Motherland

Look out! Mama Grizzly is on the trail of comedienne Kathy Griffin following Griffin's target practice at Mama's cuddly little darlin' Bristol. The very idea that a comic might take a few shots (er, bad word there), have Bristol in the crosshairs (uh, wow, it's not easy to be PC. Let's just call Bristol the focus of a joke or ten from Kathy's spit-wit) - at Mama's girl is just too much for Mama Grrrr to bear. (OMG!)

For Gawd's sake, it was bad enough that Kathy went out on a few heavily publicized "dates" with Bristol's ex, Levi Johnson. Wow! That musta been quite a whack on Sarah's - er, Bristol's smile! Bristol Palin is a private person, you know. A mother ("out of wedlock" - attention Mr. Huckabee); not a newborn TV and radio public personality. She's off limits, Kathy! Doncha know better than to piss off someone who shoots Moose for sport? You're so tiny it's totally unfair! Mama'd just stomp on you with her combat boots and be done with it.

Uh, Sarah, now that your Fox News allies are losing ground in the ratings wars on TV and radio, don't you have something better to espouse to the world than whining over Kathy Griffin who insults everyone and everything with a glee you may never experience while you practice the art of deflection on your own shortcomings? So, what exactly did Kathy say that has you in a dizzy tizzy?

Kathy has been weighing-in on Bristol's weight issues, and crossed a line by commenting on 16 year-old Willow Palin as a joke replacement for Sarah and Bristol. Well, that part wasn't terribly bright, but thus far I haven't heard any Willow jokes. What I have read/heard is Senior Palin suggesting that Kathy drop by Alaska for a duel of some sort...if I correctly read between-the-lines of the quote (just give it a Google and you'll read all about it).

Young children of public figures need not become fodder for a quick laugh, thus I understand part of Palin's concern. The thing is, though, when you step out on that gory political stage and shoot incomprehensible stupidities from your hip like you did over the weekend saying that Obama is "inexperienced" (as if you and your lot have handled your own public service positions with brilliant decisions) your skin has to grow a layer or two, which, thus far, appears to be made out of melting snow.

Writing of mothers, just for Monday flogging fun, I thought a picture of The Happiest Mother In the World, Katie Homes, would be fitting as an attention grabber. She does protect her little Suri with the fringe on the top of her gowns, but life within the Halls of Tomitology have brought barely a sincere smile from Katie since more than a silent birth descended on her once pretty mouth.

Hey Kathy G! It's time to get back to your snark on the Cruise-Control. At 5, Suri is still using a pacifier. Methinks Tom puts one in Katie's mouth too - when no one is looking - except at their marriage contract.
