Kathy Griffin to play Sarah Palin on 'Glee': 'She's a 50-year-old adult bully'
Sarah Palin can take a joke, but not when it comes to her kids. Kathy Griffin has been sparring with the Alaskan family for what feels like forever, and now she's set to play a Palin inspired Tea Party candidate on "Glee." Talk about perfect casting.
In an appearance on Fox News, Palin takes a few jabs at the comedianne in the spirit of a true momma bear.
"Kathy Griffin can do anything to me or say anything about me," Palin says behind a big smile. "She's a 50-year-old adult bully."
Continuing, "She is kind of a has-been comedianne and she can do those things to me. I would just ask for respect of my children."
So what was Griffin's worst Palin family offense?
"She had stated on CNN that her news years resolution was to destroy my 16-year-old daughter," Palin says of daughter Willow. "That takes it a little too far. Kathy, pick on me! Come up to Alaska and pick on me but leave my kids alone."
When it comes to Palin impressions, we're pretty sure Tina Fey will still reign supreme, but you better believe we'll be watching "Glee" to see how much Fox let's Griffin get away with.

Oh Please !
It takes one to know one !
And a hideous bully at that.
Hiring Griffin is a bone-headed blunder
by the progressives behind Glee.
You cannot find lower class.
Kathy Griffin represent the lowest common denominator. Actually, she represents the basement of the lowest common denominator.
Kathy Griffin a has been? LOL! Kathy just walked away from her big hit (and lucrative) My Life on the D-List and this month is on Broadway for 10 nights with her stand up show.
Sarah is a total white trash loser and needs to realize she will NEVER become President.
Kathy G. is in fact a comedienn and she rocks at it otherwise she wouldnt get this kind of reactions from nutheads tea party people like this hipocrete lady... white precious! hahaha priceless
You can't tell comedians to respect your children when you exploit them on national television via your reality show... they're kind of fair game, especially when they are such vibrant train wrecks.
I don't particularly care for either of them and if they both dropped off the face of the planet tomorrow I'd buy a cake.
Did she add that Griffin was an ugly pig? Because she's an ugly pig ya know.
@ Tom
"My Life on the D-List" was never a BIG hit.
Obama's kid has Marfan syndrome now and the other is fat now that's funny.
