Kathy Griffin's Hot Mike Should Get Her Fired

TV is great when things happen without warning. From Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction to Presidents and journalist making off colour comments when they don't realize their mic's are still on. But sometimes D-list celebs intend to say things for publicity. Consider Kathy Griffin's set-up of an off screen heckler in Time's Square on New Year's Eve 2009.

On New Year's eve, Kathy Griffin may have been working on getting Anderson Cooper fired as in previous attempts, but hopefully CNN has had it with her polarizing behavior. Of course her left-wing agenda fits right in so things balance out. But what about us real people?

Clearly Kathy planned her vulgar comments. How? First she set the guy up by saying, "Why don't you get a job, buddy?.." Playing on his would be interjection, "I have a job." Which apparently he had no time for but meant to allow her to follow up with her insipid dig, "You know what I don't go to your job and knock the d--- out of your mouth."

Griffin didn't stop there. She insulted CNN staffers next as Anderson Cooper became increasingly uncomfortable. Maybe in New York this type of talk is acceptable, I hope not.

Readers--who do you think are the type to watch the ball drop on TV? It's not a bunch of drunk party-goers; it's families. Families watch the ball drop. We don't need a self proclaimed D list entertainer spewing man hating invective across the airwaves. Hopefully CNN will have enough sense to ban this woman from their network.

Oh did the ratings go up? Well forget everything I just said then. She'll be back next year and Cooper will then be second billing.
