Kathy Griffin's Newest Palin to Pounce On? Willow, 16

By Rob Shuter Posted Jan 5th 2011 04:41AM

You would think that after the backlash Kathy Griffin received for making fun of Bristol Palin's weight, the red-headed comedienne would have learned her lesson. Well, think again. Kathy has her eye set on a new Palin to make fun off. "I think it's Willow's year to go down," Griffin snarked to The Hollywood Reporter. "In 2011, I want to offend a new Palin."

With her being only 16, Willow would seem to be a target fraught with disadvantages, but that doesn't matter to Kathy.

"[She] genuinely can't stand any of the Palin family," a friend of Kathy's tells me. "Yet, the real reason she won't leave them alone is she loves all the headlines she gets whenever she attacks them."

What would it take to pry Kathy's claws from the Palin family? My source thinks that if people would just doggone stop caring about the Palins, then Kathy would be the first to move on and "find another victim."

Sure, Kathy does seem to change her target as often as Sarah winks to her fans, but what makes the Palin family different from the other celebrities she drills is that they're. Not. Going. Anywhere.

"No one is more surprised than Kathy that we still care about this family," an insider tells me. "For a while it was Jessica Simpson's weight, Heidi Montag's plastic surgery or 'The Real Housewives' that had us all buzzing. But they have all come and gone."

Let's face it folks, the Palins are in the news daily, and Kathy is way too smart a woman to miss an opportunity to cause trouble. So watch out Willow, sources tell me that what Kathy has planned for you will make the comments about your older sister look like poetry.

This month's early under-the-radar campaigning by potential Republican challengers to President Barack Obama is a reminder of something too easily forgotten: Running for president is harder than it looks, and Obama ultimately will stand against a flesh-and-blood nominee certain to make mistakes along the way.

Well Kathy is a lot more talented than you and "The Grizzlie Family" is prime fodder. Sarah has made fun of a lot of people including OUR president. She is also hypocritical, a pariah to her party and she is a quitter. She also blames everything and everyone for her problems but not once has taken responsibility for her lies or even bothered to apologize to the people of Alaska she abandoned because "it is too hard and I want to be with my family". But that hasn't stopped her from doing reality TV, the lowest form of entertainment next to porn and watching corn grow. She deserves all she has gotten from KG and Karl Rove and that is how the ball bounces. LOL

By Cutie

Griffin's schtick is to make fun of everyone she meets if they are celebrities. Any conversation is laid out to her audience. She chased Barbara Walters into a ladies room. It goes to show you that anyone with absolutely no talents can make a living if you have an angle, Griffin's angle is to make people look stupid. The only good thing about her is her mother.

By Lorelei DeVito

I wish KG would truly go the way of the nobody's, she could lead the pack. I hope she doesn't have any children because if she did they would be the ones to be bullied and nobody deserves that even the kids of that evil b,,,,tch.

AMEN!

Shameless, hateful woman.

By Mike

Saying offensive things about others for the sake of personal gain is no way to live your life.

Nobody likes creepy Willow Palin, except Aileen Wournos look-alikes and Ted Bundy clones.

I have no problem with Kathy Griffin - she has a right to say whatever she wishes. But I have a right to avoid purchasing ANYTHING that is advertised on a program she is appearing on. You agree?

By bj

what a sad bunch you are when you think attacking a 16 year old girl is funny. Kathy is sad and ugly. She used to be funny a long time ago, now she's just mean spirited and ugly. I think that botox is sinking into her brain. If you people don't like the Palins then why do you hang on everything they do and say. Change the channel and shut up. I think her girls are beautiful, which would explain why all the homely women don't like them.

By JD

I agree! This woman is not funny or talented at all. Nothing she says is funny, she is just rude nasty and insulting, that is not funny, that is no talent, and her constant reference to gays being her fans is so condecending that is also rude and insulting. She makes me ill, I refuse to watch anything she is involved with.

By smokexx14

exactly--she's a putrid being in her own right

By Jack

SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST DUMB AND WHY WASTE OUR TIME ON STUPID FOLLISH PEOPLE,THAT REALLY HAVE NOTHING SMART OR IMPORTANT TO SAY,WHY DO WE MAKE THESE PEOPLE,SAEEM MORE IMPORTANT THEN THEY ARE. STOP WASTING MY TIME WITH SUCH LIES AND NONSENSE.

By Sadie

I don't like the Palins and wish they would all fade back into obscurity, but Kathy Griffin is just mean. There's a simple word for her: Bully. I wish she would just stop it.

By jen

Carlton,(of course you're named is Carlton) you know nothing of Kathy's fans and since you will never have any just go back to you're pathetic existence.
