Wow. Kathy Griffin may be out to single-handedly save us from the summer news slump! Or at least is aiming to turn celebrity news coverage into some sort of performance art. Last night Griffin filled in for Larry King (a bit like the low-rent version of when Joan Rivers used to fill in on Johnny Carson) and welcomed Sarah Palin grand-baby daddy Levi Johnston as her guest. This, of course, as a follow-up to Johnston attending the Teen Choice Awards as Griffin’s the night before.

Are they dating? You’ll have to watch and decide. Griffin introduces Johnston by way of mentioning she woke up spooning with him and has found love in his “chocolate beautiful eyes.” Levi nods and smiles a lot. It’s unclear whether Levi is in on the joke — if it is a joke. Or merely is the joke. Either way, one suspects the interviews gives a whole new meaning to Sarah Palin‘s idea of a death panel.

I caught a little bit of Rivers’ schtick and some of Griffin’s “interview” with air head Johnston. Both were difficult to watch to say the least, especially listening to Rivers’ and Griffin’s voices on the same program. Those two obnoxious Botox “queens” look like rejects from Madame Tussaud’s house of wax and neither Griffin nor Johnston have yet to master the English language.

Johnston is obviously trying to stretch his 15 minutes by hooking up with the Wicked Witch of the West who, except for her loyal gay following, is long past her own15 minutes. Someone should drop a house on her already!

Needless to say many of the LKL bloggers were not happy.
