Kathy Griffin: 'A Dream Come True' When Sarah Palin Fought Back

Kathy Griffin called to talk about her much-discussed cameo on 'Glee,' but before she could jump into it, the comedienne squealed, "Cher just texted me!" The showbiz icon was texting Kathy to say "break a leg" during her Broadway show and to not "embarrass me in front of all those folks" when she comes to see her. Cher! Doesn't get more A-list than that. Kathy revealed that she met Cher through her longtime pal Rosie O'Donnell, who has become something of a celebrity matchmaker, hooking up one celeb to another.
"Rosie introduced me to Bette Midler and one day called me and invited me to meet Cher," Kathy said. "I didn't want to ask for a picture. Even this big mouth knows when to shut up. But Rosie said Cher wants your number and then she called me."
But even bigger than being new best friends with Cher, Kathy debuted on 'Glee' Tuesday night, playing a Sarah Palin-esque regionals judge. "Don't you dare imply it's Sarah Palin," Kathy joked. "Although I'm sure Sarah will have the girls over tonight and watch the show with a bottle of vodka."
And how did Kathy feel when Sarah finally cracked and
fought back last week, calling the comedian a "50-year-old bully"?

"It was a dream come true," Kathy told me. "I love these celebs that still don't get it. I rolled out the red carpet, and she walked right into my act. I added two shows to my Broadway schedule because of her. I laughed when she told me to come to Alaska. Didn't she know I have not only been to Alaska, I brought Levi Johnston and went to her house, knocked on her door and left her a note?"
Kathy does admit, however, she never did get to meet the former governor. "I would wear a bullet proof vest and underpants. She would see me as a mouse. I would tell her it's nice to meet you, my name is Tina Fey."
Kathy, who came under fire for saying she was going to go after Palin's 16-year-old daughter next, told me, "When 16-year-old Willow goes on Facebook and uses the f-words, which I believe can lead to the loss of life, expect to hear from me. She's 16 and using f-words is wrong. Where did you learn it?"
Contrary to rumors out there, Kathy isn't ending her hit Bravo show 'My Life on The D-list' because of all those housewives, but rather she wanted to do something different. "I'm doing four stand-up specials in one year. That has never been done before. They haven't seen my show. My first one is called '50 and Not Pregnant.'"

Actually,you are the worm. Clearly you know nothing about the people you are talking about,because Oprah gives a lot to many people that are disadvantaged. Just because you don't like these women is no reason to insult them or President Obama who has nothing to do with any of this. Sounds to me like you are a pathetic loser that can't get a date and you've decided to lash out at the world.
Well-put Kathy and good for you! Where was Mrs. Palin when you were knocking on the door? It doesn't take that long to reload. She waits until you're back in the lower 48 to say something. I guess there's more to being a Mama Grizzly than just calling yourself one.

If you don't like Kathy~don't watch her. I happen to adore her. She is hilarious. I know y'all will have something to say about me now so go ahead and say it. Seems like that is what gets y'all off!!
So much horrible crap is going on in the world now and I thank Kathy Griffin for being there to make me laugh and forget for just a minute. You go girl. I'm still here and will continue to be.

We have a right not to care for Griffin's so-called humor. If you like it, fine. I never liked her at all and think she is totally unfunny. To each his own, I guess.
Kathy Griffin has an illness and she likes to hide behind the "They just don't get it," mantra when someone finally explodes at her. She has about the lowest self esteem on the planet. That's why her schtick is what it is. Her schtick builds her up for a short time (in her mind) but she has to keep going with it. It's her drug. Again, all the while she hides behind her phony smile while she intones "They don't get it. They really don't." We get it. And I wish she'd "get it" and disappear. The woman is boring and not at all funny. Mean, nasty, raunchy, homely, and with a chip on her shoulder the size of the USA, but not at all funny or clever. Just boring. She just doesn't get this, apparently.

Sad that Kathy Griffin has pulled you all in to spew hate. She's got everyone talking about her and trying to take each other down. It's all about MONEY and EXPOSURE for her...nothing more. What more does she have? Hmmm???
