When news broke that Kathy Griffin had referred to Senator Scott Brown’s daughters as “prostitutes,” the blog-o-sphere went crazy. And to my surprise, some people actually seemed shocked that Griffin had such said such a thing.

But how can anyone be shocked at what this woman says? She has, after all, spent the better part of her forgettable career creating controversy instead of comedy because her jokes just aren’t that funny.
In other words, her show is not the called the “D-List” for nothing folks (although a “D” is a far better grade than she deserves).
What’s double trouble for Griffin is that the more she tries to be controversial by using a word like “prostitutes” to describe the innocent daughters of a sitting Senator, the more she runs the risk of having her controversial statements hit with same the applause-free “thud” that usually greets her jokes. And this is because she has overplayed her hand. She’s been trying so hard to be controversial for long that her insults are starting to come across with about the same effectiveness as the late Saddam Hussein’s threats to destroy the U.S. Military in the “mother of all battles.”
Just consider some of her more memorable attempts to get attention:
During the Bush/Cheney administration, she whined:
“[Bush] is a moron! …Cheney is evil. I’m sick of [them], impeach them, get them out! I hate them! I hate them. …They got to go!”
And at that same time, when FOX NEWS’ Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity were rising to prominence, she said:
“O’Reilly and Hannity can suck it. I hate those two idiots! Those liars.”
When she somehow received an Emmy Award for her television show in 2007, her acceptance speech was so offensive that the American public wasn’t even allowed to hear it. For those of you who are curious, suffice it to say that after making fun of people who give thanks to God upon receiving such an award, Griffin said: “Suck it, Jesus, this award is my god now!”
More recently, she accused Sarah Palin of doing sexual favors for Senator Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) during the 2008 presidential campaign and referred to Congresswoman Michele Bachmann as a “bigot” for opposing the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.”
Let’s just say that Griffin may want to pull out a dictionary and familiarize herself with the meaning of certain words before she uses them. Like the word “bigot,” which is defined as “a person who is intolerant of any different creed, belief, or opinion.” In other words, a bigot is someone like Griffin. (Therefore, don’t be surprised when she eventually says something even more obnoxious than that which she said about Brown’s daughters.)
After all, what more can we expect from a bigoted comedian who never has been able to rely solely on her jokes to keep audiences tuned in?
