Kathy Griffin has gone too far this time.
The Irish American stand-up comedienne and Anderson Cooper sidekick has announced her new year resolution is to attack Willow Palin,daughter of Sarah because she is overweight.
The kid is just 16-years-old.
"I've already gone for Sarah, Todd and Bristol obviously. But I think it's Willow's year to go down. In 2011, I want to offend a new Palin," Fox News quoted her as having said.
Targeting a minor, especially on such an issue as weight loss is frankly, disgusting -- and should not belong in any comedian's repetoire.
Has she no shame?
Griffin should know better. She already got booed by US troops for attacking Willow during a live performance.
Hollywood publicist Angie Meyer has it right.
"To attack a young girl solely because of her last name seems rather contradictory of the types of justice she champions for others," Meyer said.
"A 50-year-old woman who chooses to attack a 16-year-old girl publicly at a time when cyber-bullying and teenage suicide are at their highest reported rates, not only sets irreconcilable example for others, it's tasteless, immoral, and frankly - classless," she stated.
Griffin claims she was going after Willow after she used nasty gay words on Facebook
"She's called people a fa---t on Facebook a couple of times. You don't throw around the f-word without hearing from me about it," she added.
C'mon Kathy, you're 50, she's sixteen.
Leave the kid alone.

Griffin is NOT funny - she's tasteless, immature, and totally obnoxious. I watched her for 3 sec. on her New Year's gig with Anderson Cooper. It was obvious what he thought of her. She's got nothing going for her if she doesn't have anything better to do than to pick on a 16 yr. old kid. Griffin - shut up and go away. Btw: Griffin has had a lot of "work" done on her body as an adult. She has no right to be criticizing anyone's looks.

The answer to the question is, NO, Griffin has no shame (or talent, except for being obnoxious). Poor Kathy was never blessed with much in the way of brains or mental stability but apparently she has lost it completely due to her Palin obsession. Sad but typical...

kathy griffin was publically humiliated that her barely legal boy toy, levi johnson, dumped her to go back to Bristol. Hell hath no fury. So now she is going to attack a child...I don't like humor when it is at the expense of someone who is not in your league. kathy griffin is willing to debase anyone in order to get some publicity, she is a cupid stunt.
