Comedienne Kathy Griffin believes it's "only a matter of time" before personal finance expert Suze Orman is President of the United States.
Why you may ask.
"Because you want a nice, financially focused, dirty lesbian running this country."
So said Griffin Friday during an absolutely preposterous conversation with fellow comedienne Joy Behar on the latter's HLN program (video embedded below the fold with partial transcript):
JOY BEHAR, HOST: The Christmas album, let's talk about that. Why is there no X-rated Christmas album really? You're not talking about Christmas in this album.
KATHY GRIFFIN, COMEDIENNE: Well, no. By the way, this, this CD is called "Suckin' It For The Holidays" really to grab your attention. The language in the CD is much worse than that, and I am out to offend a lot of groups. Let me just read you some of the titles.
BEHAR: Okay.
GRIFFIN: One of them is, it starts with "Happy Kwaanza" because I enjoy making fun of all religious groups. And I enjoy Kwaanza because as far as I know it's a made up holiday that's only about seven years old. And then there is a section about President Suze Orman because I believe that Suze Orman will and should be President.
BEHAR: Why?
GRIFFIN: It's only a matter of time. Because, I'll tell you why. Because you want a nice, financially focused, dirty lesbian running this country. And the bailout would not have happened, none of this Wall Street mess would have even happened if America could have been in the "Can I Afford It" segment of the Suze Orman Show.
BEHAR: Yes, it's true.
GRIFFIN: It's only a matter of time before she's President Orman.
BEHAR: Okay.
GRIFFIN: And then, but I do try to offend many people and try to let no one get out unscathed.
That's for sure. Do any of you feel unscathed?

To call Behar and Griffin
November 7, 2009 - 01:10 ET by Patrick MichaelTo call Behar and Griffin comedians is to disparage comedians everywhere. The only thing 'funny' about these two is the fact that they somehow think they are relevant. But since Behar's show does book guests like Ted Danson, Danny Bonaduce and Fran Drescher I guess Kathy Griffin is right at home. Joy probably won't book Ann Coulter anymore as Ann has a tendancy to kick Joy's ass all over the studio (which while hilarious must be kind of disconcerting for Joy). Kathy Griffins brief fling with Levi freaking Johnson verifys that she is the lowest of the low.
Stay Free!!!
Puke worthy
November 7, 2009 - 07:53 ET by nadadhimmiWhat? Griffin had a fling with Levi's Johnson? Say it aint so. The kids mind snapped under the pressure. I wonder how much child support Levi Johnson is paying for his child with Bristol Palin?? Would the answer be >>>NONE.

November 7, 2009 - 09:27 ET by notonmywatch"dirty lesbian"
There's something very nasty about when people use words like "dirty" as a complement.

Two Redheads one Brain?
November 7, 2009 - 13:23 ET by allanfI was struck by the visual image of the two redheads Behar and Griffin together on television. Since these women are queens of the ad-hominem attack, its fair to say "two redheads one brain".

November 7, 2009 - 16:26 ET by Free StinkerEven combined, they still cannot come up with one brain. They'd be at 0.4 at best.

November 7, 2009 - 13:28 ET by CindyBradfordI read online that Suze Orman sexually violated a woman who was not a lesbian.
Stupid is as Stupid Does
November 7, 2009 - 01:16 ET by ptsonStupidity for the shock value of generating publicity. Sorry to see it show up here. (The refuge of a third rate comic on display, picking on a second rate financial advisor. On a show that is far from first class.) SAD!

Probably no worse than the current one.

Kathy Griffin was never
November 7, 2009 - 09:39 ET by motherbeltKathy Griffin was never funny. Even in her appearance on Seinfeld, the character she played wasn't even funny; how bad is that?
Like all liberal "comedians" her "comedy" consists of insulting people, but without an iota of the affection that Don Rickles, the original insult comic, had for his targets. There is a world of difference between "insulting" and "offending." The people who Rickles insulted laughed right along with him.
That she thinks the title of her "album" hilarious is more proof that she has no talent, and has to resort to being offensive to get attention.
That album cover is positively disgusting!
What the hell is wrong with these people?????
As for Joy "speak and remove all doubt" Behar, she expects to be taken seriously with this HLN show.
This ain't the way to do it, Joy!

A QUESTION...
November 7, 2009 - 08:34 ET by danybhoyWho is the hotter of the 2 sexy womenz on the cable news scene??? Is it...
Suze Orman?
Rachel Maddow?
I know this is a tough choice, sort of like like choosing between a Ferrari & a Bentley. I hope some of you are up to the task...

November 7, 2009 - 10:25 ET by Free StinkerSuze Orman for President?
She's not even a good financial advisor. IMHO she's nearly as stupid as Krammer.
Now if you said Larry Kudlow for President or Abby Cohen, that might be a different story, but Orman?

You are right about
November 7, 2009 - 15:02 ET by PeskyDaneYou are right about Orman. Note how she can not point to a single person she has ever made better off financially. Not even convinced she's a hardcore "L." I understand that back in the 90's she made her pile at Merrill essentially by being a girlfriend. Now she makes millions telling people to save 10% of their earnings and to bank face their bills inside their wallets.
Somewhere just South of DeMoines there is a truckstop missing an obnoxious waitress from their staff.
You guys made me laff
November 7, 2009 - 10:55 ET by StarAZI can just SEE Orman saying to Congress: "Denied, girlfriend!" I do wonder why she wears orange canvas clothes so often.
Kathy Griffin..who?
November 7, 2009 - 11:29 ET by jefflebowskiAnother pathetic liberal un-funny "comedian." What is it with left-wing poor attempts at humor? Garofalo, Franken, Mophead Goldberg, Chevy Chase...all painful to watch. Bitterness is not funny!

Re Griffin
November 7, 2009 - 11:30 ET by slickwillie2001I saw a picture of this skank with Levi Johnston a few days ago, and her massive head is bigger than his. Her jaw alone puts Jay Leno to shame.
She's Okay With Me
November 7, 2009 - 13:20 ET by rammingspeedI'm a Kathy Griffin fan. She leans left, to be sure, but she's smart and willing to offend that side of the aisle. Her Kwanzaa crack will drive PCers crazy. She hits both sides, unlike Bill Maher and the rest of the liberal "comedians."
Griffin is Disgusting
November 7, 2009 - 14:10 ET by DaMamaPlease do not insult comedians everywhere by referring to Joy Behar or Kathy Griffin as "comedians". These women are angry, bitter, brainless old hags who don't have an ounce of talent between the two of them. It's no surprise that Griffin would take one of the most holy of Christian holidays and trash it. This female has no shame, no morals, no redeeming qualities whatsoever. It's a shame to say something like that about someone, but the truth is the truth. Griffin's attempts at comedy are horrible, and I don't know why anyone would give this woman the time of day.
Anyone buying this album?
November 7, 2009 - 14:59 ET by SlyrrIs anyone, knowing what's in this album, planning to actually BUY it?
Will the NFL boss, hearing this 'divisive' language, ban her from trying to buy team ownership?
Why didn't Joy denounce this album, telling us all about how she waters her pillow every night with her tears over the 'coarsening of dialogue' in the country....?
So, You're Trying To Prove A War On Christmas Exists, Yet Again?
November 7, 2009 - 15:28 ET by The7SticksWe've been over this before. If a so-called "War on Christmas" ever existed, who declared it? A declaration of war must be made first in order to commence with such warfare. Where are the tanks with the hippie daisies painted on them that blow up creches and Christmas trees? I haven't seen any. I've only seen isolated incidents that don't even seem to correlate that much with a united front. Rather, they seem to be disgruntled no-joys who just want be a Grinch to everyone. Of course, now I'm more afraid to say "Happy Holidays" than "Merry Christmas." I don't think anybody wanted to force people to say "Happy Holidays", but now I feel threatened if I slip up and don't say "Merry Christmas."
If you ought to know the truth, this was the one issue that made me say "Screw it, I'm voting for Obama." When the RNC released a radio ad approved by McCain the day before the election that said "liberals are trying to ban Christmas", he lost my vote. McCain's a good man, but in my eyes, he sold his soul with that ad. I can't, in good conscience, vote for someone who uses such a pathetic attack like that.
Well, I'm going to buck the P.C. thugs and say "Happy Holidays."

November 7, 2009 - 21:21 ET by Radical19797sticks the "war" is a CULTURE war. So it's fought with words, music, and other media, that demean the holiday. And if the one issue that made you vote for Obama was McCain's comment about Christmas you really missed the important issues of the campaign.

Problem is, I don't see any anti-muslim songs here.

November 7, 2009 - 20:19 ET by FranksamI know that Kathy can be crude and rude. I've been crude and rude, and in fact, I think I could say things about Kathy's body parts and how they could be utilized that might make her think I was over the top. I would never present that talent of mine on NewsBusters.
On the other hand, if that *&%^in #@$%^ ever wants to get into a @#$%ing "throw-#@$%^^$-down with someone who knows more about anatomy than a pathologist, I will *&%^ her skinny #$% up and down the #$%^&$%-@#$%ing stairs and across the #$%$inf street before she knows where her @## is.
