Barney Frank Slams Kathy Griffin For Calling Scott Brown’s Daughters “Prostitutes”

» 141 comments

Sen. Scott Brown isn’t the only Massachusetts politician speaking out against comedian Kathy Griffin for calling his daughters “prostitutes” on her Bravo show.

Now longtime Democratic Congressman Rep. Barney Frank is defending Brown and calling out Griffin for her “terrible comment.”

In an official letter to Griffin, Frank chastised the comedian for the remark. “I think it’s possible to have fun, and even to poke fun at people in my businesses, without this kind of completely unfair attack,” wrote Frank.

Frank is also featured in the show, which was part of the reason he felt “compelled to comment”:

Since you did include me in that show I wanted to make it very clear that I thought what you did was wholly unfair and inappropriate. It’s the kind of thing that makes it less likely that I or others can cooperate with you in the future.

This bipartisan denouncement doesn’t signal anything more than agreement about a stupid comment, but it is interesting that it was Frank specifically who spoke out. The Boston Globe reports Griffin waded into potentially offensive territory during the episode with Frank as well, saying of the Congressman, “He doesn’t know when ‘American Idol’ is on? He doesn’t care about Liza Minnelli? How is this guy even gay?” (via Newsbusters).

Here’s the letter:

    Now if he could just find the balls and the class to ask the same for Sarah Palin.

    Frank is sensitive about these kinds of accusations, given his own personal history. His “roommate” was arrested for running a brothel out of Frank’s apartment.

    In all seriousness though, good on him.

  • roxsteady

    Fuck Sarah Palin! That bitch comes out on facebook and twitter and talks shit. At least Frank doens’t hide on the internet when he has something to say. Palin’s daughter is proving what we all knew to be true. That’s she’s nothing but a skank. I’d bet money that she’s pregnant again and is simply getting married to cover this up. By the way, how is it that she’s whoring herself for money as a spokes person for Candies Teen Abstinence Program when she’s shacked up with this piece of trash? Are we to assume that he’s not sleeping with her before the wedding? That ship has sailed. Like I said, we know what that family is about and now we know how much. Perhaps Frank should have also called out Scott Brown for “joking” as he put it, that his daughters were available. Yeah, that was very funny!

  • felixw

    Ah Barney, the man who gave us the mortgage crisis, by forcing banks to treat home loans like they were welfare entitlements. And now as mastermind of the 2,000 pages of financial regulation passed earlier this week, he spurred a meltdown in the stock market.

    By all accounts, the “brutal honesty” of banks explaining the real world impact of the bill is what pushed the Dow down 260 points yesterday. But they should have called it being “brutally Frank.”

    http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-07-16/bofa-s-brutal-honesty-on-cost-of-rules-hits-banks.html

    When the history is written, Barney Frank might very well end up having caused more wealth destruction than any politican in history. Fannie Mae alone lost $75 billion just last year — by following the Barney Frank rules. Now he wants all the banks to follow them.

    I never thought I would agree with Barney on anything. Now if only Anderson could find the balls to send Kathy “lipstick on a pig” Griffin the same letter.

    Didn’t the Dems agree that the children of politicians should be off limits?

    I was disappointed to see that John King and Dana Bash are friends of this disgusting botox faced pig. I was especially disappointed to see the video of Bash laughing at her tasteless joke. I thought she had more class than that, but I guess I was wrong.

    House Democrat Health Bill Adds to Budget Deficit, CBO Says

    By GREG HITT

    WASHINGTON — House Democratic legislation overhauling the nation’s health care system would add more than $230 billion to the federal budget deficit over the next ten years, according to the Congressional Budget Office, the official scorekeeper of legislation on Capitol Hill.

    That assessment means the legislation violates one of main principles that President Barack Obama has set for any health-care legislation: that it do nothing to increase the deficit. The report is likely to increase doubts that centrist Democrats have expressed about the $1 trillion package, and could stall action in the House.

    The $239 billion gap is identified in a report sent late Friday by CBO to House Democrats. CBO analyzed the House bill as it was brought before the Ways and Means Committee.”

    Oh, snap-

    Rox, get off your lying libby sources.

    Very smart on Barney’s part and Kathy Griffin has obviously been an idiot for a long time. Barney is probably in more electoral trouble than he’s been in in a long time and showing some decency in Scott Brown Country is a no-brainer. Scott scares the shit out of Barney, I can tell you that.

  • murf

    Pablo , after more pondering on this , I think this was more of a thank you to Brown for his support to pass the Finance Reform Bill.

  • Pablo

    murf, don’t tell me you think Barney didn’t do all the political calculations. That might well be one of them, but just this year his district turned all red for Scott Brown. Barney is looking at that like an oncoming train.

    You’re right, john t. Barney Frank didn’t think about the politics at all, he just reacted from his gut and dashed off an admonishing letter because he was so offended.

    Heh.

    Kathy Griffin is probably just upset her meal ticket crawled back to the Palin camp, but she makes a living by being offensive so she probably would have said what she said anyway.

    Like I said before, I don’t even know who the woman is. Was it humor?

    That’s entirely debatable . More to the point , Rogue-Comic ‘s comment works on two levels . It calls out Kathy Griffin for her comment , and commends Franks for condeming said comment. There’s a third level ,but we won’t go into it. So it wasn’t bashing liberals , it was a tip of the hat , was of the finger in a good natured way .

    Damn, if you’re saying I’m going against Franks for that comment, you are deranged. Why didn’t you answer my question to you? You say everytime you bash liberals it’s humor. Kathy Griffin says something about a con and she should be stoned to death (which it was low taste to say it). She’s a comedinne and your not. All you’re doing is spinning around in circles.

    Woah! Stop it right there! Scott Brown is hardly a conservative. Far from it, actually. He’s very good looking though, as are his daughters. I feel like stoning anybody who makes a joke about incredibly good looking people. In fact, my somebody-is-making-a-joke-about-incredibly-good-looking-people-sense tingled when Kathy Griffin made this statement and now she must be stoned to death.

    John doesn’t grasp the concept of humor very well, does he? Well, Rome wasn’t built in a day, but I guess John’s sense of humor peaked in a day, or less. I mean, what sense of humor? That’s what I meant to say.

    Tell me what Repubs came out and said anything against Limbaugh when he called Chelsea Clinton the White House dog. OH! That’s right, they still won’t come out today and say he’s not the speaker for their party. Hell, even Michael Steele had to apolgize to him.

    Another lie that is oft repeated, spread by Al Franken:

    On his TV show in 1992, a few days after the Presidential election, Rush Limbaugh was reviewing In/Out lists (a popular fad at the time):

    In today’s New York Daily News right here… it’s the obligatory in-out list. Every time there’s a massive change somewhere, people are in, people are out. I’m now out. It says about me on here, Rush Limbaugh, loud-mouthed conservative and Bush favorite. He’s out.

    Rush commented that most of the other things on the days’ list were not funny, but that “one of them in particular” was. Rush quoted from the David Hinckley article

    “In: A cute kid in the White House. Out: Cute dog in the White House.”

    Could– could we see the cute kid? Let’s take a look at– see who is the cute kid in the White House.

    A picture of the “cute dog” (Millie) appeared on the screen instead of the “cute kid” (Chelsea).

    Rush immediately said

    No, no, no. That’s not the kid.

    Then a picture of Chelsea Clinton came on the screen and Rush said

    That’s– that’s the kid.

    Rush apologized several times and told a story about how he had learned early in his career the importance of not making fun of someone’s appearance. He then apologized again and said

    I’m– I hope you will forgive me. I’m fatigued. I’m tired…

    Before breaking to a commercial, Rush asked the audience what he could do to make amends for the incident and, in an odd, spontaneous joke, proceeded to spank himself.

    Rush has always maintained the incident was an accident. On his show four days later, Rush offered an explanation to his audience. First, the show played, “Who’s sorry now” in the background and Limbaugh pointed to himself. Then he said:

    Ladies and gentlemen, I’m sorry. Let me tell you very quickly what happened last Friday night. There was a new in list and new out list that was published in the newspaper. The writer said in, cute kid in the White House; out, cute dog in the White House. Could we show the cute dog in the White House who’s out, and they put up a picture of Chelsea Clinton back in the crew. And many of you people think that we did it on purpose to make a cheap comment on her appearance. And I’m terribly sorry. I don’t–look, that takes no talent whatsoever and I have a lot of talent. I don’t need to get laughs by commenting on people’s looks, especially a young child who’s done nothing wrong. I mean, she can’t control the way she looks. And we really–we do not–we do not do that on this kind of show.

    It is worth noting that, interestingly, there was an incident– in 1993– where Rush did discuss Chelsea Clinton’s appearance. Here’s what he said:

    You know, she’s [Hillary Clinton] got an interview out in Redbook magazine that just came out this week. And in it she says that she thinks it’s very childish of shows like “Saturday Night Live” to make fun of Chelsea. And I agree. I mean, I don’t think you should take shots at a little kid, especially the way a little kid looks and… Well, they do it on “Saturday Night Live” and they’re really mean and vicious about it. And I think that it’s worth pointing out that the liberals who run “Saturday Night Live” are the ones doing that. They always say that people like me make fun of the way people look, and we haven’t done that; and-and so she [Hillary] talks about that…

    (Rush Limbaugh TV Show, February 12, 1993)

    What, you may ask, was Rush talking about? Well, a Saturday Night Live skit had Madonna making a sexual advance toward Chelsea Clinton (played by a dressed-up Julia Sweeney, the actress who also played the androgynous character “Pat”). It was outrageous. The following is from a transcript of the show, which aired on 1/16/1993:

    [Clinton gives Madonna the "Call Me!" signal again, but she shakes hr fingers "No, no", and acknowledges Chelsea instead, who is pleasantly surprised by the outcome]

    Yes, Hillary had in fact complained about Saturday Night Live, where her daughter’s appearance was being viciously mocked.

    As you may recall, whether he was directly involved in the skit or not, Al Franken was a cast member, a writer and a co-producer for the show at the time they were making fun of Chelsea’s appearance– when Hillary complained about it.

    So, Franken spreads a false story to smear Limbaugh, but turns around and allows his show, SNL, to make fun of Chelsea’s appearance.

    But I guess it’s ok, since Franken is a democrat.

    On the off chance that Barney was on the up-and-up with this chastisement, I find myself in an odd predicament that I thought I would never find common ground with this…individual. It is most definitely not de rigueur to personally attack anyones’ family when your differences are not with them.

    That said, I am most displeased with Mr. Brown’s perfornance and conduct in the Senate. I contributed to his campaign and am sorry that I did; he has turned out to be nothing short of a RINO, and about once every six weeks, I was geting a letter from him, asking me for more money.

  • http://none pyrope

    I said “was,” please allow me to explain: I wrote him a letter telling him what I thought of him and his betrayal to fiscal conservatism and that seems to have done the trick. (The aforementioned said, I’m still glad he won; the alternative was a dismal choice.)
