You effed up - possibly a career ending eff up. Get on with it you wash up and try to bring things to a graceful, quiet end. Oh, sorry - it's Kathy Griffin, so we can't expect a gracious or eloquent end. Kathy, All you did was provide fodder to the dark side with this - you don't have enough gravitas or smarts to reel this one back so just stop. Please.

career out of this silly episode with Trump. He isn't worth an apology let alone any groveling.

If he sells our country out like it looks like he is doing than being decapitated, in effigy, will be the least of his worries.

15. You have a right to free speech, not free from consequences

She's taking the same beating the Duck Dynasty and Duggar idiots did, of which we had no problem with.

They lost their shows. Right wing idiots whined "What about free speech?".

A business deciding they don't want to do business with you because of your actions has nothing to do with free speech.

Don't fall into the same wrong argument.

The GOP is using footage of the incident in an anti-Ossoff ad. What she did not only hurt (or killed) her career, but it is fodder for one of the nastiest campaign ads I've ever seen.

after 45, but I found the image really revolting. I don't do well with violence no matter who's doing it or towards whom.

I hate when the right will defend the indefensible, and for me what Kathy did falls in that category. If she's really sorry - means it - then she will quietly slink away and not keep demanding more oxygen.
