Comedian Kathy Griffin will guest star in an upcoming episode of the hit show Glee. She will play a sectionals judge described as a recent Tea Party candidate and home schooler - a Sarah Palin type.

Palin responded to the news of the Glee episode by saying that Griffin is a 50-year-old adult bully, a has-been comedienne.

Palin said that she just wants Griffin not to discuss or mock her kids, as she has stated on CNN that her New Year's resolution was to destroy my 16-year-old daughter.

Palin is referring to when Griffin jokingly said, I've already gone for Sarah, Todd and Bristol obviously, but I think it's Willow's year to go down.

The hit FOX show has previously made jokes about Palin, but Ryan Murphy, the show's creator, said he wanted to be more sensitive to conservatives this season.

We've taken a couple of jabs at the right wing this year... so what I want to do with this character is have someone who Christian kids and parents can recognize and say, 'Oh look - I'm represented there, there!' If we're trying to form a world of inclusiveness, we've got to include that point of view as well, Murphy said.

Murphy was referring to a New Directions addition, which is intolerant of Kurt's homosexuality, that has not been introduced on the show yet.
