Kathy Griffin calls Bristol Palin fat at USO event, and soldiers boo her By Laura Donovan - The Daily Caller 11:06 AM 12/06/2010 ADVERTISEMENT
Comedian Kathy Griffin wasn’t so popular with the troops during her USO Diva’s Salute stand-up act on Sunday, when she poked fun at Bristol Palin’s weight.
“[Bristol Palin] is the only contestant in the history of ["Dancing with the Stars"] to actually gain weight.”
Following a chorus of boos, Griffin went on to say, “No, come on, come on. She gained, like, 30 pounds a week. I swear to God, it was fantastic. She’s like the white ‘Precious,’” referring to the obese African-American character in the eponymous 2009 film.
When the booing continued, Griffin shouted, “You can boo louder than that! Come on, boo me! I love it! I love it! War is Hell, war is Hell!”
This isn’t the first shot Griffin has taken at the Palin family. In 2009, Griffin made jokes about Sarah Palin’s infant Trig, who was born with Down Syndrome. Kathy Griffin justified calling Trig Palin a “retard baby” via Twitter:

Thanks for the heads up. Fired off a hot memo to USO...no more checks until they publicly condemn Griffin.
Thanks for the ping.
It sounds like she hates the troops too ... USO needs to find better...
Yes they do...
I also have given donations to the USO....I just contacted them to express my disappointment with their hiring Griffin.
Thanks for poting the link.
God bless our military for booing this nasty, catty cow! The woman is not funny..just a bitter old liberal hag!
Good for you - that’s how we need to fight back. Thanks.
