Kathy Griffin loves Sarah Palin... as a target for her caustic humor. Hard to blame Griffin, really. When someone provides her so much material to work with, expecting her to avoid it is asking a bee to ignore a field of flowers.

CNN decided to reunite Griffin with Anderson Cooper for its New Year's Eve show which airs Friday. Mind you, she was told she'd not be welcome back after she kept dropping the F-bomb. Looks like something changed.

Kathy Griffin's remarks on Sarah Palin were made during an interview she gave Popeater last week. She first cleared up the New Year's Eve show re-hiring, though, saying "the world's Anderson Cooper" told her there'd been a change in management. Explains that.

Popeater asked Kathy Griffin if she's watched "Sarah Palin's Alaska." She responded that she watched the first one, "...then I had to have someone hold my hair because I was vomiting the whole time." Never said she was tactful, did she?

But Sarah Palin interviews are something Kathy Griffin refuses to miss, because "...they have such thinly veiled contempt." As opposed to Griffin who wears as many veils over her contempt as a stripper at the end of her act.

It should be noted that Griffin has a sort of admiration for Palin, if only as material. Palin's apparent bitterness despite her supporters and tendency to paint herself as a victim in the face of making so much money off of being herself is candy to a comedian like Kathy Griffin.

It's doubtful Sarah Palin will watch CNN's New Year's Eve, regardless of who's on it. But you know if Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin could talk her into showing up, it'd be a ratings spike for the show and a source of talk for days.
