Daily Gut: CNN Guffaws as Kathy Griffin Trashes Scott Brown's Daughters

So, how about that Kathy Griffin?

Check her out here, speaking truth to power!

Okay, I’m not sure what I love most about that clip…

That Griffin – who will do just about anything for a buck – calls Scott Brown’s daughters “prostitutes.”

• The lame legal disclaimer that served only to show how cowardly her producers are.
• The hysterical cackling of CNN’s Dana Bash….
• Or the uncomfortable awkwardness of her husband John King. Yep, even his great hair can’t save him.

Anyway, Scott Brown’s office issued a statement, saying…”

People can call me any name they want, but families are off limits. I love my daughters… very much. And any parent would be proud to have them as children. Kathy griffin and Bravo ought to be ashamed of themselves.

But the truly shameful thing about all this, is that anyone would find this joke shocking. And that’s the hypocrisy behind Griffin’s painful shtick. She prides herself on riding the “D list,” because she’s so outspoken, daring, and edgy. But when you look at everything she says, you realize she’s about as edgy as a pinball. In fact, every time she opens her piehole she validates the assumptions of the people whose approval she desperately seeks.

I mean, making fun of a Republican’s kids? Using Levi Johnston to needle Sarah Palin? Swearing on CNN? Yeah, that’ll get you banned from Arianna’s cocktail parties.

I know end tables with more guts.

Look, calling Brown’s daughters hookers is classless, and it begs returning fire with a few mean-spirited comments of my own. But why would calling her a dead-faced synthetic sock puppet make matters any better? I mean, sure she’s adopted the shellacked look of a botoxed, frill-necked lizard – but that just insults all the other shellacked frill-necked lizards out there.

And what did they do to deserve that?

Not a damn thing.

So I salute you Kathy Griffin: you are truly an example of fearless fearlessness!

And if you disagree with me, you probably shop at Walmart dressed as Hitler.
