Self-proclaimed D-list star Kathy Griffin is giving props to Bristol Palin for her A-list jabs.

"I was thrilled," she told our Jason Kennedy at Tuesday's premiere of Justin Bieber: Never Say Never about the less-than-complimentary remarks made about her by Sarah Palin's daughter during E! News' "very hard-hitting, very 60 Minutes-style, in-your-face interview."

"You know, it's a long time coming," she admitted. "I mean, come on, I dated her baby daddy, I've made fun of her family. It's about time."

Not to mention, it's hard to complain when it all feels like a hug from baby Jesus.
