Kathy Griffin, the alleged comedienne who was booed by soldiers for a so-called "joke" about Bristol Palin, announced to The Hollywood Reporter that 16-year-old Willow Palin would be her next target.
Griffin, who managed to get through a New Year's program without lapsing into her usual foul language, said, "In 2011 I want to offend a new Palin". The reason?
"She's called people a fa---t on Facebook a couple of times," says Griffin. "You don't throw around the f-word without hearing from me about it."
Griffin has already attacked other members of the Palin family and feels the teenaged girl - still in high school - deserves to "go down".
"But I think it's Willow's year to go down," she said.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Griffin also resolved to go to church more in 2011.
Fox News reports that some in Hollywood are not laughing at Griffin's announcement.
Angie Meyer, a Hollywood publicist says Griffin’s promise to attack Willow, is worse than her joke against Bristol:
“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."
In short - typical Griffin "humor" - justified solely because of the Palin name.
Gayl Murphy, an entertainment reporter, said that such an attack would not be funny, because Willow is defenseless.
“Willow isn’t the problem. If she (Griffin) really is a gifted comic, be gifted and be hilarious,” Murphy said. “It’s not a good fight unless the person you attack can defend themselves …then we’ve got something to laugh about!”

I really can't stand this woman. Who is she the fat police now?
Yeah, this is funny. It is always funny to see someone slip on a banana peel like this straggly-thin hair redhead that somehow appears to carry similar genes that a Hapsbur-Carrotto-lovechild may appear to possibly enjoy. It will also be comical to follow the desperate-grasping attempts and self-destruction of this loser as she proceeds trying to make a success of her clearly failed career by following thru with openly admitting forthcoming attacks on a 16 year old like any openly common pedophile. Unfortunately this “person” not only needs a live television facelift and a makeover but a live television brain transplant followed by a live television stay with Dr. Drew, to enhance and resurrect comedy entertainment to her currently limited audience. Accordingly, best wishes to her for the success of those some-time in the future re-runs when maybe she will look into the toilet and truly see herself swirling in the flush as she is now.
Kathy can make fun of who she wants she is in comedy isn't she?
You have a choice, listen to it or not .
