Kathy GriffinON SARAH PALIN:
Sarah Palin was such an extreme character. She's such an idiot and such a moron. She's just so stupid. I'm so tired of people saying she's a strong woman. She's not strong, she's just obnoxious. There's a different between someone who's just ballsy and stupid and someone who is a strong woman. I think it's great that Tina and other people shed light on that fact. I also thought that Sarah Palin made a mistake by trying to play the gender card with people like me and Tina. Just because you're a woman doesn't mean we're going to vote for you. Sorry!
ON MAKING FUN OF PRESIDENT OBAMA:
It's a place I don't want to go right now. It's just not there. These things have a way of obviously presenting themselves. It's not that I'm just a die-hard liberal that I could never make fun of a democrat. Believe me I could go on and on, on [former Illinois Governor] Rob Bogovich all day long. That guy should be on the MTV show “Tool Academy” and he should never get kicked out. What it comes down to is that some celebrities really lend themselves to my act and some of them just don't.
So you don't have targets that you go after for personal reasons?
No, it's not like I go gunning for certain celebrities. And I don't give certain celebrities free passes because I share their ideology. And in the case of Obama, there's just nothing there yet.
ON GETTING CNN BIG RATINGS AND STICKS IT TO
HER FORMER BOSSES AT E!
I read in Variety that CNN had regrets but I don't think so. They tripled their ratings! I'm sure Ted Harbert who fired me from the E! Network sees that I'm tripling ratings for another cable network and if anyone has regrets it's him.
