Can't these two funny ladies get along?! While on the HDNet talk show Naughty But Nice with Rob, Sandra Bernhard used the opportunity to rip Kathy Griffin a new one.

"I've never been a fan of Kathy Griffin — you know that. Every time she sees me, she hides. If I saw her, I would tell her to find a new angle. Just to say someone is stupid, that's not crafting an idea. I think things through. I absorb culture and put it out in layers. You know what's funny, I was standing outside the Gansevoort Park Hotel looking at the sky and thinking the Kardashians live here. I mean, what do they do when they are with a man? Do they just sit there and say, 'I think you're so hot?' Do they touch them? Do they go straight for the genitals? Is it really that sexual? Do they just do that for TV? At the end of the day they just plug them in to recharge them. And then they wake up in the morning and go 'ah!'"

I don’t know Sandy, doesn’t seem like your Kardashian-bashing tirade is the next brave new world in comedy. Bashing the Kardashians is the new using Charlie Sheen’s “winning!” – everybody is doing it and the subject’s getting old. The Kardashians are useless humans who have no known talents – we get it!

Maybe Sandra, who was comedy’s next big thing in the ‘80s and ‘90s, is just jealous of Kathy’s immovable comedy clout? Maybe her whole rant is just a shtick for jokes? Either way, these two talented ladies should just drop their painted talons and go in for a wacky hug.
