Kathy Griffin Takes Back Apology

I used to like her spunk but now she is pissing me off. Has any journalist gotten inside her circle to report on what she thinks she is doing?

I liked her when she parodied herself in Seinfeld, but that was about it.

Even many on the left attacked Griffin for the photo of her carrying a severed, bloodied Trump head. Her good buddy Anderson Cooper even said something about it and she disowned him as a friend recently for not backing her up. Shortly after the incident Kathy Griffin was apologizing and crying about her career. Now she is taking back her apology and saying that "the whole outrage was B.S.". I guess this means that her original policy was insincere and all she really cared about was her career.

I wonder how many people do not know that being insincere, and caring only about her career, has been her schtick for decades?

This is all he right does all day. They find some far left nutjob nobody cares about to use as proof that their liberal straw man is real.

I listen to conservative radio and they spend all their time beating up on the liberal straw man.

Interesting.

I listen to leftist (mis-named "liberal") media and they spend all their time beating up on the conservative straw man. Go figure. :coffeepap:

She made a crappy joke/statement that blew up in her face, which is what happens when comedians try to be edgy and don't thoroughly work through how successfully the joke/statement will reach its audience. Likewise, another untalented comedian, Bill Maher, stepped onto a landmine with his extraordinarily arrogant "I'm not your house n*****" comment. Nobody liked, approved, or defended of either of these performances.

All that said, the public lost its goddamn mind and resorted to one of the grandest examples of SJW shaming in a way that far overshadowed the original offense. Frankly, I'd take back my apology too.

You seemed to have reveled in the "grab her by the *****" hysterics on here.

Now you make exceptions?

Trump was elected POTUS, Griffin is a mediocre comedian, you think there is no difference in standards to hold them to?

Now, just imagine if we voted Kathy Griffin into the white house. Or maybe Maxine Waters. Think on what your position would be, what your default state of mind would be.

Ahem........ the comment was about taking back a apology. Not the status of the apologist.

Don't make arguments on assumptions or a strawman.

And, I don't need to anymore "but" "but" "but"

I agree. I posted this and a few people got upset with me and called me transphobic.

I saw it as a slam on Trump, or more correctly, Pence. I'm not transphobic at all. If you know anything about MASH, you get the joke.

I might be the only one in my generation that does, but I get and appreciate the reference.

So the comment was about an apologist taking back their apology.
But it was not about the apologist?

Sounds like Trump had a hand in crafting that argument.

(Maxine Waters as president...how are you feeling? on a scale of 1 to 10?)

Bragging about committing sexual assault ≠ stupid photographs or racist statements.
