Kathy Griffin Drops D-bomb on CNN (Video)

Things got a little risque on CNN during the New Year's Eve coverage and for once they weren't talking about Hillary Rodham Clinton. It's anybody's guess whether Kathy Griffin will be invited back next year. The always funny New York Post calls the story: HAPPY #*%! NEW YEAR TO YOU, TOO!


"Screw you," she told the heckler. "Why don't you get a job, buddy? You know what? I don't go to your job and knock the d- - - out of your mouth."

The raunchy exchange, which occurred well after the ball dropped at midnight, was received with guffaws by the camera crew. Co-host Anderson Cooper, who spent the night playing the role of straight man to Griffin's antics, then managed to break for commercial - although by that point, he could barely keep a straight face.

Cooper seemed to become increasingly uncomfortable with Griffin's off-color remarks, including her request to "get a pap smear from [CNN medical reporter] Dr. Sanjay Gupta," and her description of former CNN host Glenn Beck as a "heroin addict Mormon."
