Kathy Griffin Booed By Troops After Calling Bristol Palin Fat At USO Event
As NewsBusters reported Sunday, vulgarian Kathy Griffin called Bristol Palin fat during her opening monologue of the USO's Divas Salute to the Troops broadcast on VH1.
New footage shows the potty-mouthed comedienne was lustily booed by troops in attendance (video follows with transcript and commentary):
KATHY GRIFFIN: Let’s talk about “Dancing with the Stars.” “Dancing with the Stars.” Yes. Yes. We’re going to talk about, and we got two words: Bristol Palin. Yeah, that’s right. Come on. Come on. You’re gonna like this. She’s the only contestant in the history of the show to actually gain weight.
(BOOS)
No, come on, come on. She gained like 30 pounds a week, I swear to God, it was fantastic. She’s like the white Precious.
(BOOS)
You can boo louder than that. Come on, boo me. I love it. I love it. War is hell, war is hell.
What a creature.
How did the USO and VH1 agree to let this thing host such an event?

Foul mouthed wench needs to be put in her place. Some one should have given her the "gong" and dragged her a$$ off with a big hook.

Ok I am dating myself here but when I was a kid there was this gal named Norma. Built like a brick house!! She was never called fat. “BOMBSHELL was coined to describe her.” She stared in a lot of films and kicked off a magazine that is still around today. Her and other women of the time had something called a figure. Today’s stars have a shape but this man does not like the twig shape. As Sir Mix-a-lot said I LIKE BIG BUTTS!!!! Fat is Fat but a woman with curves in a red dress will cause car accidents.

What a loser this woman is. Does she not realize, that even those troops who may not like Sarah Palin, have respect for the fact that Bristol's brother Track served in the military? In harms way I believe. For that reason alone Bristol, as a member of a military family, should be off limits to scum like Griffen who has done nothing to serve her country.
Why, DoD?

Why would you even schedule this piece of shiite bitch to perform for our troops? Did The One request this Himself? Someone in the DoD needs their ass kicked for even paying airfare and expenses for this no-talent slut to travel to our troops.
While I'm at it, how much duct tape did it take to squeeze those "little-boy boobs" close enough together for the trollop to actually have a cleavage?
I'm betting that she could show up on a ship that had been at sea for six months and not give herself away for free. OK, maybe that's a stretch, but the troops would not be gentle!
Why was she even there?
Oh, no. Not again

Please, no Kathy Griffin until at least after lunch - well after lunch.

Too bad the troops weren't free to boo when O gave his little pep talk.
Because instead of the obviously forced "hoo ahs", had the troops had their druthers and no orders from their superiors, I'm sure we'd have heard "boos" for Obama as well.
I saw a thing a while back about Griffin going to Iraq. She was doing it to further her career, had no understanding of people serving there, her jokes fell flat, and the mortars dropped her to the floor writhing in terror (she was staying in one of Saddam's castles). The only reason she's doing the USO tour is as a resume builder, nothing more.

I've been to these shows when a popular president showed and the troops are tearing the house down! I watched The One's speech, and the polite applause was "deafening." A few people cheered their service when it was mentioned. Poor Coasties had to shout their own service when Dumbo forgot that they also serve. "Ahhh, did somebody say Coast Guard, yo?"
Overall, I would say that was as restrained a reception as I have ever seen by our troops in combat. They usually appreciate the CinC showing up. Not so much this time.
He even talks down to them! "Going of OFFENSE! Tired of playing DEFENSE. Ahhh..."
This ain't some pickup "hoops" game, yo? The troops know it, but rat bastard Facist SOB doesn't.
He truly makes me retch.

"Precious" was a movie done a year or two ago, that starred a 400 lb. black teenage girl. Look it up on Wiki, that's all I know about it.

So this hag was including a back-handed slap at a black girl while smearing Bristol? Now that is a classic liberal twofer.

Galvanic. I made this same point less succinctly the other night. It begs the question, knowing who her core audience is and why she appeals to them,, why would the USO book this woman to perform in front of a mostly conservative military audience? Did they actually think that a largely conservative male military audience would appreciate the "humor"of some catty *itch pointlessly dishing dirt on celebrities? Who'd they follow her with, Perez Hilton?

I'd like to know why the USO agreed to broadcast it's show on VH1 of all stations...99.9% of the stuff that VH1 broadcasts is total crap, and I don't understand why the USO is dealing with them in any circumstance.
As for the troops booing Griffin for her rant against Bristol, good for them. Griffin seems to have forgotten that her audience was not a bunch of braindead, idiot lefties, which is who she usually attracts. What Griffin and her ilk don't understand is that Sarah Palin is generally well thought of by the military, and by association, so is her family. Of course, dumba$$es like Griffin don't see or understand this, so they make stupid jokes and comments like she did, and end up getting booed for it...I love it.

She must still be bitter that her career is on the skids, and her so-called 'christmas' album flopped last holiday season. No one's even using her waste of CD plastic as a coaster.

The Only people that care to keep the Bristol Palin DTWS conspiracy story going seem to be Keith Olbermann, Margaret Cho, Kathy Griffin and Ed Schultz. Irony: 2 guys who could actually crack the ice at a skating rink, and 2 broads that can't get a man. Actually, I think Bristol needs to take out a restraining order on Olbsession.
Who booked HER for the USO anyway?

Why book someone who is so far to the left that China looks like the good guy and the USA is always the evil empire for a USO show?
She HAD to know they wouldn't like that comment.
I just wish everyone would have gotten up and walked out on her.
Curious how the rest of her 'act' went.
She's an idiot.
