Comedian Kathy Griffin brought her “Life on the D-List” show to Sarah Palin’s home state Friday, skewering the former Alaska governor at a raucous show in Anchorage. Griffin was escorted on stage by Playgirl model Levi Johnston, who fathered a child with Palin’s oldest daughter and is involved in a child support battle with Bristol Palin. Earlier in the day in Palin’s hometown of Wasilla, Griffin said she went to her house and left a note inviting the Republican leader to the show. She asked the crowd to look around and see if anyone was doing a pageant wave. Griffin welcomed news that Palin is trying to shop a reality show or docudrama about Alaska. She called that a “gift from God,” all wrapped up with a ball on top. I just stopped by briefly on my way home. I did not introduce myself or interfere in any way because this was Kathy Griffin and Levi’s thing and I did not want to be a pest. I did take a few pictures with my crappy Olympus digital camera though. Here is a shot of Kathy signing copies of her book and schmoozing with the Alaska crowd, while Levi smiles and tries not to look a little embarrassed by the attention. Here is shot from the front. Levi looked like he was having an okay time, but Kathy was clearly having a blast! I saw the fifteen or so members of Kathy’s production team and I swear that most of them were just out of high school! I have never seen a younger group of assistants since my days reporting on theatre productions for my high school newspaper the Igaramkin (Look it up). Speaking of the very young assistants. I noticed that some of the young ladies were quite attractive, and a little bird told me that Levi was able to get his flirt on a few times. Shh, don’t tell Kathy!
