Did she really just say that?

That was the question likely going through the minds of the people watching Kathy Griffin live on CNN's telecast from Times Square on New Year's Eve.

I don't even know what the "D" word is but I can't stand Kathy Griffin

What's the D-word?

Sheila J. Jan 2, 2009, 12:34pm EST

I agree with Apryl. Can't stand Kathy Griffin. The D word in question is a reference to male anatomy.

Being very liberal, she'll get away with it and not lose her job or sponsors. Unlike others who said the wrong thing and lost.

Is Kathy Griffin the new Sandra Bernhardt?

This is completely unprofessional of her.

LOL I love Kathy Griffin. She's hilarious.

People need to lighten up. I never understood why some words are "bad" and others are not. I mean,was there a committe that just decided these words are bad so people shouldn't say them? Doesn't make any sense to me. I don't think there are any bad words and if she said dick....LOL that is one of the mildest supposed bad words out there.

LOL And I'm not a Democrat. Ironic isn't it?

EM JAY (Gather Director of Chaos & Uprisings) W. Jan 2, 2009, 12:52pm EST

I don't think she's very funny. More like annoying.

"The D word in question is a reference to male anatomy. "

Dentures?

I cannot stand, or tolerate Kathy Griffin....she has a real "attitude" problem and is one disgusting individual.

I don't feel too bad, I didn't know what the D-word was either! LOL

i have 2 say that i don't want 2 hear children running around saying the d-word - but wen i think about it there seems 2 b far worse that k griffin could say/has said. anyway - she makes her living by shocking people - so she can hardly b meek and mild.....or even considerate i guess

In hiring her, the network had to know this was possible. That's what the 5 second lag is for -- though I don't suppose it applies easily to a New Year's Eve countdown.

now Kathy is one of those controversial comediennes..........
I love people that make you think before and after you laugh at their material........
sometimes though after too much thinking, the joke's not that funny.....kind of like Carlin, Pryor and Rock...........

I think the controversy is whether or not she's a comedienne or just a pathetic attention whore.

Well, there goes her squeaky clean image, I guess, lol.

I like Kathy. I've never thought of New Year's eve or CNN as being family friendly anyway. Unless you're going to a First Night celebration. But if you're going to watch Kathy you're going to get unpredictability. And it was advertised that way. Kathy said in one of the ads I saw that she was going to get Cooper fired.

I think she's a riot. I always laugh when I watch her. I agree with aislinn, and Lera

I think if any word is going to upset a person so badly that they have to flip out over it, that person should stay at home, with no media or visitors.

If I had known she was going to be on CNN I would have watched. I watched the stupid Dick Clark rocking news years eve. Uh oh --- I said the D word.

I was too busy watching them say the P word on the South Park marathon. (among many others) (the P word sometimes refers to a cat, but not that time.)
