From the Department of Red Ink: Official PalinSpeak Edits 101

By GottaLaff

What more can I say? Only that her staff most likely had to head out to a giant warehouse/box store in order to stock up on enough colored pencils to fulfill their duties. :

We asked V.F.’s red-pencil-wielding executive literary editor, , together with representatives from the and departments, to whip it into publishable shape. Here is the colorful result.

They had to insert the word "God". Yes, God apparently slipped her mind. Oh, and she got her presidents mixed up. I guess attending all those universities didn't pay off.

The other 7192592 pages can be found here. I didn't have the energy or inclination to read through them or take up space with pages upon pages of scribbled out PalinSpeak.

Moral of the story: Never mess with Obama's shorts.

VIDEO: Poor Anderson Cooper-- CNN Edits Kathy Griffin's Blue Moment

By GottaLaff

We go from a classy "West Wing" video to one from the other end of the spectrum. Wow. I wonder if Anderson Cooper's ever had this many cringe-worthy moments:

In the first 15 minutes of CNN's New Year's Eve Special, Kathy Griffin managed to antagonize, provoke and entertain in her own unrivaled way. Early comments included, "Can I get a pap smear from Dr. Sanjay Gupta?" "Has Ryan Seacrest been shot?" and, about former CNNer Glenn Beck, "He's a heroin addict Mormon."

But it was toward the end of the live two-hour special that Griffin really went blue. She was chastising a heckler for mocking her, saying, "Why don't you get a job buddy. You know, I don't go to your job and knock the d---s out of your mouth."

But TVNewser noticed that for the re-air (around 3:51amET) CNN edited out the moment, cutting to commercial break instead.

Here's the original, uncut, typically Griffin moment:

Real classy... with a Kapital K. Or should I say "D"?

I'd missed the "...out of your mouth" moment, since I was flipping back and forth to one of Rachel Maddow's more informative-yet-sedate half-hour specials. Way to spiff up a show, Kath.

And yes, Griffin's had her face lifted. She also had her eyes done seven years ago (I think that's the right number), and has been Botoxed repeatedly. She's said as much. I only mention this because I've been reading Comments elsewhere wondering about such things, although it seems pretty obvious.
