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 Palin’s daughter.After this latest smear at one of Sarah Palin's children wouldn't it be fair if some comedian came out and did a spot on how ugly Kathy Griffith is? I mean, it's just jokes, right?
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 Johnston’s attending the Teen Choice Awards as Griffin’s 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.)

I never liked Kathy Griffith's "jokes". People who joke are usually more unatractive than the person they "joke about". Such as Kathy Griffith& the horrible Don Rickles". Look in a mirror, you may not have a weight problem, however YOU ARE A VICIOUS MOUTH, not have ARE.
