Kathy Griffin: My Hero!
Kathy Griffin, the stand up comic and reality tv star, just got bonus points from me. I recently saw her episode of “My Life On The D-List” where she visited troops that were injured in the war at the Walter Reed Army Hospital in D.C. She also paid a visit to Anderson Cooper on CNN this week where she discussed her time with soldiers who are struggling to rebuild their lives and recover from their tragedies. It was so moving to see them laugh when she cracked her off color jokes. She even got Anderson to crack up live on his show…no small feat. On her show last season she visited the soldiers in Iraq while putting herself in harms way…literally boms were going off. She brought smiles to the faces of those putting themselves in harms way everyday. I think she is one of the funniest women in comedy and she is truly inspirational in her acts of kindness. More celebrities should follow her lead. The D-List is on my A-List. Keep me laughing Kathy!

Generally, I can take her in limited doses before her act wears thin and I switch the channel. I do appreciate her cheering up injured soldiers. She should be applauded for that.
Most celebrities do not care about anything other than themselves. I really do not undertstand why so much attention is paid to them. It only reinforces and enlargens their already huge egos.
