Kathy Griffin's false idol


KATHY GRIFFIN ''I'm looking at that statue right now and I just...I carry it everywhere. I take it to the bathroom'."

From Kathy Griffin's interview with Entertainment Weekly, following her Emmy win:

And when you did win, you pointedly did not thank Jesus in your acceptance speech, right?
Here's what I said exactly: ''A lot of people get up here and thank Jesus for helping them win this award, but I have to say nobody has been less helpful in getting me to this moment than Jesus. I don't know what I ever did to him, I just think he doesn't like me that much, and if he had his way, Caesar Milan would be holding this statue right now, but he's not and I am! So I guess all I can really say is, 'Suck it, Jesus! This statue is my God now!'''

How'd the crowd react when you said that?
They actually laughed! So that's been so great about the D-List show. It's so great that people know, like, I'm actually kidding. So it was great to not get booed off the stage and have people throw burning crosses at me. I don't think you can bring a burning cross to the Emmys. It was like, ''Oh good, they're finally getting that I'm just kidding.''

How sad. Wonder if she thinks that statue can save her soul? She's scary looking. Too much work done.

I think when she had all that plastic surgery done they threw in a lobotomy for free. Yeesh! What a MORON this woman is!

And to think at one point I thought she was entertaining.

Oh well, just one more reason not to watch TV.

Wow. Is she serious? In my whole life I've yet to see such words until now. Even if it be a joke, what a sick joke it is.

did you notice her bangs are uneven?

Catholic Audio said...

Yeah. She's an ex-Catholic. You know, we're an awful lot like the girl with the curl on her forehead: when we're good we're very good, but when we're bad we're horrid.

I've never met anyone worse than ex-Catholics. And while I'm thinking about it, some Jesuit is going to have a lot of explaining to do about Voltaire.

Well, if you're on your way to hell, you might as well go all the way with it. Just as Luther preached, "If you're going to sin, sin boldly!"

I once had a band teacher who told us in practice, "If you're going to make mistakes, make LOUD mistakes!"

Of course, that was to instill humility so she could correct our errors befor the concert.

I'm thinking Ms. Griffin missed that part of rehersal....

She can have her "god". How empty it is.
