Janeane: An ‘I Hate Myself’ Production
by Burt PrelutskyI’m not of the opinion that a person has to be perfect in order to point out the failings of others, but liberals take it to such an extreme that you have to wonder if they have any self-awareness at all.
I mean, when someone like George Soros, who collaborated with the Nazis, compared George W. Bush to Adolf Hitler, am I the only one who wondered if he meant it as a compliment?
Or take Janeane Garofalo, who says stupid things with such regularity you might take her for a sulky teenager even though she’s 44 years old. Because she is an ignoramus and has the self-righteous attitude of an adolescent brat, she was a perfect fit for Air America, where she and Al Franken competed to see which of them could attract fewer listeners.
For those of you who have managed to go through life without ever having heard the nasty sound bites for which she’s best known, your good luck is about to run out.
On one occasion, she said, “Our country is founded on a sham. Our forefathers were slave-owning rich white guys who wanted it their way. So when I see the American flag, I go, ‘Oh, my god, you’re insulting me.’ That you can have a gay pride parade on Christopher Street in New York, with naked men and women on a float, cheering, ‘We’re here and we’re queer!’ — that’s what makes my heart swell. Not the flag, but a gay naked man or woman burning the flag. I get choked up with pride.”
Another time, she announced, “The world would be better off with multiple superpowers. When the Soviet Union was a superpower, the world was better off.”
I’m sure when she shared that thought with her fellow pinheads on New York’s upper Westside, there was a lot of solemn head nodding and people turning to one another, martini in hand, and saying, “That little girl has a damn good head on her shoulders.”
On the other hand, if she’d made such a moronic statement in Poland, Latvia, Czechoslovakia, East Germany or Hungary, I’d like to think she’d have gotten her block knocked off.
It’s usually difficult to figure out why anyone who grows up with all the advantages that go with being born in America and enjoying a moderately successful career, would hate the country as much as she does. But, at the risk of being tossed out of the layman’s psychiatric association, it’s hard not to view her as someone who has devoted her life to rebelling against mommy and daddy. After all, her mother worked as a secretary in the petrochemical industry and her father was an executive with Enron!
Not too surprisingly, Ms. Garofalo is a confirmed atheist, toured on behalf of Code Pink and campaigned for Howard Dean. Take that, Mom and Dad! For good measure, in the early 90s, she got married in a Vegas chapel. Whether she and the groom, a fellow named Robert Cohen, were or weren’t drunk at the time, they soon separated, although, for reasons of their own, never bothered getting divorced.
Although she came to be fairly well known because of her role in “The Truth About Cats and Dogs,” she claims she despised the movie because she regards it as anti-feminist. One wonders why, that being the case, she didn’t turn down the role after reading the script. But, for someone who is so vehement in her opinions about those she regards as hypocrites, the lady manages to cut herself a great deal of slack.
Ms. Garofalo is barely five feet tall, which meant that in “Cats and Dogs,” because the star was Uma Thurman, she often had to stand on a soap box in scenes with the six-foot tall actress. She must have enjoyed the experience, because in the 13 years since, she has rarely climbed down from her soap box.
Besides having had parents who worked in industries Ms. Garofalo hates, she isn’t too happy about the hand or, rather, the size and shape God dealt her. As she says about prepping to be a stand-up comedienne, “I was a 36C or D and at 5′1″, I knew that being a small person with big boobs standing in front of an audience was not going to be easy. It would be really hard to get people to pay attention to me without mocking me. Getting a breast reduction to prepare for my career was no different from people who work to get good grades to get into a good college to get into a good graduate school to get a good job. I went down to a B-cup, and it was the best thing in the world.”
Now, why would she assume people would mock her just because she was busty? Obviously, it’s because if she were the one sitting in the audience, she’d be the one snickering and heckling. On the other hand, it’s really just about impossible not to mock someone who compares studying hard in college and graduate school to going to a plastic surgeon one afternoon for a breast reduction procedure. Funny, but when I think of something to compare it to, the first thing that comes to mind is a nose job.
She has directed much of her anger over the years at society for putting pressure on women to conform to body image ideals. And yet in pursuit of a feature role in “Jerry Maguire,” she lost a good deal of weight, only to discover that Renee Zellweger had snagged the part.
One could almost feel sorry for her if she wasn’t such a nasty piece of work. When speaking about Sarah Palin, Garofalo said, “There is definitely something wrong about her.” I assumed she had something in mind aside from the governor’s being smart, attractive and happily married. But when she got down to specifics, the best she could come up with was that Gov. Palin was small-minded and mean-spirited, whereas she, herself, is obviously open-minded and a real sweetie pie.
When it comes to right-wingers in general, she brayed, “The reason a person is a conservative Republican is because something is wrong with them. That’s science — that’s neuroscience. You cannot be well-adjusted, open-minded, pluralistic, enlightened and be a Republican. It’s counter-intuitive.” That’s sure a lot of big words wasted only to prove what a small and petty mind she possesses.
About the recent tea parties, the all-seeing, all-knowing Garofalo, who naturally didn’t attend one, says, “Let’s be very honest about what this is about. This is not about bashing Democrats. It’s not about taxes. They have no idea what the Boston Tea Party was about. They don’t know their history at all. It’s about having a black man in the White House. This is racism straight up and is nothing but a bunch of tea-bagging rednecks. There is no way around that.”
I can’t help thinking that when the surgeon reduced her breasts, he got carried away and also removed most of her heart. She’s also a sell-out. How else to explain why she’d accept a role on “24,” portraying FBI Special Agent Janis Gold, whose mission is investigating terrorists?
But just maybe Janeane Garofalo isn’t quite as unaware of the sad truth about herself as she would have us believe. After all, it isn’t as if her production company woke up one day and decided to name itself I Hate Myself Productions.

Well Burt, Janeane has been in the "business" now since 1992 or so, has learned her lines perfectly and can stand toe to toe with Sean Penn, George Clooney, and all the other useful idiots out there. She has also garnered more ink with her tea party comments than anyone who actually participated. Sort of like Perez Hilton being for gay marriage. It's a giant "duh" ! If she hates her herself so much, imagine her public persona slurping up the bile of infamy and the resulting frisson she must savor.
We have got to ignore these cretins, they only serve to expose our rage, which doesn't make us look to attractive to those kids we're trying to attract.
But it was very funny anyway and she is such an unattractive version of comedienne.

That is beautiful. Yes hard core leftists are deep into self loathing and they project that self loathing onto the rest of us. I remember being at a pro troop rally at the outset of the Iraq Invasion. This Code Pinker shows up into our group with a camera. Now you would think if you were infiltrating a gathering of people who have half a mind to kick your flabby butt you would be incognito..oh not this paragon of human genius…noooooooooo.
She was wearing a fuzzy pink faux fur jacket, and she had her hair dyed nearly to match. We made sure she left without taking pictures. WHat are they going to do with the photos? Send them to the Code Pink Stasi? I mean really? But man she was HAWT! No wonder in retrospect why Garafalo hangs out with women like that.. Its a coven of Self Loathers.
“The reason a person is a conservative Republican is because something is wrong with them. That’s science — that’s neuroscience."
But math proves conservatives are better than liberals. Think about any math problem you've ever seen. The problem is always on the left. The solution is always on the right. I rest my case.

"I can’t help thinking that when the surgeon reduced her breasts, he got carried away and also removed most of her heart."
Nope, Burt, it was her brain.
Whom the gods would destroy, they first make ridiculous (or something like that). Garofalo makes herself ridiculous. Does anyone on the right or in the middle get irked over the stuff she says? I doubt it. Does anyone take anything she says seriously? Probably not. If the Lefties had a functioning neuron left between them, they'd gag this woman. If the Righties are smart, they'll Cindy Sheehan her and give her a forum anytime she wants because any sentient being who hears what comes out of her mouth would absolutely not want to be associated with a political ideology that tolerates her in their midst. She's a joke.

I happen to like short girls with big boobs much more than tall girls with none.
If she hadn't getthe the reduction i might have been distracted. Now i'm forced to actually pay attention to her words. All i see now is an angry bitter almost was.
I'd prefer the happines of boobs.

I LOVE IT!!!!! did you come up with that or do you remember the source? i feel an email to all my conservative friends coming on….
I came up with that one myself. Feel free to pass it on.
Oh, and if you must know how I came up with it, it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I was up late one night watching MIT's OCW videos about Multivariable Calculus. Because I would never be THAT nerdy. No sir. Not me.

I concur
One has to wonder if this "woman" is mildly retarded.
I have a theory, what if every lunatic like Penn and Clooney and Garafolo have a contest to see how insane they can behave before getting commited to the funny farm.
I stopped watching 24 because that no talent nutbag poisons every scene she's in with her feeble acting skills. I tried in the beginning this year to watch it but whenever Ms. Hairy Pits showed up I got a sharp pain in my common sense gland. The doc said to stop watching, read 2 books by Mark Levin and call him in the morning….
Our forefathers were slave-owning rich white guys who wanted it their way. So when I see the American flag, I go, ‘Oh, my god, you’re insulting me.’ That you can have a gay pride parade on Christopher Street in New York, with naked men and women on a float, cheering, ‘We’re here and we’re qweer!’ — that’s what makes my heart swell. Not the flag, but a gay naked man or woman burning the flag. I get choked up with pride.”
WOW! All that fear and self loathing inside of one raunchy, burnt out 'celebutard". Nice.
All of those lefty celebutards are probably cheering her on and yelling about free speech. Something they would NEVER stand up for if it was a conservative. Hence Miss USAs lack of support from the left. Hypocrites abound on the left.
Y'know, I used to think she was funny…and cute. Sigh. There goes another one.
I know that no one cares but I haven't watched an episode of 24 since her tirade against the tea parties. I guess I am an ignorant racist anyway.
Liberals truely believe they can establish a Utopia on earth and they've killed millions of people trying to prove it
There's no rage in Burt's piece, or any of the replies so far. The nice, compassionate people are looking at her as an unhappy, self-hating mess, and the rest of us are ignoring her (as we did all week) and are leaving for work.
Sorry ladies but, i must agree, she is not nearly as enjoyable to look at as she could have been.
My wife has a theory: big boobs makes it easier to overlook many other flaws.
With Janeane we are left with seeing her anger from across the room
Sorry Burt, don't mean to infer you are raging, it must be my displaced rage at the whole upside down state of things
I have been wondering, myself, at what her 'issue' is….and Burt nails it….SHE IS SELF LOATHING AND HATING AND THAT JUST ABOUT SAYS IT ALL.
You must first love yourself ….therin lies her view on life.
Aside, I am looking forward to her character being anhilated, totally, by the Jack Bauer character….((gives meaning to my life.))
I'd have to agree with her – a little, mind you – about the breast reduction comment. She probably would get comments about being busty. However, if that was her main reason for the breast reduction (as opposed to, say, shoulder pain) then she needs councelling. Most women I know – myself included – would simply ignore them or verbally slap them down. Serious surgery seems a little extreme, and it's not like getting good grades at all.
The rest of what she says is incredibly stupid. If she had good, logical arguments in favour of her convictions, she would not feel the need to dismiss her opponents by saying that they're brain damaged racists. Bacause kuh-LEER-ley people can't object to banprupting their great grand children, or worry about national security, or believe that, while slavery and misogyny are always terrible, it was the US that did more to end and limit these evils than some whiney, over privileged white liberal, or the communist ideology of which she is so fond.
It has nothing to do with her being an atheist (secular conservatives do exist, you know) it's just that she's stupid and trying to prolong her career.
I'm with you. It is amazing how quickly a person's attractiveness diminishes with certain behaviors.
You should see the unrated version on pay per view.
I am so tired of people who denounce the Founders on the slave-owner meme. They really need to learn their history. Most of Founders disliked slavery and would have done away with it if they could, but they knew they would never get the Colonies to unite under the Constitution if they held firm on the issue of slavery. They did feel that Americans would never countenance slavery permanently due to the language of the Founding Documents, and so they pulled the Union together and trusted that their descendents would do what they knew was right and self-evident according to Natural Law.
The modern teaching to discredit the Founders and thus, the Constitution and all it stands for by using the slavery argument among others is just one more way the left seeks to weaken our resolve to embrace the freedoms and liberties the Founders attempted to bequeath to us via the COTUS.
I don't know about the self-loathing part but if you look at Penn, JG, Sarandon, Streisand and the rest, these guys seem absolutely misearble and they also like to revel in it.
What is the deal with that. They get money to entertain folks (remember the court jesters of old) and a nice home in the Hills. You think they would be light about SOMETHING? In past cutlures, if you did not make the king laugh he cut off your head. In the USA, they give you a liberal venue to be upset about something.
And BTW-where is that big tax increase on the RICH that BO promised. Not gonna happen.
There, she said it: she hates America in general and considers our flag an insult.
That explains a lot about her comments regarding the Tea Party protests.
From now on, I will refer to that woman as "Inane Garofalo" (not that I haven't been doing so already!)
Remember, Inane Garofalo considers this country to be a sham.
"Gov. Palin was small-minded and mean-spirited, whereas she, herself, is obviously open-minded and a real sweetie pie."……
Now you all know I don't get scriptual much……..
"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"
Seems like there are a lot of GOOD things being portrayed as BAD these days !!!!!!
That woman takes stupidity to a new level !!!!!!
Give me a break! A set of 38DDs could not make this woman more palatable!
Well said, show me something good and just and I'll show you 10 left-wing extremist nutbags like Garafolo that will whine and complain about it.
Then I'll show you the TV show that lets them do it on the air.
TrueBlue. Many of us are not good at remembering the references. Can you provide them? (Even if they are out of your triple combination).
That goes for anyone, i'd love to see the references if you would. Koran, Bible, Nostradomus what ever.
Thank you
I would say we mostly loathe racist rednecks, especially those who support the massacre of 87,000 Iraqis.
No, but at least we'd…
What was that, Honey?
My wife says that the rest of my statement is: nevermind
You're aiming for a record aren't you. An all time low that is.
It is Feelings that matter now, and she feels good that she can be so angry that the party she supports is power. It feels good to kick the other party that is out of power. It gives her the ability to express herself in a way she has not been able to do for quite some time. It turns out that she is able to come out of the closet and let the world know she is nothing more than a cheap school yard bully.
What does she really add to the conversation. Rants cheap rants. Is there any wisdom in what she says? I have found none. She is a typical control freak in the most classic form. When she gets what she wants, she is very unhappy. She is just another Soulless pitiful human taking up space and trying to get as much attention as people will give her to inflate a soulless ego that can never be inflated.
Dude, it is time for some new material.
I've heard this one before.
You stop that smutty math talk right now! Calculus indeed…shameful.
It's too bad you gave up on 24. Garofalo has barely been in the last several episodes. I'll bet she probably has no more than 2-3 minutes screen time, at most, per episode. They could have just hired a completely unknown actress out of central casting to fill this part for as much time as the character is onscreen.
If she still had the boobs she'd be a different person. I swear. She's made such an effort to de-feminize herself, from the boobs, to the tattoos and the glasses. I'm not sure what her goal is. I can only assume she thinks it makes her seem intellectual. But I have found that if you have a strong intellect, your appearance doesn't matter as much as you think. When I was younger I used to hear I thought you were just going to be a dumb blond– until I got to know you, a lot. But people get over their initial impressions pretty quickly if you have some substance there. Apparently Garofolo is nothing more than an empty facade. She should have kept the boobs.
While in high school, I had to deal with a bully that I pitied. He was more of a dork than I was in those days, but was egged on by a couple of the jocks to hit me whenever they needed a laugh, at both of us dork's expense. I took it for quite some time, asking him not to hit me, why was he looking for approval from those two jerks, etc. Nothing worked, until I finally got fed up and decked him. It sent him to the nurses office needing multiple stitches and I felt rather bad about that. I confronted the two jerks and asked them if they wanted some – they shut up and didn't bother me or the "bully" any more. Maybe they also felt a little guilty about the results themselves – I actually became friends with one of them later in life. Many of these idiotic liberals are like my bully – looking for acceptance from the beautiful people by being the beautiful people's outlets. It tells me that the beautiful people are self-indulgent creatures that only find self-satisfaction through other people's misery, and cowards for not stepping forward to take charge of the misery-making themselves. On the other hand, (sometimes) the bullies are clueless and need some kind of a wakeup call. Maybe not in the form of a left hook, but something that could shake their belief system to the core, hopefully not something like another 9/11. But in regards to Gr-awful-O (loved that one – thanks to whoever came up with it) she seems to be incorrigible. I think that the only way to deal with these hopeless types is through laughter – don't take them seriously, trivialize them and their inane beliefs, pat them on their heads and send them on their way.
And the leftwing fascist moron proves my point. Hmmmm antifascist would you care to go public and I mean with your face and real name attached to that and say it to lets say a Marine, Soldier or SPEC OPS guy who has actually been there? Or better yet, their wives? I'd pay money to see how you my teeny tiny coward would fare.
And oh btw…..if I am such a fascist why do I not care what you say and would defend your right to make a total public jack@ss of yourself and yet you and your fellow flying monkeys denegrate, lie and name call and try to end the first amendment? See the fascist here darlin is teh face you see in the mirror everyday. Sucks doesn't it? All that hate filled self loathing…..
She is angry because her best role was in 1994's Reality Bites. Her reality, that bites, is that if she weren't such a crappy actress she wouldn't have been stuck doing bit parts in other people's movies since then.
Aw c'mon… I left out any reference to all the gratuitous derivatives and exponential integrals.
I think she blew with it the breast reduction. Now she can't even be in bad porno movies….
Great article Burt — and truly on the mark, as most of these outspoken celebrity lefties ARE miserable (yes, Bill Maher, I'm talking about you).
However, you missed the biggest reason Garofalo hates herself nowadays: for all her pandering to the Left, slagging Fox, etc., she had to take her "24" job — part of what libtards would call part of Rupert Murdoch's evil empire — because by her own admission she desperately needed work.
Just like she once was financially supported by her parents despite their careers she hated, she now takes money from "evil" Uncle Rupert. Wow…What would a shrink say about that shame spiral?
BWP….your Mormon lingo is impressive…….
Isaiah 5:20 KJV Old testament
You are correct, I have a Triple Combination and KJV Bible (Large Print…it sucks getting old)……lol
Isaiah 5:20
I beg to differ….
Let me ask you a question, if you were in front of a woman with really nice 38 DDs and she was telling you about her day, would you hear a word she said??
Ah yes, that age-old rightwing tactic of trying to make the war about the soldiers instead of people like yourself that actually made the war possible. You send them into battle and then use them as human shields against any criticism of yourself.
Diiiinsdaaale? Pie, Dinsdale, pie!
They hired her to try to make up to Keifer and his fellow Lefties. After creator Joel Surnow left the show (he's a personal friend of Rush, and a conservative, JIK u didn't know), Hollywood had to pull a major mea culpa for the unspeakable horror of delivering a hit show that dealt with a brave federal agent who would do anything to save this country. So they made Jack apologize to the senate, as the libbies are trying to make the CIA do in real life right now, and they hired the desperate-for-work former Air America host as well, to send a major wink and nod to the Left. Just like Obama did hiring Clinton aide Panetta to head the real CIA, or Eric Holder as Attorney General, despite the fact that Holder's former law firm is defending nearly 20 Gitmo residents.
madea benjamin said it was a million iraqis. what happened?
janeane is 40, alone, with a weight problem, and many poorly done tattoos. she is a ball of self loathing projected outwards.
Great name and pic, btw.
I'm with both of you.
"I know that no one cares but I haven't watched an episode of 24 since her tirade against the tea parties."
Censorship!!!!!!!!!
Exactly right.
Garofalo's major in college was history, but it must have been from the Howard Zinn revisionist POV. She thinks people at Tea Parties didn't understand history, regarding the Boston Tea Party. She doesn't understand the similarities between the protest of the Tea Act and people being mad about voting for a federal representatives, with either a D or R, who just don't care to represent out interests and preserve the principle of limited government.
Hmmm, this coming from a guy who has the "southern cross" as his avatar? Albeit in flames but still proudly waving it regardless. Credibility ZERO.
Can you imagine how bad "Jerry Mcgwire" would have been had she gotten the part? I could have turned Tom Cruise into a Gay man!
I believe her dad worked for Exxon. He might have later worked for Enron, but the author might have just misread something.
JFo explains her early change into a liberal here; I've bolded the armchair psychologist parts:
http://boreamerica.com/archives/2009/02/janeane-g...
And, her extremely vile persona developed over time. Last century she wasn't so vile:
http://boreamerica.com/archives/2007/12/flashback...
http://boreamerica.com/archives/2008/03/was-janea...
It could have, kit could have, it could have! LOL!
It obviously never occcurred to her that it was because of the Founding Fathers that the gays have the freedom to have their gay pride prances, uh, parades, and to burn the flag. Maybe el presidente, BO Plenty, should appoint to be an ambassador to the Middle East so she can tell them they should be allowing their people to burn their flags during a gay pride march. Or, better, yet, could be sent to one of the countries that, as Burt pointed out, was under the Soviet boot for so many years and tell them how great their lives were then ompared to the way things are in the terrible ol' US of A.
BTW, what IS she complaining about – the libs were all telling us things were going to be great in America again once the Annoying One was elected. Am I missing something?
Lalalalalala {{fingers in ears}} I can't hear you!!!!! Lalalaalalal!!!
Thank you! When you go home tonight there will be another story on your house…..
*he got carried away and also removed most of her heart.*
And her brain. Maybe she could point me to the neuroscience article that opines how only mentally disturbed people become republican. I have a sneaking suspicion, if pressed, she'd refer me to kos or huffington.
Comparing Soros with Hitler? Well, why not compare the Bush family, too? Remember that little incident during World War II (1942) when Senator Prescott Bush (George W's grandfather, George H.W.'s father) had various of his companies confiscated by an Act of Congress for trading with the enemy. It was these companies that actually helped Hitler's rise to power. Yes, folks, the Bush family money helped people gain power, and while we were at war with Hitler the Bush family was supporting Hitler financially. That's actually treason, but he got a pass on that because he was a U.S. Senator. What kind of logic is that? He should have been tried for treason.
Those links are great. So she's always been an a**h*le! First a conservative one and now a liberal one. From her statements, it is obvious that she can't think for herself.
She's ugly & her mother dresses her funny. It also looks like a 5 year old has been doodling on her arms with a crayon. Oh.. they are tattoos, my mistake. I think she is just very sad deep down with a real self image problem, she just needs a big hug rweally, aahh bless.
It's all about the matrices. When one matrix is better than another, you have found the Domimatrix.
The thing that gets me about creeps like Garefolo is they all want Communism/Socialism, but, they have no idea what would happen to them if the Commies took over. They would be rounded up and exterminated and buried in a common shallow grave. When the NVA/Viet Cong took over Hue during Tet, they rounded up and killed 3 thousand actors, teachers, Lawyers, Judges, Beaurocrats, and people how helped them, because they weren't to be trusted. Anyone who would betray one government will betray another.
Another Garofalo column? Oh, the humanity!
As far as I'm concerned, the only way she can continiue to maintain a presence in the media is by making the outlandish statements she's famous for making. She's no different from Madonna or Britney in that the more attention you can garner translates into more media attention. The best thing anyone could do for her is simply ignore her. She has not been picked up for next seasons 24 and in all liklihood, won't be. Just give her time to sink into oblivion.
I now understand why my multivariable calculus professor was German.
I enjoy your writing very much Burt, keep up the good work. For me, it's been a long week…I'm done with Jamean.
Most conservatives were bullied as kids, that's why they are so messed up when they are older.
Turned?
And Joe Kennedy was a Hitler lickspittle. What's your point?
That was priceless and so are the comments! I will definitely have to remember that one.
Janeane Garofalo has Nazi tendencies. I heard her on Bill Maher say that all Conservatives should be incarcerated. Then I hear her use pseudoscience to explain why Conservatives are genetically different in their brain structures. The Nazis used pseudoscience to explain why they thought Jews were genetically different from Aryans. Then they incarcerated them and it led to the final solution. Heaven forbid this woman ever gets any real power. She would have been perfect working under Himmler or Mengele.
And as your analysis…and an actual recent study…proves, conservatives actually tend to have a better sense of humor, as well. Thanks for the laugh, Pete!
i liked her better when she had big boobs
And makes it highly ironic that the guy who did the MIT videos is French (Denis Auroux).
Um, not that *I* watched THOSE videos or anything. It's just something I've heard. You know. Um…
"Ever see a man say goobye to a shoe before?"
"Hehheh, yes, once."
You sad, sad little person, and I use that term loosely. I'm a conservative – OK, that's true. But just what are you? A bully yourself? It would seem so, with the execrable language that you use and the way you belittle all those posting on this site. I, and many of my friends prefer to view and judge people on an individual basis. Therefore, I don't look at you as just another bitter little whining liberal, although you are one at that. No, you're a bully wannabe, much like the bully that I pitied so long ago. If you're looking for justification from your betters, those higher in the liberal aristocracy than yourself, you're as deluded as my bully. They're laughing at your efforts much the same way as the two jocks laughed at my bully and of course me. Oh, and you're more of a racist than the most ardent KKKer, and as much a fascist as a stormtrooper, lumping all of these people that you detest into convenient categories to make it easier to heap vitriol on them. I suppose you'd like to be more like Caligula, wishing that all of Rome (i.e. conservatives, my sheltered little psychopathic friend) had but one neck, so he could strike its head off with one stroke of his sword. Please, continue on your lonely road to wherever it may take you.
Janeane Who?
Bumpersticker: KEEP THE BOOBS
I mean we have Save the Ta-Tas from the Breast Cancer Folks
Oh wait "Keep the Boobs, Just don't become one"
See you in the Hammock District…..
She is such an annoying snarkhead, but the biggest offense is campaining for Howie Dean? AAAAAAAARGH
“The reason a person is a conservative Republican is because something is wrong with them. That’s science — that’s neuroscience."
And who knows more about the field of neuroscience than actors?
I hear some even perform brain surgery in their trailers to pass time between set-ups. Oh, did I say "perform brain surgery"? I meant to say "smoke weed".
The only real power this woman has comes from the batteries in her "boyfriend"…..
And when they touch the sides the patient's nose lights up with a loud BUZZZZZ!!!!
And that's relevant because just like Soros, Prescott Bush is currently influencing politics.
Oh, wait.
Ah, let's not start generalizing with actors, guys. Lots of us are good, hardworkin' folks. Many of us contribute right here @ BH frequently. Easy now…
Hey Bert, guess it burns that she's getting regular work in show biz and you're still resting on the laurels of, what, that one M*A*S*H episode?
Maybe if you'd be less bitter and more funny you could sell a script again someday.
Oh I'm sorry, what was that?
Let's take a closer look at that, shall we? Who are the liberals? They were the creative and non-conformist types; the artists and musicians. Who did they resent? The natural leaders, the cocky, in short the jocks and the popular kids.
At some point, the creative kids realizing that due to genetic or family disadvantage they cannot succeed on those terms. So they go the other way. Knowing that they cannot compete on clothing spending or likeablity, they put on the Morrissey CDs and t-shirts. This is the root of the greivance and victim mentality. Meet the proto-liberal.
Eventually, most grow up, get married and/or a career. Many drop the victim mentality and moderate their views some even become (egads) conservative. Others get a job in acedemia where never mature. Instead they can document and legitimize their grievances with fancy terms like "heteronormative" and "patriarchy".
Of course you're right, the barbs are meant for the likes of Garafolo and the usual suspects.
So you're ok with what garafolo said about conservatives and republicans then?
Seems the bigwigs at BH know how to push our buttons!
[...] Another participant in “Hit her when she’s down” week [...]
Censorship????? WTF are you talking about? A person chooses to not watch and you call that sensorship!!!!
MOOOOOOORRRRRROOOOOONNNN!
Like Sean Penn, I think she read Chomsky and absorbed only the adjectives. Listening to their diatribes is like hearing a kids swearing by using the word "anus" because they just learned the word in science class.
You mean she had someone read it to her….
No sir, not you, you'd never watch that drivel. Fact is you were actually watching a SlapChop/ShamWow double feature on Spike!
As to Lil Miss Crazypants, I have no problem with her bitterness. Bitterness that's focused with intellect can be very funny and potent. But in her case..<sigh>…I just can't abide her complete lack of intelligence. She's like a crazy fire hose with no one controlling the stream watery stupid.
Cool…just didn't want to see a whole thread get started raggin' on actors.
I don't think literalism was the goal here.
Is it time we employ the sarcasm mark?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcasm
Give her some credit! She could have read the Chomsky for Kids Coloring book.
What is wrong with you people? Such hate. Not only do you all sound just like her, you have fallen for it. Stop being idiots and practice what you preach. Until we start respecting one another's different points of view we will be no better than those we criticize. And that works both ways. And yes, you all prove her point about conservatives not being well adjusted or open minded. Do you listen to yourselves or do you just expect the rest of us to? Turn off Rush and Coulter and the old fart that wrote this and start thinking for yourselves. Maybe read a book instead of counting your thumbs. What the right has done to this country is to turn it on itself. You have all accomplished what the Taliban couldn't. Thanks.
I've always said that liberals don't get irony.
I'll bet she still couldn't stay inside the lines…
You ignore that she plays to her gallery for her own profit. I'm not sure she really is the violently self-hating Khymer Rouge nihilist lunatic she portrays on MSNBC or simply a cheap prostitute who wants to be a well-paid concubine in the lefty harem. It seems in her loony tirades she is describing herself, and may in fact need professional help.
Oh come on the little fascist is merely trying to divert attention from his own issues. Hey Anti..read Jonah Goldberg's Liberal Fascism. I believe he has your picture on it. A little yellow smiley face with a Hitler mustasche.
Its not about the soldiers and most of the guys in uniform I know know phoney bs when they see it. So do not even mention them. You are not worthy of their sacrifices. I mean..I feel like I am having a debate with a lower life form right now. Or a five year old.
Anti..if you want to talk about this, stop being so irrational and so bigoted. Let go of your emotions. That is where you lose your point. Not that you had one but that is where you lose your point.
Oh this a@@ clown has to explain his right to deny us our right of free speech. Isn't that just like a leftwing fascist? Mussolini and Stalin would be so proud.
Perfectly stated. What scares me is how much she identifies with Obama.
Spiny! Good to see you here. I used to follow your comments on Tim Blair's old blog.
Agreed. But maybe not using the sarcasm mark (¡ or [!] or </sarcasm>) will be more fun, if only to watch some peoples' heads explode.
Back in '95, I had a scene with her and Randy Quaid in the movie, 'Bye Bye Love' (I played the waiter in the Italian restaurant) We had a lot of fun and she seemed pleasant and professional. What has happened to her over the years is tragic and her latest comments regarding those of us who participated in the Tea Parties both infuriates and sickens me.
The woman needs help.
You'd like us to self-muzzle? Maybe we feel we've been silent too long, letting the liberals fill up the air with their poison, and their volume has influenced those that are more sheep-like to reluctantly follow. The vast amount of noise comes from the left. Its about time the right finds its voice also and counters the left's vitriol and in so doing pulling back some – hopefully enough of the sheep-like to bring this country back to a sense of balance. Oh, I know – we should just shut up and know our place in the new Father Barack-O-Land. So sorry for being uppity, massah. And how about you? Are you going to just berate conservatives, or also sit in bitter silence, not addressing the wrongs when you see them and when they are affecting you? Isn't that what a certain group of people did in Germany, only to be threatened with extinction? Its time to stand up and let your voice be heard as well. Or, it may never have the chance.
Uhh, 'anti', if your diapers are soaking because of the 'crime' of hiding behind a shield — then why are YOU hiding behind the shield of a fake name? Come on, before you demand honesty and courage from others, first display it yourself.
Until then, point your diaper pins at yourself. Or that hot air balloon of a brain. Come on, it would be FUN watching you spin backwards to Kanas at 130 mph.
Wow, it's been more than a week since Garofalo was on Olbermann and you guys are still bitching about it? I guess what she said must have hit a little too close to home.
As for "George Soros, who collaborated with the Nazis", Soros was 13 when the Germans took over Hungary, 14 when the war ended in Europe. If anything, Soros' father was a collaborator. You can hate Soros' politics, but this is like calling Schwarzenegger a nazi because his father was a nazi.
Like so many Lefties, Garofalo is a pampered little poodle who has always been able to complain about America's faults (real and imagined) without ever having to face criticism, let alone hardship.
Odd how so many of the Leninist champions of the "oppressed" like Castro, and Che similarly came from wealthy, pampered backgrounds.
Have you noticed the similarities between Gar-awful-O and Ayers? Both of them loath their high achieving parents. Neither of them ever achieved the stature of their own parents. Both of them can't find real jobs in the real world. And both of them of them throw bombs – one is filled with explosives, the other with profanity but both are conceived in hate.
Sorry, different Spiny. As I was reading the bile coming out of Auntie's crayon, it for some reason brought to mind the Dinsdale Piranha character. For those that aren't up on all things Python – according to the liberal bible – Wikipedea – "It is said that Dinsdale was a gentleman; he bought his mother flowers and that he knew how to treat a female impersonator. He also enjoyed nailing people's heads to the floor and to coffee tables, and screwing people's pelvises to cake stands…. Dinsdale was deeply afraid of Spiny Norman, an (apparently) imaginary hedgehog who, he believed, lived in a hangar at Luton Airport and who "was wont to be about twelve feet from "snout to tail", but when Dinsdale was depressed Norman could be anything up to eight hundred yards long." It seemed appropriate at the time to equate Auntie to a mean, psychopathic, delusional low-class English thug, and letting Spiny chase him around when he crept out from beneath his bridge to bother the grown-ups. I hope the original Spiny shows up as well – I'd give up the alter-ego and let him have it back, particularly if he enjoys chasing trolls around as much as I.
The difference here is that most of these comments are directed at one person, Garofalo, for making blanket asinine statements about people with different points of view. Also there is a big difference between have a different point of view about say, TARP funds or school vouchers, and calling people racists. We can have a civil, rational discussion about the former issues, fine with me, but nope don't have to respect the latter at all. Calling people racists without merit is bottom feeder territory. She might like that muck. Now who is divisive again?
Janeane Garofalo = "Skank Ho"
Blarty: I'll have you know I'm resting on the laurels of eight M*A*S*H episodes. And you're resting on exactly what?
Burt
Thanks for explaining it. It was a cultural reference. No wonder I missed it.
And here I thought it was a subtle reference for an inappropriate act.
now that was funny
Oily Taitz: George Soros' father was not the collaborator, George was. It's true that he was a teenager at the time, but he wasn't still a teenager when Steve Coft asked him on "60 Minutes" if he ever suffered any remorse over his actions, and Soros said he didn't and never had because if he hadn't done what he did, someone else would have.
Burt
G-Beast666. Where have I heard her name before? I'm going to go do something important now, like count the number of lines in the pavement.
I hoped it wasn't too literal. And you never know, it may very well also be a reference to an inappropriate act. Good luck and happy hunting. BTW, if I Google CrankyGordon, I won't come up with something like that, will I?
Why? So conservative terrorists can attack me and my family?
Bottom line is that Garofalo is a washed up actress who never quite made it. She is so desperately trying to be heard. Poor Janeane….she should do what Jonny Depp did, go live elsewhere. He hates the US and he did something about it…He left!
Ever ask the revisionists what the difference is between slavery plantations and socialist utopias? She majored in self-hatred faked as history, as she clearly know-nothings the compromises and disputes between the founding fathers. Hint, ask her to discuss the "maturization plan", I predict you get a blank stare of total ignorance, although you cannot discuss American slavery without discussing why the founders pushed the plan, or why they abandoned it. Your point is quite correct, but is not what the revisionest socialists teach.
Many on the Left disparage conservatives for boycotting individuals like Penn, Garafalo, and Streisand after they voice their political opinions. They call us hypocrites for not respecting those individual's free speech rights. I see it differently.
Every person is free to speak their mind and I would stand up to defend their right to speak even when the words spoken offend me. The problem with celebrities, like those mentioned above, is that they use the power of their celebrity to advance their political agenda. Because I do not agree with their agenda, I simply choose not to support their celebrity. They are free to shout from the rooftops whatever they want to, I'm just not going to prop them up with my hard earned dollars when they do so.
Also, RR, the same NVA/VC rounded up over 4,000 in Cholon in Saigon during Tet and the Khymer Rouge genocided the Cambode"upper" class even though the KR were themseves self-hating truly upper class educated at the Sorbonne. I remember the mass graves from Hue from Tet, and believe the 101st found over 10,000. There was no real way to tell, and the bodies had to be quickly reburied for health reasons. Irony: the young Doan 10 sapper captain who got executed in the famous photo would not have been captured if the thugs doing the murder roundup had had his back in the Free World Forces compound blocking battle in Cholon. Poetic.
You consider getting ONE notable role (24, which she won't be a part of past this season, guaranteed) in the last decade REGULAR work, Blarty? Yeah, seems like you and Garufftolookat have so much in common (unfortuneately)…
They don't come much less well-adjusted and open-minded than Jamean Gruffalo, esp. if you don't buy into her narrow-minded, elitist POV; THAT'S the problem most of us have with her!
She can say what she wants, but she (like anyone else) must also be held accountable for her statements, something Keef Olbermutt didn't even bother to do when interviewing/bowing down to her…
Where's our Pie?
Yeah these "hard statistics" for Iraqi deaths seem pretty changeable don't they? Next it will be 200 trillion, since it has to be a trillion with a T to be "big" now too.
And we mostly loathe people who don't give us pie.
Actually I think it was the Chomsky pop-up book. They were all out of the Chomsky scratch and sniff, which made her sad.
Okay you guys have officially cracked me up and made my day better.
Let's hope not!
BTW, I chose CrankyGordon because those commies at IntenseDebate wouldn't let me have Gordon. My original blog was the Cranky Neocon. It has since been shut down and now there is a Chinese restaurant on that location.
That said, please don't Google CrankyGordon. Nice to meet you.
She was funny, and kind of cute in Mystery Men but even there you could start to see the crazy bubbling to the surface.
Most conservatives also like pie.
Yes we do. Auntie is just mean with the whole pie thing.
But she's RIGHT!!!! It's NEURO-SCIENCE people!!!!!
If you think with your BRAIN and not your ASS, you will be a CONSERVATIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
('ya think that's enough exclamation marks??????)
yeah, me too. I think i read about them somewhere
Surnow is gone? I had no idea.
normally, I say no to crack, but this time I will make an exception.
Hey Hey LBJ how many kids did you kill today? He was a democrat wasn't he antipasta?
just Teabag Janeane
That visual made me sad.
Nice to meet you, as well. I'll respect your anonymity and not check out the great & powerful Google. Now I've got to come up with an original nic, but may still come back as Spiny once in awhile if only to poke Auntie and/or other trolls with a stick.
The family has enormously influenced politics. We've come off eight years of that influence. You do no that SS (as in the Nazi SS) translates as "Homeland Security", don't you? Remember Bush I's "New World Order." Read some translations of Hitler's speech about the New World Order.
Look at the fascism of the Republican Right. Much of the Patriot Act is fascist. That's how it's relevant. The Bush family has a history of fascism.
I've never defended Joe Kennedy. And you've brought in a straw man argument. Typical of many who can't defend something that's been said. What has Joe Kennedy got to do with whether or not the Bush family is corrupt? The Bush's are most likely the most corrupt political family in American history. And their dunce of a son linked up with pure evil like Cheney, Rumsfeld, Yoo, et. al. Bush was stupid, so the others took over. I've met George Bush. He's dumb as dirt.
No we did not know that, thanks for pointing it out!
Unfortunately, it's also dead wrong. SS is the shortened form for Schutzstaffel, which means "Protection Squad." Nothing to do with "Homeland"s at all, the Germans talked about the "Fatherland" all the time, not homelands.
As for your little tirade about fascism, it's about as accurate as your knowledge of German. But thanks for playing anyhow.
I see you are following the playbook to the letter. First, misspell your target's name. That little lack of respect is important. Secondly, state lies as truth. If you repeat it often enough, people will believe it. If anyone calls you out on it, then you can claim it was an honest mistake.
Mr. Burt has enjoyed a 30+ year writing career, yet you try to belittle him by inferring he's a one-hit wonder? You, BlartyB, are deceitful and it's ironic how bitter you sound.
Well, at least nobody was expecting the Spanish Inquisition.
And it wasn't a massacre. It was a weenie roast, and our hot dog friend missed it.
"Bring us…the comfy chair!"
It's…..THE BISHOP!!!!
No can do. That's where we keep the dead parrot.
She is akin to a Banshee with how much she yells at anyone not following the party line….as for her career…all I can say is WHAT CAREER?
Gratuitous derivatives and exponential integrals. Sound like the name of an Obama financial institution. Or mental institution, I'm not sure which.
Dull-normal, assuming anything about her could be normal.
She is a medical miracle, her brains were in her tits! The best part of her gone, too bad.
Can we at least poke them with the soft cushions? That question was in my mind while reading comments on previous waterboarding threads.
You could come to San Francisco. We have the annual Straight Pride Parade. Last year we drew a huge crowd of seven.
Actually, I'd say those two institutions are pretty much synonymous by this point.

Everything about this toe-rag is annoying right down to the friggen' pretentious way she
spells her name. So full of hate (which is supposedly anathema to the Liberal ideology
and what they stand for) and even at 65, she acts like she's 21 and spews the most
tired and long disproven stereotypes of what Republicans/Conservatives are all about.
After all these years of paralyzing rage, she STILL doesn't get it.
There has NEVER been a bigger, sadder, more self-hating hypocrite. She admitted to
her narcissism (I'd be ashamed to admit to that ESPECIALLY if I was dish-rag dirty looking
like she is) and when she did that movie "The Truth About Cats and Dogs" she admitted
she wasn't such an animal lover. PISS OFF JANEY-ANNIE YOU WARTY, OLD TOAD!!

I commented in reply to Blarty upthread, but Mr. P does not need to defend himself, so I'll repeat it here:

And most liberals were so thoroughly sheltered as kids, they have no understanding of how the world works.
Well we are losing 300 million jobs every day according to Pelosi
Very good, I'll take it.
Very good, I'll take it.

Didn't the Fjord Motor Company take over Volvo, or some such? I was up to seventy-two when I had to come back upstairs for a cup of coffee. But I did make the distinction between cracks and crackheads. It's hard to count down there in the Tenderloin, though, since the crackheads frequently have their heads up their cracks
No–too violent. But we might be able to tap them with the dead parrot.
They are a bit difficult for us cognitively deprived conservatives to distinguish.
Please stop. I barely got through college physics, and I have to use the computer to figure out my checkbook!
Actually, you are the one who mentioned soldiers because you can't have a debate without pulling the soldier card. It's pretty pathetic. Fascists start wars and use soldiers as pawns. Soldiers follow orders. YOU are the enabler and YOU are the problem.
Let's see Mussolini, Stalin, Bush, Obama…Which ones started aggressive wars costing thousands upon thousands of lives? Wake up, fool.
How disappointing. Then I guess giving them the tea and crumpets is right out.
It's OK. Anderson Cooper will proviide the tea bags. I'll provide the strumpets. You did say strumpets, right?
'Another time, she announced, “The world would be better off with multiple superpowers. When the Soviet Union was a superpower, the world was better off.”'
You might be surprised–or not–at how many people would agree, including former Secretary of State Madelaine Albright. Madame Secretary also feels it's better for both the US and the world if America has a "counter balance." In her opinion, we *were* better off with the Soviet Union because it provided that balance. Lots of people out there with that viewpoint. They stop short at explaining how the millions trapped under the Soviet's iron boot were better off, but, hey, nothing good comes without sacrifice, right?
When I was in high school, we had a name for girls like Janeane: skank.
So let me get this straight…. The twinkie made herself more ugly to be better accepted as a comedienne. How's that working out then? I don't think she's funny and, as an actress, she sucks. Wow ,what a great move. She does get alot of ink for her rants, though. Maybe that's her definition of 'success'. Mata Hari would be proud. Can you say traitor?
I got suspicious when I realized they were using imaginary numbers in the budget. Is it too much to ask for a budget that is composed of real, rational numbers? No more of this "Take the square root of negative pi, multiply by ln(e)/ln(1) and you'll see this balances."
Only if they're filthy.
There is no need to worry about your checkbook. When they tell you: "I'm sorry. There are insufficient funds to pay for this check."
You respond with: "You got a bailout. How can you still have insufficient funds?"
Then you write another million dollar check to pay for underage calculus and let the bank deal with it.
I don't believe she ever did….anybody have any pictures to prove she did?…..please?
I can't help that I'm a math-hole.
And which one is only three months into his rule, I mean term? Yeah, that's a clever comparison…fool.
"Let him rave on, that men will know him mad" – Ten Commandments
Burt – He is obviously jealous and hates the fact that you have made it this long in a business that he has no hope of ever getting into.
Funny you should mention that, because the actual way they come with the numbers is by dividing it all by zero.
Too late. Since I pay all my bills on time and pay my credit card balances down, the bank raised my interest rate and canceled my checking account. Still waiting for the call from the IRS about that $3.72 error on made on my taxes last year. I'm guessing that will mean I owe them the $3.72, plus $3,978 in interest and $5,000 in penalties. See? I can add.
I keep saying, every time I see Janeane, I worry that some homeless person is missing their shopping cart….
No. Bring out the rack!
She is a Media WHORE.
You know, sometimes it's hard to let little things slide.
I'm a child of holocaust survivors. My parents were children, and their parents were forced to make serious decisions to keep them alive. Luckily they found a way.
Jack, George Soros was a JEWISH CHILD during the holocaust, who's family made decisions to keep him alive. A CHILD. He was not a Nazi Callaborator any more than any of the jews who made tough decisions on whether to hide rather than fight. Who knows what any of us would do in a similar situation. Plus, he was a CHILD.
Disagree with how the man spends his money all you want. But these cheap Nazi Callaborator digs cheapens every forum they appear in.
Only fascists start wars eh? So you're admitting that Stalin was a fascist now too? At least you're learning something. How about Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Madison, Lincoln, Grant, Wilson, FDR, Truman, Kennedy, LBJ, and Clinton? They all started some wars too you know.
Now learn to bake some damn pie.
Yeah that new Democrat math just confounds me. Trillion still is a lot of money right?
Not to be rude, but seeing as you haven't had an IMDB listing since 2002, Jack, seems the bitterness is your own.
Gorofolo is an ACTOR. She may have her politics, but the left's success in hollywood is from not seeing every show, every movie, every work they're in as a soapbox. It drives the right batty when they do, but I'll bet Gorofolo is pretty happy with the paycheck, her work on the show, her continued role as an activist and anything else she's involved in.
Just as I'm sure you're happy with all the, er, blog writing you're doing. That's special, too!
A very well done article and I applaud it. However, Ms.Garofolo has had much more than her 15 minutes of fame. She is almost as offensive as Perez Hilton and I am sick to death of both of them. AND their ilk including Al Franken, who may just end up being a Senator from Minnesota when they get through shredding what is left of any credibility of the election process in Minnesota. What does that tell us about not only the social culture but the election process? It is very bad these days and going to get worse. That is what happens when the grownups let the spoiled brats of society run amok. They start trashing the house and next thing you know, there goes the neighborhood!
I keep being reminded of "Lord of the Flies" when I see Garofalo, Perez, or the Daily Kos. They all seem to be victims of arrested development- and I don't mean the television show! They are FERAL.
Rhymes with "glass"
Ni!
all the liberal America haters to go along with garopalo – whoever that is. dont know, but after reading a little about her words of wisdom, obviously she ranks up their with my little 10year old nephew – the day care brat coming from the union govment schools.
typical liberals hating themselves to the point of trying to make everyone come down to their level
obviously, it sucks to be garopalo, oil tators, yvette grimes, blarty blarthead and all the other juvenile America bashers.
I liked the article. Garofalo, not so much. While in the Navy, we had a name for people like her and her limo liberals – FLOB. It means "Fee Loading Oxygen Breather". Not worth the time and energy to bother with. Kind of like trying to teach a pig to sing – it wastes your time and annoys the pig!
I'm still trying to figure out why this whiny wench calls herself a comediene – she's like Bill Mahr – very angry bitter nasty people. What their party affiliation or opinions are just isn't worth considering because they seem to be completely empty bodies. No soul, no heart – nothing…except mean.
She's only 44 – I'm 58 – she doesn' t have a clue what the challenges were for women in business in the 70's and 80's – she slipped in behind those of us that paid the price and turn feminism into a bitter androgenous war. And she and the generations that followed are still fighting. What they lost was the ability to be WOMEN – FEMININE WOMEN – WHO CAN BE STRONG BUT STILL FEMININE.
To her and others who have gone down this road – HEAR THIS – most of us who fought the glass ceiling for others coming behind us – DIDN'T WANT TO BE MEN OR FEMALE VERSIONS OF JOHN BELUSHI. We just wanted equal opportunity.
Paraphrasing Mark Twain … people make think her a fool, but then she opened her mouth and removed all doubt.
"Jerry Maguire,” she lost a good deal of weight, only to discover that Renee Zellweger had snagged the part."
Whew! I like that movie. I'm so glad the producers nixed her. This angry, self-loathing twit would have totally ruined it. Poor girl. Woman. Whatever. She is 44. Acts like she's 12. Has painful tatoos inflicted on her maybe to not feel her own pains… She really is sounding like a sad sack. She needs to see an exorcist — er a psychiatrist.
I watch 24 and find that Garofalo has brilliant range as an actress. In she show she portrays a sort-of homely and quiet woman most everyone would overlook, regardless of her opinions and abilities. However, in real life, she's a very homely and mouthy woman most of us overlook because of her appearance AND opinions.
Sarcasm aside, I agree that she has some serious self-hatred issues and is, most likely, in therapy for life.
Garofalo is a washed up alcoholic comic. Climb back in the bottle honey and stay there!
Let me ask you a question, would you still feel the same if it were, say, Janet Reno or Helen Thomas standing in front of you? I have to agree that for the most part a really nice ahhh, chest, can prove a valuable distraction. However, and I seem to be in the minority here, there are certain circumstances when even those measurements can't get you past absolute stupid or irrational. Not very often mind you, but it does happen on occasion.
Amazing! I've always been fascinated by all the so-called "grown ups" who still smirk slightly at anybody they think may've been picked on as a child. Theoretically, you are supposed to grow out of this vile and pointless brand of scorekeeping after you hit the age of, say, 19 or 20. Theoretically, a true grown-up doesn't give TWO CENTS whether you were popular as a kid, or a dork. But the cretins of the world — even when they reach the age of "maturity" — stil think this is a legitimate reason to mock someone. Un. Believable.
As for me, I am 43 with a lovely wife, friends, house and life, but I was picked on relentlessly as a kid. Every day, for years and years. Guess that's what turned me into a conservative, right?
People who are "liberal" in the true sense of the word — those who are truly compassionate and fair-minded — do not CARE how other people perceived you growing up. They're able to judge you now, at this moment, and entirely for themselves.
Oops, minor typo. I meant to write:

There actually was a report out of the University of California, Berkeley School of Psychology which defined conservatism as a social disorder. My own alma mater has now declared me officially nuts.
Helen Thomas???
Ok, I'm off boobs forever……
Amen! No pie, no talkie. Please folks, ignore Auntie Fascist! At least until she learns to bake us some yummy pies. After that, we will consider it, ok?
Funny, but I am a 5'2 woman with a 38 D chest, blonde hair, and a Southern accent! I have tons of strikes against me, but I run 2 businesses and sit on 4 director's boards. No one ever gives me any crap, so I think JG is just full of it, as usual. She should have kept the boobs, as others here have said, then people might not realize what a witch she is, if they had something to distract them. Also, for 44, and in H'wood, I think she is starting to look pretty rough. I am only a yr younger and a grandma to 4, one on the way, and I don't look as old as she does. Geesh. Of course, a shower, shampoo and a daisy razor would be a good first start.
Ancient gym socks filled with pool balls don't count as boobs. Cross Helen and her tatas of the list.
Sgt. Tank, have your last comment deleted ASAP, unless you meant for your personal e-mail to be on display!
I agree, Liz , about the boobs. As I have said upthread, I am 5'2 with a 38D chest. I have gotten teased, a little, but most of the time, I just laugh it off. I would think as a comedian, this would have been a great thing to work into her act. She could have gotten a lot of mileage from the left with an angst filled tirade over her poor lot in life, being forced to be objectified as a woman, or some other such nonsense.
I think that ship has long sailed myself. I think David Miscavige is the love of his life.
Yvette, instead of spending time ranting about s#it on the net that people neither want to know about or care about, shouldn't you be busy building your time machine so you can go back in time and take out that problematic Prescott Bush? Especially since he vexes you so, even today? BTW, since you don't seem to care for old Joe Kennedy much either, could you knock him off too, during your journey back in time? I am sure we might feel more generously toward you if you took care of that for us. Oh yeah, next time you visit, bring pie.
I just hope Lawhawk missed it. He doesn't need this kind of stress.
I don't know why people can't figure out how she ended up on '24' this season. It's a season based on the premise that a cabal of rich conservatives run the country, are the true terrorists and work hand in hand with "ex-special forces" who think nothing of unleashing bio weapons on American citizens and killing U.S. service men who try to stop them.
Come on, folks. It's okay to admit when we've been duped. The entire show is a MoveOn wet dream. (As it has been more subtly for some time… Just count the seasons featuring Arab terrorists vs. seasons in which rich white Americans are the puppet masters behind "the attacks.")
Hey, thanks for the heads up on the email. I didn't know it would show if I responded from the email notice that intense debate sends out. Not that it'll matter because it's basically a "throwaway" email addy but no sense in getting spammed.
Thanks again.
I wish I could have been there. What did they do? Dress up like normal people and stand on floats struggling to control their children?
It was very exciting, and nobody had a whip or a large vibrating sex toy. The kids were really cute. They held up signs that said "Look I have a mom and a dad—real ones."
It's not a straw man arguement. There were some big money families with dynastic ambitions that were cheek and jowl with the nazi party. To only point to one and scape goat that person leaving all the convenient people out of the story, is suspicious at best.

This is funny. If you are nerdy
LOL
Till the end of this week anyway….then who knows
And again, someone has to point out that you don't know the definition of the word 'fascism'.
Nor do you know how the PATRIOT ACT came about. It was (all-but) unanimously approved by a bipartisan Congress in response to the worst act of terrorism on our soil in history. It is being maintained by Obama. In fact, the only administration documented to have abused their PATRIOT/FISA abilities is Obama's. His administration was snooping on domestic communications for no reason (probably to bolster Napolitano's irrational hatred and fear of anyone who doesn't drink the Kool-Ade).
Have fun on HuffPo, they're much dumber.
[...] It also reconfirms the cleverness of dogs and why Garafalo so appropriately named her media company “I Hate Myself Productions.” Because, after all, when even your dog feels compelled to relieve himself on you… Share and [...]
