Batty Kathy Banned From CNN

Update:  CNN denies Rob Shuler's item.

"We don't think Fox News will be knocking down your door now that you're available!"  Popeater's Rob Shuler.  "She was a total embarrassment to the network that calls themselves 'The Most Trusted Name in News.' Even Anderson (Cooper, her co-host) thinks it's time to say goodbye to Kathy," a CNN insider tells me.Not only did the potty-mouthed redhead drop the F bomb on live TV, she also made not-so-funny jokes about needing a "bump" of cocaine and asked Cooper if he pleasured himself while looking in the mirror. As sexy as the Silver Fox is ... that's just too much, Kathy."

Now, had the Anderson/Kathy dirty duo been a NewYear's Eve ratings success, maybe CNN would be crooning a different tune.

CNN suits knew precisely what they were getting with a live Kathy Griffin.  The Griffin/Anderson combo generated media buzz after Kathy purposely blurted the word "dick" while ringing in 2009.

The obviously-rehearsed 2010 CNN-vetted Kathy "fuck" backlash was too much.  Kathy took the hit.  We're going to have to leave it there...
