Kathy Griffin to Play Palin-esque Tea Party Candidate on 'Glee'
This is going to be messy. Kathy Griffin, Hollywood's favorite D-list vulgarian, will apparently be playing a Tea Party candidate loosely modeled on Sarah Palin in an upcoming episode of Fox's "Glee", according to The Hollywood Reporter.
What could go wrong?
Griffin discovered not so long ago that bashing Palin and her family can help prop up her sagging career - without controversy, Americans might just be asking, "Kathy who?" After this gig, though, it will be sheer comedy simply to see the lengths Griffin will go to mock the former governor.
Here are the few details THR reported over the weekend:
TV Guide confirmed that Griffin will play Tammy Jean, a conservative home-schooling Tea Party candidate rumored to be based on Sarah Palin, while Devine will take on the role of a stripper-turned-nun named Sister Mary Constance.
Griffin took to Twitter to announce the news. When asked if she would be appearing on the hit show she replied, "So excited!! It's true!!"
This is the same Kathy Griffin who said she would "like to push Sarah Palin down the stairs" and was heartily booed at a USO event after mocking Palin's daughter Bristol.
Griffin's lowlights also include calling Sen. Scott Brown's daughters prostitutes, and telling both Jesus Christ and "View" host Elizabeth Hasselbeck to "suck it."
In short, Griffin's appearance will be exactly what you'd expect from a Palin impersonator on "Glee".

Palin fatigue
Submitted by tombaker on Mon, 02/21/2011 - 7:54pm.
I am pretty sick of the need to defend the honor of Palin, or any concern over what a TV show does to mock very very public figures.
Palin dishes out plenty of mocking of liberals, which just because I think it may be more true than not, does not mean the other side is prohibited. I personally find Palin’s sing songeee “I am just one of the working moms” style tiresome....is it ripe for satire? You betcha!
If Palin has enough good ideas to be President, she would still be Governor of Alaska working those ideas.
If Palin’s reasons for not being able to continue as Governor because the job was now too difficult because of the increased scrutiny….then she could never handle being President, because the scrutiny to the President would be worse.
Palin's needing to escape being Governor, is simply an indication of her skills, and skills are what are needed at this time.

It's a shame the attacks on Palin have given you Palin fatigue.
It wasn't the scrutiny that caused Palin to resign as gov, it was having to fight and pay for legal challenges while working as governor. She knew she was going to be bankrupt and out of the office fighting in court.

Submitted by tombaker on Mon, 02/21/2011 - 8:05pm.
I don't buy the legal challenges angle, as Governor she is protected in her job duties, as acting as a Public offical, by the state of Alaska.
Legal challenges to her campaign for VP are the same regardless of her current office.
If it was a matter of restricting disclosures...I don't see the need.
Given her ablity to sell books, which she could have done in office, the implications of going bankrupt are pretty thin. Plus she could have stood her ground and fought against undue acts.
It remains, as she could not handle this pressure as Governor, she could NEVER handle it as President. She crumbled, its a fact. I don't want an affirmative action President.

At the time, Palin didn't know how her books would sell, and she couldn't have fufilled her duties as governor and gone on book tours at the same time.
I'd say she's handling the pressure pretty well so far. Because here she is, not in any public office, and the left is still going after her nonstop.

First, if Palin "crumbled", she would have done her best to lower her profile. Does it look like Sarah Palin is trying to avoid the public eye? And in remaining as visible as she is, she had to know she would continue to be picked apart by her enemies.
Alaska needs to change their ethics laws so that the costs of frivolous charges are borne by the parties who raise them.

I realize you hate Palin with an intense passion, but you need a lesson in geography.
Juneau is a 90 minute flight to Anchorage. From Anchorage, it's three hours to Seattle, five hours to Minneapolis, and close to eight hours to Atlanta.
It takes a lot of time, effort, and hassle to get the hell out of AK.
Hence, this is more than likely the reason she was due to resign from office.
This coming from someone who isn't sold on her!
And I hate to burst your bubble, but she was not an affirmative action governor by a long shot. In some regard I could argue that we have an affirmative action President right this second.

If Palin had continued as
Submitted by rimsky on Mon, 02/21/2011 - 8:10pm.
If Palin had continued as Governor she would have been financially destroyed because she would be spending all her time defending herself in court over frivolous, trumped up lawsuits designed to do nothing more than destroy her character and her career. She knew that no matter what choice she made, to stay in office or resign, there would be criticism. And of course, it's much more than just criticism, it's pure hate. IMO she made the only choice she could make and not be destroyed financially. And yes, she's parlayed it into being famous and perhaps even rich. So what?
I think she has an outside chance of winning a Presidential election and I think she could be a good POTUS, but I hope she doesn't even run. Sarah Palin is a much better political force outside of office. I'm glad we have her as a spokesperson who talks tough and doesn't take prisoners.
If anyone bothered to pay attention...

...she resigned the office to limit the legal cost that the Dumbocrat/Libturds were going to inflict on the Alaskan people (taxes); for those who state differently, they are ignorant, liberal fools.
oTr - how about a bit of critical thinking vs just a fanboy
Submitted by tombaker on Tue, 02/22/2011 - 5:22am.
oTr:
1. Palin crumbled, quit, ran away, could not complete, stopped trying, got a note from her hubbie to be allowed to go home... if it walks like a duck it is a duck. She quit. She was elected to do a job, and she could not finish. Was it because she was a woman? Who cares.... she could not finsh.
2. She is not going to have it any easier in any other elected office, and its fair to say the pressure of President would only unravel her faster. If she can not hack the heat of being governor of the tiny state of Alaska, there is no question that she would fail as President. As a fair predictor the electorate should look at her experience as Governor, and rightfully conclude that since she could not complete her term, she would fail in any greater office she would aspire to.
3. Palin had 1.25 Million from the publisher of her book as a signing retainer, BEFORE she quit, she was only going to get more money....at the time she resigned, she said she had legal bills of 500K, even if she has to pay those out of her own pocket, she is still over 625K ahead of the game. In the system of the legal attacks, she only made out greater monetarily.
4. Palin's usage of "don't retreat, reload" is politically stupid. She was stupid for using it, and then trotting out and showing herself as hunting on her reality show. Of course this was going to get used against her, shame on a politican for not having a clue this would happen. Geez even the congresswoman that was shot was calling her out on it at the time. Do I need a woman so stupid to making statements that will so easily be misused by others. Heck no. I don't want a baby in the woods, who can not stop her mouth from causing everyone else to get in trouble. I guess others want to defend her honor, OHHH she can talk about guns, and this and that, but I just see a fool set herself and her party up for ridicule. So yes some did wrongfully associate her with the shootings.....but heck, it was clear as day one that her stupid banter would be used against her. I don't need to defend stupidity.
5. Palin is just a Foxnews pundit....she won't go on other networks. I can be a pundit too. We ottta do this, we otta do that. But the problem is an CEO or someone in an executive office, has to do things.
6. Palin CUT and RAN from being governor.....she crumbled, she took an elected executive postion and was not able to lead.
I am looking for skills and ablity, I want a conservative with a record of accomplishment. Palin could not complete being governor, it's a failure to serve out the term. oTr don't try and tell me that she was able to complete being governor. And don't spew hogwash as to why the poor Sarah was so stressed out about legal bills......she made over 5 million on that book, and had 1.25 already in the bank when she quit.
Oh and as far as her ablities out of office? How is her darling Christine O'Donnell working out for you in Delaware? Oh yeah she cost the majority for the Republicans....dang.
There are better Republicans than Palin, sure I think she is better than Obama, but most of the country won't and Palin vs Obama is a win for Obama by anyone with a clue. I don't think Republicans should hook up with a Political loser like Palin, you see the Democrats trumpeting John Kerry after he lost?
Don't retreat, reload....You betcha (that is gonna get used against you....Palin you twit)
No I don't hate Palin, she is just a broken down car....I would love to spend the time to work with her, get her all fixed up. but hell, why bother....other cars are in better shape, and don't have the terrible brand name......
But hey I was making excuses for her too.....I was doing it all....but I have decided that this dog don't hunt.

It bogus to say it was financial....she already had the money from the book in line.
Sarah could not get the job done as Governor of Alaska, so its pretty easy to see she could not cut it as President. She quit her job as Governor, cut and ran. Again I want skills in the Executive office....not sing sony folksy BS about how we otta do this or that.

tombaker, can you remind me three million more times about how much you hate Sarah Palin because she is a stupid quitter?
Your employer is clearly the Department of Redundancy Department, but unfortunately being repetitive does nothing to help your points.
That is a lousy excuse. Many politicians quit their posts and were successful elsewhere in different political capacities.
The book deal you whine about would have only caused her more grief. Don't believe me? Ask Newt G_______ sometime about his book deal from 1995 when he was speaker.
And again, you show your elitist snobbery. Fine, AK is small in population and that disqualifies the evil, stupid, quitter Sarah Palin, in your world. Oddly, I never heard a PEEP about that in 2004 when Howard Dean was in the primaries - and he was a governor from a state that is not only geographically small, but a state with a population comparable to AK!
Just admit you hate Sarah Palin because you are an elitist snob, and in all likelyhood, a misogynist.
By the way, thanks for complementing me on my screen name. I'm touched. Deeply. :o)

Is there any term or phrase used by a Republican that won't be used against them? Why do you think the MSM is so focused on who the GOP candidate in 2012 will be, so they can start tearing them down now, whoever they are. Palin has stood up quite nicely to these attacks against her and family. There is no other politician in our country in the past 30 years that has faced what she has.

We agree in the double standard....according to the MSM, Former Secretary of State Rice, was neither a woman or black.
The reload comment was foolish because it was done within the context of gun owners asserting their rights to carry. If you were watching the insane Chris Matthews you could see him setting up the scenerio of a gunner who would then be blamed on Palin. Yes its all BS, but its Politics too, and Palin is a newbie.
My point is that Palin used language that was ripe to be exploited against her and her party. Her inexperience put her reputation and the tea party a step down. I wiser person qualified for Executive office would not have such mistakes and giving the other side openings.
The MSM are going after Romney hard. They go after him because he is a Mormon....not that they have any issue with it.....but as they say the Southern Evanglicals will hate him. Religion Baiters. And that he was successful in Mass as Governor. I have not studied it but I don't hear a ton of examples being cited of the horrors of the Mass health care system.
Biden is a plaguarizer....that stepped him down from the Presidential race once.
Yes Palin is holding up well, she is making money, and has an audience....but her record as Governor of Alaska speaks volumes....she could not handle the pressure of Executive office, she had to resign....she is doing very well now as someone without duties or deliveriables that comments on society.....as does Dear Abby.

tombaker, say three million more times that the evil, stupid Sarah Palin couldn't handle the pressure of executive office and that she had to resign.
She had to resign because being the governor of a state with a 90 minute flight time from its capital to its major population center (not even counting how much time it takes to fly from there to the closest portion of the lower 48) made things problematic for her in the national spotlight. (Well, that's just my opinion, anyways.)
But no matter. She could be governor of AK right now and you'd still be whining and complaining.
You just need to admit you are a misogynist, and an elitist snob, and this is why you hate Sarah Palin. Being redundant isn't helping your cause at all.

I've seen this movie before. Only in the version I last saw, Ross Perot was the shrieking populist on the stage.
Not to mention that running a business is a teensy bit different from running an organization which is best suited for killing people. When the Trump properties make less money, people get smaller bonuses. When Germany invaded Poland in 1939, it meant a teensy bit more to people in Warsaw than a tighter budget.

Are you sure about this? The comedic template specifially calls for these rolls to be Nuns turning into Strippers!

I have not seen much left wing politics this year. The Palin reference people keep talking about was one time last year. There was the gay bully storyline but that's about it.Trouble Ahead?

Agreed. If you checked out Glee's own website you'd see how many young people are posting and complaining about how the show is pushing its social and political agenda, and how many of these kids are vowing to stop watching.
What the H is Ryan Murhphy's problem? He's got a good story concept and wonderfully talented performers. Oh, that's right: He's an artiste, it's his duty to offend people.

I am a big fan of the show, but the fact Kathy Griffin is so infatuated with the Palins bother me. Oh well, I hope the show is at least funny and not just a hit piece.I hope the show is at least funny and not just a hit piece.

Now they 've got Kathy Griffin to play a Palin-esque parody.

Why shouldn't Palin bad mouth and make sarcastic remarks about the msm. Look what they do to herself and her family. Is she just supposed to sit back and take it? I think not!! The msm is so jealous of her fame and fortune they proceed to bash and terrorise her because that is all they know to do to a very popular person who doesn't agree with them.

"Glee" is a love fest for liberals and anyone who wants to bash anything conservative or Christian. This is no surprise that they would hire the likes of Kathy Griffin, the most vulgar woman on the planet, to make fun of Sarah Palin - AGAIN.
The liberals can't pass up any opportunity to make fun of Sarah Palin. They are obsessed with the Palin family. Seems that Kathy Griffin can't stop herself either. Her obsessive hatred for the Palin's is beyond anything normal.
Griffin is one sorry excuse for an entertainer.

Griffin is a true POS, which is why its very pathetic that Anderson Cooper does the New Year's event with him each year. I just wish Anderson would come out the closet already, his reporting of these Defense of Marriage stuff and Gays in the military, without disclosing that he is gay is a bit weak, yes its his business.....but the audience should understand his perspective since is a pundit.
