God I hate that woman. Is she famous for any reason? It can’t be for her comedy. ---

What’s wrong with her? She does have something of an annoying stage persona, but she’s an attractive woman, with a nice figure. She may not be your type, but “nasty?” That seems kind of extreme. Maybe I’m thinking of someone else – Kathy Griffin is the redhead who used to be on ‘Suddenly Susan,’ right? Jess (who is confused) ---

I dig redheads, so I’m kinda attracted to her. I saw her on Jimmy Kimmel Live a few nights ago, and she didn’t seem very funny to me. I’d take at look at her in a bikini, given the chance. I guess I might reget it, though. Off to Google image search… ---

\*Dear Lord Kathy Griffin, we thank Thee for Thy obnoxious comedy, and for Thy fiery red mane which is like unto an explosion of Thy bumpy head. Forgive us our sins, oh Bitch of Bitches, that we may enter Thy pre-menstrual kingdom, where you live forever and ever… Amen.\* ---

Isn’t most of her comedy and celebrity based on how shocked she is that she’s even a minor celebrity? The E! Channel is full of people like her. People who are famous because they are recognizable and willing to appear anywhere there are cameras, even if they aren’t very talented. I’ve seen the clip of her in a bikini, so what? She looks no worse than tons of people I’ve seen on public beaches wearing the same amount or less clothing. Just because we know her name and she’s on TV she’s supposed to be in perfect shape? IMO, she’s not funny or talented, but she’s not quite nasty, she’s just…there. ---

Just because we know her name and she’s on TV she’s supposed to be in perfect shape? No of course not… but she is on TV… all I am asking for is maybe some pants… or at least a one piece… those people on the beach are not TV personalities… they don’t make money by being on TV… If you are going to be in front of a few hundred people… you can let go of yout pride for a little while if you are out of shape… but if you are in front of millions… come on… cover it up… [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dear-lord-kathy-griffen/153124.md?page=2)
