Comedian and self-proclaimed D-lister Kathy Griffin hosted VH1 Divas Salute the Troops which was taped for an audience of servicemen at the Marine Corps Air Station in Miramar, California, and aired last night. The ribald and unconventional comedian set the tone for the night when she joked about Bristol Palin and her supposed weight gain while competing with Dancing With The Stars. But the joke fell flat, as the military men and woman in attendance lustily booed the host for taking a shot at Sarah Palins daughter.
Ms. Griffin has used the Palin clan for her comedy material before. Last summer, while filling in for a vacationing Larry King, she had on as guest Sarah Palin grand-baby daddy Levi Johnston. This was a follow-up to Johnstons attending the Teen Choice Awards as Griffins guest the night before. She later revealed that the romantic relationship between Johnston and herself was merely a publicity ploy (duh!)
Griffin may have been guilty of misjudging her audience on this particular joke, but she went with it, even challenging the audience to boo more (which allowed her to own the failed joke.) Watch the clip from VH1 below, which includes a subject-changing introduction of Jersey Shores Snooki and Mike The Situation Sorrento.
Kathy’s public behavior suggests there’s no sexual connection in private. She’s all show and no go.
Hope my wife gets that fat.
lol
More like Margaret Cho would offer a ring.
Kathy Griffin is a skank.
Semper fidelis,

You have to be a no talent liberal hack to be called a comedian today. Two other major qualities are, ignorance and a face as ugly as a Tarantula. Just look at Hideous Goldberg and Joy Blowhard.
I shook my head when I saw the ad saying she was going to host “Salute to the Troops.”
if you have an erection for more than four hours after taking Viagra don’t call a doctor just look at a picture of Kathy Griffin’s face
Put it this way. There isn’t one of the troops that is going to salute Kathy Griffen back in her “Salute to the Troops,” and I mean either a voluntary or an involuntary salute . . . if you get my drift. She’s ugly.
Darn, does it do any good anymore to say I did a search?
Sometimes it works for me, other times not..sorry!
“... unconventional comedian...”
As in “not funny”.
It’s becaus Hollywood thinks it the center of the world most critters never get out of Hollywood for more than a few days,a clueless lot at best.
They the host announces that there's a special guest who's going to judge the runway: Kathy Griffin. I got up and walked out.
My wife asked, "Are you kidding me? You sat through all that and now you leave?"
Can't take that woman. At all. Not funny. Worst part of the last Muppet movie. Ick.
Day-um, what a burn! lol
I’m with you...what idiot picked HER for a “salute to the troops”?!?!
Jeez, our troops must be desperate for entertainment to assemble for Kathy Griffin.
MCAS Miramar is in the City of San Diego.
The casting couch of Pee Wee Herman.
Someone should show her “before all her plastic surgery” photos ant time she slams Bristol. At least Bristol’s beauty is natural and not store bought.
