…so I watched a bit of Kathy Griffin and Anderson “Brillo Hair” Cooper’s New Years’ Eve show on CNN.<\/p>\n

Now, Cooper is neither fish nor fowl as far as vacuous prettyboy talking heads-masquerading-as-journalists go. But I kinda felt sorry for him as I watched…<\/p>\n

…because there’s a reason Kathy Griffin is on the “D” list.<\/p>\n

“What a deeply obnoxious person”, I thought – knowing, of course, that that’s exactly why she was hired. She barged in on pretty much everything Cooper said – not that that made us miss anything, of course, because he was playing the straight man. But Griffin gives “classless and vulgar” a bad name, I thought, flipping the TV off after about five minutes.<\/p>\n

Turns out I was right, and <\/em>missed the “fun” part:<\/a><\/p>\n

Comedienne Kathy Griffin may be doomed to life on CNN’s S-list after answering a heckler with a shrieking, vulgar tirade during the network’s live New Year’s Eve broadcast.”Screw you,” she told the heckler. “Why don’t you get a job, buddy? You know what? I don’t go to your job and knock the d- – – out of your mouth.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

[Joke about how “that’d explain a lot about the evening’s bookings” deleted for propriety’s sake].<\/p>\n

The raunchy exchange, which occurred well after the ball dropped at midnight, was received with guffaws by the camera crew.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hopefully it’ll be the start of Griffin’s voyage to the 2011 season of “Rock of Love” or “I Love New York”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
