow, a minor, is even worse.
“To attack a young girl solely because of her last name seems rather contradictory of the types of justice she champions for others,”

Of course it's tasteless,immoral and classless...but the left loves it.
Something tells me Willow, if confronted, could handle the skank.
if they’re claiming that “Willow Palin is fari game” is true, doesn’t that mean that mahalia and sasha are also fair game?
I get the impression that Kathy Griffin has been “going too far” since she was about 12.
Stop giving this whore Griffin the publicity she craves in making jokes like this.
She is also the Arby’s spokesperson
I knew there was a good reason not to go to Arby’s.
Then, one could, Kathy Griffin is giving her audience what it wants, no?
And yes, I've found her tasteless for years, and now add
"despicable" to the list for her to go after a 16 year old, that as
far as I know, hasn't done any thing to merit being an object of
fodder for a so-called comedienne.
I was in b-school when Clinton took office, and I was shocked at
how catty the women were about (then 14yo?) Chelsea Clinton.
Two questions. Who the hell is this Griffin person? And why does anyone give a damn what she thinks?
Anyone seen Griffin without her makeup? Good Lord! She looks twenty years older than she really is.
She has learned what thousands of “journalists” have learned, which is that if you want to be noticed, stick “Palin” in the headline. People are drawn to all things Palin who would never click to find out what a Kathy Griffin thinks.
Stupid no-talent liberals like Griffin, Bill Maher, Jeanine Garafalo, are just smart enough to know that they would be getting ZERO PERCENT TV face time unless they spout their liberal nonsense.
what did Willow do to deserve being made the butt of public crude jokes?
being born Palin
Why should Griffin stop there, there are still 10 yr old Piper and 1 yr old Trig... go for it Kath, show us what real D-listers are made of
I seem to recall that a music reviewer once referred to Karen Carpenter as "Richard's chubby sister", in print.
About 10 years later, she was dead from anorexia nervosa.
Words mean things. What's more to the point, words mean things to people. Don't forget it.
Kathy Griffin is doing EVERYTHING possible to earn ‘street cred’ with the leftist Hollywood elite crowd by attacking a teen girl whose mother is a leading conservative.
Kathy Griffin has no idea that the elite crowd sees her as nothing more than an useful idiot and a court jester for their amusement.
Griffin’s career is pretty much finished as far as Hollywood is concerned and she doesn’t even know it.
