My fanatical devotion to Kathy Griffin began with her bit part on ‘Medusa: Dare to be Truthful’ and the riotous way she so defeatedly muttered, “I’m so broke.” That was a brilliant spot-on spoof of Madonna’s ‘Truth or Dare’, and ever since then Griffin has been slowly ascending the pop culture mountain, and experiencing all the peaks and valleys such a journey entails. She was one of the first, and at the time only, celebrities who fully embraced a funny yet cutting critique of the awfulness that is our current President, and she got burned for doing what everyone now views as precisely what that monster deserves. After a widespread blacklisting and being almost entirely written off in Hollywood for several years, Griffin is finally getting the recognition and appreciation she has always deserved, and she’s taking that rightly-earned cachet to further point out the evils of this administration, and inspiring others to do the same. For all that, and her resilient hilarity in the face of those challenges, Griffin is crowned Dazzler of the Day. Check out her website here and see one of her live shows as they are always a good time.
