Kathy Griffin, who lost a career in comedy because she posed with a fake severed head of Donald Trump, is still whining about it. The disgraced, unfunny D-lister told Politico:

“[Trump] absolutely used me as a tool to distract from his bad news of the day."

Huh??

So she posed with the decapitated likeness of the President of United States -- the most powerful man on the planet -- and he needed to use Kathy Griffin?

Politico published a story Tuesday called "What Happens When Trump Targets You on Twitter," which profiled Griffin as one of the President's "targets." As noted by Twitchy, Trump aimed and fired at Griffin thusly:

"Kathy Griffin should be ashamed of herself. My children, especially my 11 year old son, Barron, are having a hard time with this. Sick!"

Kathy Griffin should be ashamed of herself. My children, especially my 11 year old son, Barron, are having a hard time with this. Sick! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 31, 2017

Crying to Politico over the unjust damage to her career, Griffin lamented the impact of...Trump's tweet? Not the impact of her photo? Add to that insanity a ludicrous conspiracy theory, as Politico reported:

"In the days after Trump highlighted the photo, the Emmy Award-winning comedian was fired from CNN, where she was set to co-host the channel’s New Year’s Eve show alongside Anderson Cooper. She was dropped as a celebrity endorser for Squatty Potty. The Secret Service launched an investigation. Today, she says she still can’t book a gig anywhere in the United States.

Griffin blames the change in her status to the president personally driving the outrage machine. 'I think it would have been gone in a week without his tweet,' she admitted. 'Trump knows what would be perceived as something hysterical and he loves hysteria. There are millions of people who think I’m a member of ISIS to this day.'



"… according to Griffin, Trump’s response to the photo was a calculated move to distract from firing former FBI Director James Comey. 'It was very soon after the Comey firing,' she said. 'He absolutely used me as a tool to distract from his bad news of the day.'"

Riiight.

Unsurprisingly, Twitter had something to say about Griffin's version of her demise:

Is she trying to suggest that it's Trump's fault that she did a photo shoot of her holding Trump's severed head?

Guess who's starving for attention? https://t.co/hsf9fZEZBY — KC Frew (@KnoxvilleKC) December 27, 2017

Griffin may indeed be starving for attention. She may be forlorn; she may be depressed. But whether her career ever recovers, one thing she will definitely never be, is funny.
