Palin: Kathy Griffin's a 'bully'
Sarah Palin is taking a swing at Kathy Griffin, calling the comic a "bully" for frequently targeting the former Alaska governor's family for ridicule.

"Kathy Griffin can do anything to me or say anything about me," Palin said in an interview Saturday on Fox News. "She's a 50-year-old adult bully, a has-been comedian."

Griffin is reported to soon be playing a Palin-inspired character on Fox's "Glee," just the latest instance in which Griffin has mocked Palin and her family. The comedian called Palin's daughter, Bristol, "The White Precious," after her stint on "Dancing with the Stars" — a suggestion that Bristol had gained weight during the show.

3. There's only one person targeting the "family."
And it ain't Griffin.

5. Why is she so focused on Griffin
when she is far from the only comedian that takes jabs at her?

8. A taunt with a predicted reaction.
If Palin is dealing with Griffin she's beyond out-of-touch.

Even below what she "reads."

11. Kind of off topic but saw Griffin in a sitcom last week. She was great
and is quite the comedic actress. I'm not really a fan of hers but she was excellent in the role. Could have been Harry's Law or the Defenders, not sure.

16. Bullys attack the weak while Griffin is attacking Palin, so does Sarah
admit to being weak?

17. she calls Griffin a "has-been"?
Palin, who is a has-been governor? Man, conservatives ability to project never ceases to amaze me.

Irony must have a picture of Sarah Palin in the definition.

20. What's the matter Sarah?
You can dish it out, but, you can't take it? As another poster put it, get back on your cross, sarah. Stop bitching about the nails hurting your hands and feet.

23. I consider all three of them crashing boors:
Sarah's a blowhard who figured out she can rake in some cash by trading hot air for attention; Bristol's noticed she can rake in some cash by riding on her mother's noisy coattails; Kathy's decided to seek attention and cash by attacking Sarah and Bristol

Why should I give a fug about any of them ?

:boring:

24. With the smallest scintilla of wit
Palin may be dangerous. As it is, her mundane, whining, more-suited-to-a-teenager responses only prove how dull an intellect she has.

to be a real American watching her kuckster freak show fall from the sky.

28. It really is tactless going after someone because of their weight
But then again, putting Democratic Congressmen under rifle scopes is also pretty tactless...

29. Takes ONE to know one, Sarah
Talk about projection. This woman is the queen new age of bully-politics. S.P only wishes she had fans that can talk in complete sentences.
