More news, Kathy Griffin, everybody knows this, the bloody head she held up.
I'm going to say this, and some people think by even talking about it you're
creating publicity
for her.
I'm not creating publicity for Kathy Griffin.
She's the only comedian that I've ever gone to their show a full hour and I
didn't laugh.
That's a true story.
This is about seven years ago I went or eight, could have been eight years ago
I didn't laugh
at all.
She's not for me.
Her type of comedy.
I get it.
But I thought that this was just hack.
I thought it was just, you're holding up a bloody head of the president.
Get a life.
You've made your money in this country and show some gratitude.
You don't have to show it to Donald Trump, but show it to the fact that that's
the president
for right now.
That's who the president is.
And I don't care who it is.
I think that as an American you have some responsibility to at least just go
along with it.
And I just think she could have come up with something much better or funnier.
To me, she's not funny.
And to me, I just thought that that was un-American.
That's kind of the feeling that it left me with.
You know, and I'm kind of just sick of all the Trump.
I'm just, I think the Trump jokes are just hack.
It's like, we get it.
Like, you don't like him.
Okay, great.
You know, I mean, I voted for Obama twice.
I wasn't a huge Obama fan, you know, but I was inspired by what he was talking
about.
I think Obama did some good.
I think he was a great example.
I also think Obama was kind of a pussy when it came to a lot of stuff, to be
honest.
Sorry to use that language.
I felt like he didn't really have any balls, you know.
I don't think he did a lot to inspire black America.
For me, that's just my perspective.
You're like, well, Theo, you're not black.
You're right.
I'm not.
But I can still have a point of view.
A lot of my black friends have felt the same way.
I think he's a great speaker.
I think he's a great orator.
I think he sounded amazing, no doubt.
He looked good in pictures.
Beautiful family.
Beautiful daughters.
Probably a great hoopster.
But to me, he was all talk.
He was more of a celebrity than he was a man.
I would look at him as more of a celebrity than I would as a man.
So, I don't know.
The Kathy Griffin thing, I just didn't laugh, you know.
It wasn't funny to me.
I think she's more of a loud mouth.
And maybe she was a comedian at a time, but I've never seen her in a comedy
club.
Never seen her in any comedy club anywhere, except for the one time I went and
saw her at a theater.
And part of that is I'm just sick of the un-American attitude.
Like people saying that, oh, this country doesn't represent me and stuff like
that.
Maybe I'm old-fashioned or something, you know.
But like, I feel, hold on, the air conditioner just came on.
I've got to shut it off.
All right, I'm back.
But I feel like if you live in the country, you cash your checks here, then
have some gratitude, you know.
Have some freaking gratitude, you know.
If you don't like what's going on, then find some ways to change it.
Be part of the solution, you know.
Shut the fuck up and contribute, all right?
You don't have to make it better.
You're not going to make it better by acting like you're not part of this
country.
If you don't want to be part of the country, then go.
Go out for a few years and come back.
Nobody's doing that.
You see what I'm saying?
Everybody's anti-America, but they're not leaving here.
So it just kind of makes me upset, you know.
And you can say, well, Theo, you're naive.
You know, you still believe in some type of an American ideal or American dream.
You know, I don't know how clearly I feel on some of that.
But I do feel like we're fortunate enough to live here.
We're blessed to live in this country.
We should act like it.
We should act like it, you know.
And if something we don't like, find a more constructive way than just by sheer
hatred, you know.
I just don't get it.
