It's in the details. Or maybe just right flat out there where I can't see it.

I've mentioned before how I have a tendency to not read a situation correctly [if you're not going to click through, it's about the time I missed the casual racism during a job interview] and so don't quite grasp what is going on until much later.

Something similar happened today.

I was reading Wonkette because it is AWESOME, and I ran across this article where Sarah Palin calls Kathy Griffin a "half-been bully" and I thought, well, that's weird, because while I'm not a fan of Kathy Lee Gifford, what with the incessant perkiness, I wouldn't call her a bully.



See what happened there?





I read Kathy Griffin and saw

I know, right? NOT Kathy Griffin.  But this is what was in my mind all day.
And I couldn't quite get my brain around this.  I mean, I'm not a big follower of either person [what? say it's not so!], but I was under the assumption that Kathy Lee Gifford and Sarah Palin were on the same page.  It was a bit of a head-scratcher, but I figured maybe Kathy Lee was wasted on the Today show and got a bit carried away and you know, mistakes are made. 

While I didn't spend my day dwelling on this conundrum, it did flit through my mind from time to time.

And then later, I was reading Jezebel and there was yet another link to this contretemps between Kathy Griffin and Sarah Palin which I again looked at because I thought maybe there would be more information on why the feud had started.  Had Sarah Palin insulted the Carnival Cruise Line?  Had Frank Gifford slept with Sarah Palin?  Had Kathy Lee decided to run for office or was she moving to FoxNews?  Did Cody and Bristol get in a fight?  WHO KNEW???

I read through the article again, and was a bit surprised that Kathy Lee Gifford was also feuding with Elizabeth Hasselback. Again, not a fan of either person OR either show, but she's the dumb conservative one on The View, right?  They're a match made in heaven, those two!

And then, after rereading the article again, and rereading the Wonkette article again, it FINALLY dawned on me that it wasn't Kathy Lee Gifford, but Kathy Griffin who was feuding with Sarah Palin.  Which makes a LOT more sense.

New post up at Secret Society of List Addicts - I talk about being a grown-up.  You can, too!

ALSO, have I mentioned the whole RAW PHOTOS CONTEST?  Because seriously, enter this contest.  Show me What Makes You Laugh.  I really want to know.

    Hilarious. Because you wouldn't be far off if KLG had a bit too much of the Wednesday Wine segment and let loose.

    I love that 10 am hour -- it's a bit like a train wreck (an empty train, where no one is killed), and I can't take my eyes off it.

    KLG could totally take Palin.

    I do think Sarah Palin and Frank Gifford slept together so it's quite possible they are in feud, also, there's no telling what drunken Kathie Lee will say from one moment to the next. I'm waiting for the fab moment where she barfs on national tv.

    I realize I'm in the minority on this, but I hate Kathy Griffin.

    But, you know, to be fair: I also hate Sarah Palin, Frank Gifford and Kathie Lee Gifford and Elizabeth Hasselbeck and Matt Hasselbeck, too.

    I am an equal opportunity hater.

    I do this, I get a person stuck in my head, and the story doesn't make sense, and then my poor husband has to SHOUT in my face, "WHO are you thinking of??"

    Oh..Oh...her??? No wonder it didn't make any sense...

    I have a very bad habit of making these mistakes FACE TO FACE. Like, someone will walk in my office that I know, but I don't see often, and I will totally associate them with someone else I know but don't see often, and start talking to them as though they ARE this other person. It usually takes 5 minutes of long pauses, puzzled responses, and confused looks before I finally realize my mistake and then oh how red my cheeks. Except not really because I'm so good at subterfuge. What the hell is subterfuge. I have no idea. But I am totally really good at it. So glad I stopped by, Chalupa. Great post, as usual.

    I can't understand Sarah Palin's accent or her hair...or her maps.
