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:

One thing the USO won’t be getting is another check from me.
That was Carrot Top, who is a man (I think). He looks like Griffin.
Kathy Griffin insults her ex-boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend’s mother.
Kathy, you’ve officially become an urban rumor.
Carrot Top would be insulted to the max for being confused with skank Kathy Griffin.
She's the girl from school who had to put out in order to get any attention.
So THAT’S who was voting for Bristol on DWTS? LOL The military.

Yes, it strikes me of the F-T-A (F*** The Army) communists (like Jane Fond and Donald Sutherland) infitrating the USO to continue their anti-war protests in the very structure they seek to stir up dissent within.
To her steady customers she's "Hoover."
Pics were just posted of griffins new “bikini” body. Utterly nasty...loose hanging skin.
We need to give the USO an earful (call, write, facebook).
Like it’s not hard enough for our troops - what JERKS! You know this is intentional. Obama and his cronies hate our military.
It's one way to rally the troops. Get them fightin' mad.
I read through the whole thread to see if anyone remembered that she was slutting with Levi. I KNEW you would. Disgusting piece of recycled trash.
Anyone still wonder why democrats don’t want soldiers voting!
Griffen or Levi?
Invite Britney Spears. Spears is a Republican and is still beautiful.

GOP House Whip Raises Cash At Britney Spears’ Concert
Indeed, sources tell the Sleuth that House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) held a fundraiser last night at the pop star’s “Circus” tour concert at the Verizon Center,
My first thought is "WHAT is Kathy Griffin?" Truth be told, she is one of a large number of alleged comedians on the circuit nowadays who are Don Rickles-wannabees, but haven't a clue how he did it or why it worked for him.
I saw Mr. Rickles a number of times and had the pleasure to meet him once. As abrasive and insulting as he could be in his "act", that's all it was. One of his trademarks (little known) was that he had a standing order with the wait staff anywhere he worked that if he started ragging on someone in the audience, their next round of drinks was ON HIM. This I know from witnessing it first hand.
Compare this to Griffin and other comedians who insult the audience then shrug and give you a "hey, it's a comedy show, whaddya want from me?" attitude when they cut too deep. There are a few big-time comedians that I will never again see live or in any other venue (movies, TV, etc.) because of this attitude.
