Did this woman deserve this much attention?   She went kind of far, but at her point in her career what else is she going to do to get in the news.   

I'm just curious how much - if any - thought she put into this was.  

She had to know it was a bad idea, but OTOH people are overreacting.  She's not literally calling for trump to be beheaded.

Comedy was never Kathy Griffin's strong suit anyway, which is a sad thing to say about a comedian.
