> [@SHAKES](#): > > Ahhhkkkk!! > I TAKE IT BACK!! I TAKE IT BACK!! > > I had her confused with Kathy Griffin!! Now that is funny shit right there. I was thinking **SHAKES** likes Kathy Lee Gifford? Really? Wow I guess I had him pegged wrong. I loathe Kathy Lee Gifford. But Kathy Griffin I can get behind if for nothing else but her wit. Thanks for clearing up the misunderstanding. ---

I’ll give you even more Kathie Lee puke. I have had the misfortune to catch Today a couple times during her segments, once she was being flirty and suggestive with a boy that was 12 or 13. Another time she was trying out new blue jeans and was writhing and thrusting out her backside in a way which she must have thought was sexy but really it was just disturbing. These incidents could have happened on the same show, I’m not positive since I am still in the process of trying to block these images from my memory. ---

Very funny stuff. I started a tribute thread. Perhaps we will have a whole string of “makes me puke” threads and then we’ll finally get our vomit smiley. ---

I knew for certain that my sister in law was insane when one morning over breakfast at a family reunion I made a Kathie Lee joke and she said quite loudly: “When the history of the world is written, Kathie Lee Gifford will go down as one of the greatest people who ever lived.” My husband and the rest of the family got really quiet. :eek:I didn’t say another word after that. What could I say? My SIL had said it all. Of course, earlier in the conversation she’d bragged that she and her husband drink at least six bottles of champagne between them every Saturday night. That might have something to do with it… On the way home I made up new lyrics to the Aerosmith song, “Janie’s Got a Gun.” My husband and I had a lot of fun singing it. I think it went something like this: Cody’s got a gun. Kathie Lee’s on the run. What did his daddy do? Found a stewardess to screw… How is it that Kathie Lee is still on the airwaves? Truly, I don’t understand. There has to be somebody, somewhere in power that is so besotted with her they can’t think straight… (Maybe that minx is REALLY good in bed), or, maybe she has something on somebody… Or, she sold her soul to the devil? Really, somebody 'splain it to me because I can’t figure it out on my own. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/kathie-lee-gifford-still-making-me-puke/507743.md?page=1)
