Go Kathy!

Finally watched Kathy Griffin’s Life on the D-List 2008 Season Finale. I give her such props. She’s a staunch Democrat, strongly opposed to the war in Iraq, and yet, last season she went to Iraq and Afghanistan to entertain the troops. And this year she went to the Walter Reed Army Hospital to meet-and-greet the injured soldiers (almost all of them amputees) and their families before putting on a show.


What an eye-opening experience to see exactly what the men and women defending our country have to go through. As Kathy said, traveling to the military bases and hospitals puts names and faces to the the numbers we see and hear about on the evening news.

Somehow Kathy kept her sense of humor while still creating an extremely emotional and touching episode. Kudos.

Yes, she’s bawdy and controversial and over-the-top. And I love her!
