A C&%$#! N$%&#! N$&@#! New Years
S
omewhere in CNN’s vast management hierarchy is a person who actually thought it would be a good idea to invite foul-mouthed Kathy Griffin to co-host the cable network’s New Years Eve broadcast from Times Square with Anderson Cooper. 
Those of us with common decency figure that person is face-palming today; but, hey, it’s CNN and he/she is probably a hero.
In the clip above, Griffin yells at an off-camera heckler:
Screw you! Why don’t you get a job, buddy? You know what? I don’t go to your job and knock the d- – - out of your mouth.
A bit mystified by the blanks? Think plural form of a slang word for a particularly censorable part of the male anatomy. Got it? Thrilled that it went out live over CNN? Amazed that she contained herself with “screw you?”
In another segment, Griffin said she’d like to get a pap smear from CNN’s medical reporter, and in another she called Glenn Beck a “heroin addict Mormon.”
The NYPost asked CNN for a comment but the network is not as loose-lipped as Griffin – another case of the media no-commenting when it’s the target of prying questions.
Some of you may recall that during her acceptance speech for an Emmy (note to self: pat yourself on back for having not watched the Emmies for the last couple of decades), Griffin let loose with this memorable acceptance speech:
A lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus. So, all I can say is, ‘Suck it, Jesus.’ This award is my god now.
One might think quotes like this and the weekly drivel oozing out of her “Life on the D-List” show would have given CNN pause before offering Griffin the New Years gig, but c’mon – this is CNN and its sensibilities are just not sensible. They surely anticipated Griffin would be this foul-mouthed and thought it would be good for their ratings if she spewed live from Times Square.
They got just what they wanted and America started 2009 all the worse because of it. How would Jesus react to all this?
