She just gave a half assed apology cause sponsors were about to start leaving her. Otherwise, she knew what she was doing so....

This body language assessment of the apology pretty much sums up how BS of an apology it was.

Griffin’s photo caught the attention of the U.S. Secret Service, which noted that such “threats against [our] protectees receive the highest priority of all of our investigations.”
"Evaluating" is Parsel-Tongue for "views will forget all about this - we LOVE Kathy and her photo".

A better question is ..... Will Al Franken keep his Date with Kathy Griffin on July 7 to promote his book at the Anneberg Center? Perhaps they will use Griffin's Beheading Poster of the President of the United States as a Stage Backdrop. I've no doubt the crowd would love it and applaud loudly.

The Wallis and Writers Bloc Present Senator Al Franken In Conversation with Kathy Griffin on Friday, July 7 at 7:30pm

Franken and Griffin will also hold “an intimate discussion about Franken’s new book ‘Giant of the Senate'” on July 7 at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills. Tickets for an evening with Senator Al Franken are currently available only through subscription.
Remaining single tickets will be available for purchase on Friday, June 2, for $50 and $60, and include a copy of Franken’s book Giant of the Senate.

Trump doesn't apologize for anything. Why should she?

If you haven't already, please watch the link in the first quote. It is a video of the filming of the photo shoot. In that video she says, "We have to move to Mexico today 'cause we're going to go to prison, federal prison." She then says, "...'cause we're not surviving this."

She knew exactly what the outcome of this would be, and she didn't care. She got her extra 15 minutes.
Wow - that comment might just land Griffin and her photographer in Prison.
Threatening the President of the United States
Her comment shows she knew exactly what she was doing and that it was punishable by Statute.

There are a couple of photos of Kathy Griffin sans makeup floating around the Internet that will send normal humans running from the room in terror. The woman (and I'm being generous with that term, obviously) is absolutely hideous without a battalion of makeup artists slathering the pancake on with trowels.

This is the problem. Lack of adult behavior on both sides. All we get is 6 year old finger pointing "he did it first" behavior from both Ds and Rs. We have ourselves to blame for the children we have elected to represent us, and unfortunately it seems like they actually represent the 6 year old views of many Americans.

I'm all for free speech, however, for me, this was disgusting...and let me tell you, if someone would have done that with Obama, I would have felt the same way.

What I'm seeing coming from liberals is scary....and all because their team lost....I just cannot believe the immoral words and violence and they way they hover looking for anything he does wrong, and if he doesn't do anything wrong, believe me they will find something, no matter how inappropriate it is.

I will never vote for another liberal b/c of this, and this also shows, bad parenting....parents that gave these people their own way when they were kids and they just cannot accept defeat like a team player. And all because we've got someone who wants to enforce our laws?

Oh and apologies just don't cut it....I'm sorry, but they mean nothing, and they are only doing it, b/c they realize they've crossed the line....

same with late night TV shows....I won't watch them or the news, b/c they are ridiculous....and an educated monkey could see thru their agendas.

what bothers me, is, "What brings someone to cross the line like that". It's actually very bad immoral behavior, and it seems to me, with all the protesting, and all this BS on late night TV and the Media, America is loosing some very valuable morals. You just don't do or say things like that.

I was appalled at her childish behavior. It was so inappropriate for some one her age to seek attention like that. I'll never go to one of her shows; in fact; I wouldn't be surprised if this was a career-ending move. It was not funny. she's never been funny; I'm disgusted with her. I am also not a Republican.
