Piers Morgan Attempts To Engage Kathy Griffin On The Economy; It Goes Horribly, Wonderfully Wrong

video
» 67 comments

Most cable news guests asked about the massive selloff on Wall Street Thursday did not climb on top of the host’s desk, crawl over to them and kiss them. But one did. On CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight, guest Kathy Griffin (who vowed at the start of her live interview to get Piers Morgan “fired” and “thrown off television,” resulting in Morgan’s aside that “you’d probably be very popular if you did that”) argued that President Obama‘s problems were largely created by George Bush. And then she, you know, jumped up on Morgan’s glass desk and made things very awkward and extremely interesting.

Griffin also admitted she was “obsessed” with the clinic operated by Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann’s husband Marcus. “You know, his reparative therapy clinic where he tries to de-gay people? For me, that was called high school, and it doesn’t work.”

    The CNN promos for this had them asking the question “Are we out of our minds?”

    Yes.

    Leave the Stupid Human Tricks to Letterman and try booking guests that are actually interesting, if you can find anyone who fits that description and is willing to talk to Piers.

    I saw part of this last night.  Did not realize what a light weight Piers is.  No wonder he’s tanking.  Also the British teeth don’t help.

    “During Clinton , there was no debt at all.”

    Really?

    LOL

    You libs are just so, so, stupid!

    When Clinton left office , there was over $5 trillion in debt and Barry has added $4 trillion in 2.5 years!

    That’s $1.56 trillion /year compared to Bush’s $625 billion/year.

    LMAO

    “she, you know, jumped up on Morgan’s glass desk”

    Sensationalism can get you 5 seconds of fame but you must keep outdoing your last stunt. Eventually she will be going commando to get attention.

    So do all the guys here who make fun of Kathy Griffin’s looks have girlfriends?
    And if they somehow do, what do their girlfriends look like? And what do the guys look like.
    Just askin’.
    Something tells me there is hypocrisy going around.
    Kathy Griffin is an attractive, physically in shape middle aged woman. She is not 19.

    Admit it; Kathy is hung better than you are and you are jealous.

  • ImNotBlue

    Great point.  You’d never see Democrats on television night after night complaining about something, and whining that they’re not getting enough attention.

    Why would CNN allow the booking of this hateful gossip queen in the first place? They must not be too concerned about soiling their brand.

    Kathy Griffin is outrageous and funny and a master manipulator of the media.  She got you talking about her.

    I haven’t given Kathy a thought in years and now I know why. But, hey Kathy…I promise I’ll give you another thought in 9 or 10 years.

  • caconservative

    It’s sad that a woman of her enormous talent puts herself in the unflattering position of defending a president, who she put so much unfounded trust in, who continues to believe in a lie, and will use any tired talking point to justify her misplaced loyalty.

    Kathy makes Ann Coulter look like a dog.  Actually Ann Coulter makes Ann Coulter look like a dog.

    Today comedy is done with sexual references. In the past comedians could be funny without needing to use crass sex remarks.

    The reason why this country is in trouble is because we, our youth in particular, choose to elevate clowns like this one and talentless sluts on reality TV.

  • Westwindworld

    Kathy Griffin has brilliant talent and tells it like it is, and does not give a flying rat’s ass what any of you think…and I use the word “think”loosely. That’s why she’s making money and getting Emmys and getting laid and has a fantastic career while you are all using your free hand to type in your misdirected stupidity and anger toward sexually free, intelligent, fearless women like her. You are too stupid to watch her, so just turn it back to All Star Wrestling if you can get any reception at the trailer park.

    Two things are evident here….
    1)  Piers Morgan had NO idea what he was in for when he agreed to “interview” this nit-wit.
    AND
    2)  I am betting that he is sorry he banned Ann Coulter from his show.

    What Piers does not get is that there is a difference when you interview a woman of grace and class…and then you go looking on the streets for someone like that Griffin twit.

  • Blevit

    Hold on a second…I’m just cleaning up the vomit!!!!

  • Frank

    Nothing like a conservative that went through Bachmann’s de-gaying clinic to set everyone straight.

  • GeorgeInWisconsin

    I had the misfortune to see Griffin make a mockery of Piers Morgan and the show.  Of course, this is CNN and degenerates are not too few and far between.  It’s no wonder Fox News has nearly triple the viewers in every time slot.

  • SlyFox

    I thought Kathy Griffin graduated from Bachman’s clinic..Now she is a transvestite

    Why don’t you enlighten everyone then?

  • Rhard

    Or those jowels and double chin.  Why do we need a British guy interviewer on American TV?  There aren’t that many Anglophiles in America to boost the shows ratings.  It’s going to tank.

  • Rhard

    Criminals refer to a quick theft as a snatch-n-grab, but Griffin is safe.  No one would dare grab that snatch.

  • Rhard

    No they’re too busy destroying America with their evil plans.

  • Rhard

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  However, not everyone has as much trouble seeing as yourself.  The professionals at EyeMart Express may be of some help.

  • Rhard

    It’s so nice to hear that Griffin has at least a handful of fans.  It can be so lonely where she’s at.

  • Rhard

    That ship sailed ages ago.

  • Bumborumbo

    uh…. did she say debt was wiped off in Clinton’s time? The last time US paid off its debt was in 1837 under Andrew Jackson…. during Clinton’s admin the US had almost 5 trillion dollars of debt…. does she even do research before showing up on national television? Wow….. WOW…..
