Kathy Griffin’s Cartoonish Mockery Of Sarah Palin As Tea Party Candidate On 'Glee'

(By Matt Schneider, Mediaite) - The ongoing feud between comedian Kathy Griffin and Sarah Palin continues with Griffin portraying a character on last night’s Fox hit show 'Glee' that looked remarkably similar to Palin and sounded like a mix of past Tea Party candidates. Wearing a red dress and glasses, and being labeled a “Twitterer,” the intention to mock Palin was anything but nuanced. Now it will be interesting to see whether Palin has another comment on the work of Griffin, who she previously dubbed a “has-been comedienne.”



Kathy Griffin's character: “I would like to say I am not a witch. But, um, I think it’s fair to ask: Do we have written proof that these kids were born in the United States of America? . . . The last thing we need to do is send a message to children that ‘Gay is okay.’ It is not a legitimate lifestyle, and last time I checked, it’s not in the Constitution.”
