Scott Brown Upset At Kathy Griffin For Calling His Daughters 'Prostitutes'

You know what's a funny joke to make about photos of Sen. Scott Brown with his attractive daughters? That the daughters are his "prostitutes." Give Kathy Griffin credit for this very creative joke! Scott Brown doesn't get it, though.

Apparently this happened on Kathy Griffin's Bravo show, I'm Not Very Famous or whatever:

Griffin is shown in a video identifying a photo of Brown, in which she makes a joke about the Brown daughters.

"Scott Brown, who is a senator from Massachusetts, and has two daughters who are prostitutes," she tells CNN anchors John King and Dana Bash.

Okay, it's kind of funny that she said it to two CNN people, who are terrified of jokes and opinions or anything resembling human behavior, really.

Anyway, Scott Brown is all upset now, which is understandable if your daughters have been called whores on national television.

"People can call me any name they want, but families are off limits," Brown said. "I love my daughters Ayla and Arianna very much, and any parent would be proud to have them as children. Kathy Griffin and Bravo ought to be ashamed of themselves."

Ashamed? Their stunt just worked! But yeah.

1. Back when he said "they were available" - we just didn't know for what... nt

[UTUSN]

5. Bingo!1 However, the hand-wringing ensues!1 n/t

[Hannah Bell]

15. +100. if he's so concerned about his daughters, maybe he should watch his own mouth & the kind of

photos he releases to the public --




"The Senator needs to spend more time explaining why he continues to vote against extended jobless benefits that affects 300,000 MA unemployed and less time responding to comediennes' jokes."

2. Kathy Griffin...still not funny...

[louis-t]

4. She really isn't.

[LostinVA]

7. I think she is, and she's a terrific GLBT ally

I also watched that episode the other night, and the comment is much less "bad" within the context of her "how to act on The Hill" briefing by John King and Dana Bush.

[UTUSN]

9. Yip haHA, Gawker's crack take on "CNN...terrified of anything ...human behavior"!1 n/t

[emilyg]

8. Never funny.

[monmouth]

22. True. I just don't get her popularity. Crude and rude comes to mind..n/t

12. True story: One time there was this Sex-in-City-movie thread and I made the mistake of

making a negative remark and the O.P. replied, "This is a thread for fans of the topic, people who want to share in our kind of fun..."


Just sayin' ...

14. Her delivery is actually hilarious

Even Dana Bimbo Bash was laughing- you know how hard that is to accomplish? :rofl:

20. What's funny is how uncomfortable she makes Anderson Cooper on New Year's Eve. n/t

[davidinalameda]

25. you know she's never going to be invited back to CNN

since she dropped an F bomb on the NYE show

[louis-t]

3. Both gorgeous kids.

[ThatPoetGuy]

6. The difference is...

Letterman's swipe at Bristol was based on Bristol's actions.

I don't know how those two young women deserved this comment.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

10. Their own father made a point --

of "offering" his daughters during a campaign event. It went over really badly, like he was trying to pimp them out. That's what Griffin's joke is in regards to.

[Dawson Leery]

17. That is is.

[Ian David]

23. Agreed.

"You! How much for your daughters?"

[MilesColtrane]

11. I'm not a fan.

[xchrom]

13. God I LOVE Kathy Griffin and that was hysterical! Nt

[joeybee12]

16. You offer your kids up for apparently anything...

...and you reap what you sow.

[LargeGreenSpider]

18. Oh, yeah, senator ...

they're freaking librarians.

[Ian David]

19. A whole bunch of people just went, "Kathy WHO? What show? When's it on?" n/t

[foxfeet]

21. If that poor girl is named Ayla after the "heroine" in "Clan of the Cave Bear,"

being referred to by Kathy Griffin as a prostitute is the least of her worries.

[Bitwit1234]

24. Why is it republican men think that it is the responsiblity of

republican women to look HOT. Is that cause they know most of them don't have a brain in their head, you know like Palin, Angle, McMahon.

[UTUSN]

26. The "Stepford Wives" is a Rethug thang. n/t
