And People Still Hypocritically Praise Anchor Mika Brzezinski

Interesting Facts 

Larry King Live on CNN last night did a 0.78 rating which is actually down a bit for the show. The show featured John Cena, Chris Jericho, Bret Hart, Ted Dibiase, Steve Blackman, and WWE attorney Jerry McDevitt. For comparison, Larry King did a 2.69 rating for his interview with Paris Hilton a few weeks ago and a .91 last Monday.

Dear Kathy Griffin (and haters),

Who do you think Americans find more boring: Paris Hilton or these WWE stars? Actually, you know what? I’ve watched you on “The View” and I can say without a doubt that you were a boring person, but you’re not the only one. Virtually every guest on “The View” is boring, and I’m pretty damn sure that most people would be far more interested in seeing Paris as a guest star on “The View.” That’s a fact. Hypocrites!

After midnight I posted the following on
Kathy Griffin’s MySpace Comments
— she had been a Top Friend —
in count ’em, 5 parts.
They’re all on there still, till she removes it.
& in 2 parts, on her Bravo D-List blog.
They had to be approved, still have yet to,
& I’m sure never will.
Oh, look out!
______________

I WAS planning to go see you, Kathy,
tonight (Friday 7/13) @ South Shore Music Circus, south of the city upon the hill, Boston. You should feel right at home looking down on everyone. Except me. There was a 7th row seat waiting w/my name on it. Until last night. When I read one of your latest interviews, where you were being asked ad nauseam about landing the empty seat on The View. But you respond that The View ain’t throwing “the Griffin Money” your way, so instead you’re supporting Rosie O’Donnell/slamming Barbara Walters.

O’Donnell left the view, saying she loves Hasslebeck. So how does she show it? By not letting go in the least, by “allegedly” drawing devil horns, a tail and a fiendish goatee on a picture of Hasslebeck. US Weekly quoted her as saying of Elisabeth – “her only f-ing credit was ‘Survivor!’ Come on!” Rosie went on to show more good sportsmanship by adding that their last “View” face off wasn’t fought on an even battle field, allegedly saying, “I can’t fight with pregnant people. Just go have your baby and have a nice life.”

Now that’s true love. But you are at least showing it to Rosie. “What Rosie proved is that soccer moms and stay-at-home women really do want to talk about the war and about how disappointed they are in this administration,” Griffin told Canadian Press (CP) from California, where she’s on tour for her standup act. “As a viewer, I hope that whoever they choose, they don’t stop talking about political issues. It was really exciting when Rosie brought up those issues.”

Yes, & I say it’s exciting when you do, too, Kathy. But do you think that is ALL The View would want? You’re a comedienne. Rosie stopped being funny a while ago. But you haven’t. Except to CP apparently, as there wasn’t one single joke in the article dated 7/08/07. Were the laughs laughed out or just left out? Or are you leaving comedy behind, too?

So what else did you talk about? Why the one person one can’t not talk about. Not if they don’t want the world to pay any attention to them, of course. Paris Hilton. The world haters are throwing rocks & you’re either with them or against them. & if against, prepare then to get the rocks thrown next at you.

So where does Kathy line up? Even though w/out the bad girl celebs she would have no gig, she’s at the haters trough.
– Bitch, don’t confuse hate with jealousy.
– Oops, I did it again.

KG is herself on the short list of candidates to replace O’Donnell. But that doesn’t stop her from taking shots at the woman who could one day be her boss. “Pursuing the Paris Hilton interview was a bad call,” Griffin tells CP of Walter’s ultimately unsuccessful efforts to land Hilton’s first post-jail interview last month. “It’s just another chapter in the dumbing-down of America, and Barbara’s someone who’s interviewed every head of state and every president.

“I know that the ratings for Larry King were good, but believe me, I guarantee that the next one-on-one sit down with Paris Hilton will be a bust. We all saw it, it was boring, she’s a moron and a liar – people see through that.”

Where’s the bah-doom? Oh, no joke. No just a beat-down. Just boring, straight, serious. A sitting in judgment call. How original. Where’s Sarah Silverman when you need her?

To think I had admired you because you were funny but generous. Now I guess it is you who are always smart & honest, & can see through to when others aren’t. You are holier-than-thou, are God. You used to always offer the proviso,”allegedly.” Because we are all “allegedly” people.
Even Paris Hilton has got it.
Soul.

“We” all saw it. I didn’t. I love Paris but I knew it would be a mistake. She’s not an analytical speaker. A live 60 minute long interview, only the day after getting out of prison? The format should have instead been more like your show. Have an interviewer follow her around for a few days & then edit the best &/or worst, whatever bits. Show her in natural surroundings. See her as human. I mean, you do think she is, right? Human? She is real? Has feelings?

She’s smart, just in an intuitive, artistic way. Then you say she’s a “liar.” Why is that? Because she hasn’t changed, doesn’t care? You can read minds. Because she said she doesn’t do drugs? I don’t know. There are no reasons offered, nothing to substantiate your claims. Maybe you were taken out of context. Like your jokes that must have been edited out. Because I know if I had a Kathy Griffin interview the one thing I would want to do is take out the jokes. I mean, she’s running for president, right?

1), Paris was arrested for DUI, not drugs, so why was Larry King — who totally fucking sucks anyway, is boring as hell, a terrible interviewer — why is he even asking her that question? Have you ever taken drugs? Please. Well, pops, topsy-turvy: how many drugs are you on now, you old fuck? I would have told Larry to mind his damn business, to take a flying leap. Why the nerve asking that BS question. Is he America’s conscience? The Pope? My dad? Fuck him! But then I’m an analytical thinker & talker. I would have eaten him for breakfast & thrown him up on the camera lens.

2) Who hasn’t lied to this question in their life? Unless you are in rehab or AA, you BETTER be lying about this question.

3) Get w/it, Kathy. The only footage of her doing drugs is smoking pot, & that was taken, where? Amsterdam. Where it is fucking legal.

4) Get w/it again. Most young people, people w/any cred, don’t even consider pot a drug. Not to be listed w/other illegal drugs. It should be legal, and most hip people accept that, talk about it like smoking pot is an acceptable natural fact of life. You either do it or you don’t. Like eating meat. Like beating up on Paris.

5) Liquor & cigarettes are both legal drugs, and the biggest killers. This is Amerikkka, for hypocrites’ sake. While we are at it:

Paris’s alcohol blood level was just at the bare minimum above the legal limit. How many American adults w/driver’s licenses have NOT at least once in their life, driven while at or above the legal limit of alcohol? ALL but less than one percent I’d wager. The law you don’t break is getting caught.

Paris has poor management. I myself would have strongly suggested locking the keys away after her first probation violation. Hell, I’d be her driver on-call, 24/7. I would have made sure she showed up for court on time. I would have appealed, I would still now sue the judge, who interfered w/the sheriff when he let Paris go home. Look it up. Paris should never have done time. Instead she did 80% more time than most for her “crime.”

I would not have let her do Larry King Live. But then Paris is a spontaneous creature. She’s never hurt anyone. She lives the life that we all want, we’re all jealous of. Maybe you would deal w/it better than her. I would have been dead long before 26. I’m analytical but I have a wild streak. Paris doesn’t give a fuck, but lives & let live. I love that about her. She doesn’t care but ultimately she can’t help but care. She has a conscience, whatever you think.

I love Paris. The more the beat-down goes on, the more it gets tired, my love will be alive for her only more so. She’s a Muse, a poet, a wild child. Is it her fault you bitches can’t stop talking about how much you can’t stand her being talked about anymore? She is your meal ticket so show some damn respect.

I did a fucking Blingee of you, of all people. Yeah, a blingee. What was I thinking? It’s a kid’s thing, so being a crafty artistic fuck, mine are better than just about anybody’s I’ve seen. & I’m fucking old. Like all Kathy Griffin fans, I was dying to see you. But then I’m dying.

You were my 4th of July hero this year. I saw you the day before on the tube going after Ann Coulter. Ann is smart, but on a scale of justice/morality compared to Paris, it’s like comparing apples with Hitlers. Ann should swing from a lamp post. But then I’d cut her immediately right down because I don’t believe in the death penalty. & her crimes are of the mind. I liked that you also showed Ann respect for being wild & outrageous.

You even gave kudos to Lindsay Lohan. “Because at least she works.” I’d venture to say, however, Paris works more than Lindsay, & parties less. & Lindsay is smart in the same intuitive way as Paris. Not a great long live interview. That is not her strength. But Lindsay & Ann get cred from you but none for Paris. Are you a sacred cow, scared to show it? Is everyone afraid but me to say openly that she is a fellow human being. She has not hurt anyone. She does not deserve death wishes every tenth of a second on the Internet.

BTW, maybe it’s because it’s not meant for men, but The View, Rosie or no Rosie, sucks. But may you get The Room Without A View gig if you want it. I saw you last year in concert so I’m contributing to the house of Griffin. Have a “Suck It” good show tonight.

I think you’re smart & funny. I agree w/your politics. But I think you’re human. We’re all subject to thinking we’re better than the other guy/gal. I save my true vicious contempt, wishes for the death penalty, only for mass murderers. Like Bush. I’d like to see the old Texacutioner hung on the White House lawn. But you say what you will. & so will your fans.

All right. Don’t forget tomorrow’s Bastille Day, celebrated in French Quebec, & yes, Paris. I’m celebrating w/Team Hilton in mind. Yes, they happen to be rich & I’m poor. What a sucker I am. All crimes are paid.
