Hollywood Political Mental Disorder
by Joseph LindseyMental disorders don’t come to Hollywood they’re cultured there. It all takes place inside the social interaction of petri dishes disguised as auditions, lunches, movie sets, movie premieres and fund raisers.
After ample time is spent cultivating inside these infected petri dishes, subjects unknowingly begin to show signs of “Hollywood Political Mental Disorder,” or HPMD. The frustrating thing about HPMD is that the cure is so close the subjects can’t see it.
Most subjects come to Hollywood healthy and open minded only to have the openness of their mind infected by simplistic antidotes that can be swallowed but never digested by the human spirit because they lack logic and reason.
HPMD takes hold
After settling into town, subjects are given the dialogue of second-hand-word-of-mouth politics. A dialogue which can be believed only if accompanied by free booze from parties the subjects are directed to attend. If subjects forget their lines, Hollywood snake oil salesmen will remind them what to say every time they turn on the TV or stroll past a magazine rack full of Obama Porn.
In the early stages of infection subjects remain pretty on the outside but are only able to parrot what the last person said to them about what it is they’re supposed to know about the world. On the inside, subjects must lose all rational censure so as to remain part of the group’s mutual incomprehension as to why everyone else is not like them.
Sufferers of HPMD gradually become cruel to all those outside their group. The reason for this behavior, they will tell you, is in the name of “making the world a better place for everyone.” (Except for those cured of HPMD or those who’ve never been infected.) HPMD is not new to Hollywood. Modern subjects can be found clinging to peace and love from the 1960’s in the form of hope and change while pimping it across the globe like Facebook heroin.
HPMD gets a face
With the recent introduction of President Obama into the infection, subjects are given the ability to actually worship a political pop idol. With this addition, subjects become advanced carriers of HPMD and are unable to deconstruct their idols domestic agenda. An agenda set to level the playing field of their lives to that of a vast wasteland of cultural diversity where people are forced to search out opposing races for tea at noon, so as to not look cowardly. A three minute and thirty second You Tube Iranian foreign policy encapsulates their pop idol president’s agenda. The subjects buy into it because they feel good when reaching out to psychos. They adore the fact that he’s done the same drugs they’re currently on, and are subconsciously comforted by the fact that they voted for what they see him as most, a black man.
A more sinister way of infecting HPMD to subjects
Served up hundreds of times a week in tipsy town, HPMD also takes hold inside “recovery meetings.” Meetings where subjects with a still gelatinous brain in the shape of an apple martini are served bad coffee alongside a stale plate of victimhood mentality, of which can only be digested by one sort of mind, a soft one that leans to the left. The soft brain of the subject, now victim, goes on to become caught up in the self-creation of its own drama and driven to a level of self-importance that leads them to want to heal their past through healing the world. Once HPMD takes hold of subjects in recovery rooms they become willing to go to any length to get better so long as they don’t have to rise above the group.
What to do in the face of HPMD
It’s difficult to know what to do with subjects suffering from HPMD when one comes across a gaggle of them, or even just one. Field test by conservatives have found the best way of treating people with HPMD is to treat them like sick friends.
Example: If you went to the hospital to see a sick friend and they threw up on you, you wouldn’t yell at them. You’d show compassion, hand them a fresh towel and leave them to rest.
Libertarian field tests show they can sometimes be defused by agreeing with them on one of their rabid topics, then blinding swiping them with the antidote of logic and reason. This is best attempted in the morning before the subjects brain is given a feeding at the liberal troth of “The Daily Show,” The New York Times, MSNBC, NPR, and current White House press briefings. Yet research shows that even these advanced carriers HPMD are not the most extreme.
HPMD as profit
Full blow carriers of advanced HPMD like Bill Maher and Janeane Garofalo will find they can make a healthy living speaking with venom and hatefulness towards those who have used the cure of logic and reason to escape the disorder.
Precautions in closing
When one comes across one of these hateful subjects suffering from HPMD give no response and hand them a fresh towel after the outburst, leave the scene, calmly walking away with a smile before their next regurgitation. You won’t want to have to keep cleaning up after their mental barf.

Great post. Especially using Ms Garofalo as the poster child for this particular disorder. She recently commented that conservatism was a mental disorder as well so this fits just about right. Plus she really wrecks every scene in '24' that she is in… maybe they'll write in a catfight scene between her and Chloe.
One can only hope…
Does Garofalo tattoo the Democratic talking points on her arms? I think all the ink has gone to her brain. Poor thing.
http://the100mostannoyingthings.blogspot.com/
Completely agree with you on her "24" performances. She has one emotion: permament pout.
I will add my opinion that very soon HPMD will be identified as not a disease in itself, but merely a symptom of the often fatal virus called Self-Loathing.
Don't believe me? Observe carefully the sufferers.
Is HPMD sexually transmitted?
she didn't want to do the series for, as you might guess, political reasons. However, guess what? she admitted she needed the job… as 10CC once said 'art for art's sake, money for God's sake'. Not that she would believe that, either.
Ha! That would explain why she behaves like she'd rather be getting her next tattoo than getting into the character.
The last time Garofalo has sex was probably… um… I'd rather not think about the last time Garofalo had sex.
we thought it was just us- although in that world geeky weirdos like her are more commonplace than you think- but her permanent pout seemed more a disdain for the project but she deserves the $$$. Typical kool-aid drinker. No, actually more of a kool-aid IV…
I want to punch Garafalo in the taint.
I wish some UFC fighter would go on "Real Time" disguised as a whack job leftie and then reveal himself to be a conservative and see what Maher does when he gets in his face. I'm going to stoop below their level, it's time we fight fire with fire.
"A magazine rack full of Obama Porn." I'm going to use that one.
…or ANY time, really!
… and are subconsciously comforted by the fact that they voted for what they see him as most, a black man.
Nail, meet head! We have Obama as president primarily because he's the black friend liberals wish they had one of.
Can someone please explain why 24 wanted her? She's competent as an actress, but really, the baggage is too much. Did Surnow think that it might win left-leaning people to the show?
I never gotten into 24, just like Sienfeld I started watching once it was off prime time. As for Ms Garafalo, something when wrong for her. Why do 24 ? Oh need a job. Ok , nothing wrong with going out and working. Ms Garafalo has made a habit of telling more than half the population is stupid. and well it cost her, she has to work on 24 because its the only game in town. A right wing Republican producer and creator of that program gave her a job. Some how I find that to be poetic! She is still not very funny or even good to look at but its got to stick in her craw,
Great post and so disturbingly true. The bizarre thing is they think they are logical…sadly my brother is infected and try as I might I've been unable to get him to realize he's sick.
Maher is an enigma. He is undeniably intelligent, but his HPMD doesn't allow him to properly channel that intelligence through the filter of common sense. His arrogance and perpetual smirk don't serve him well either. Like most college professors, he is too busy conjuring up his fantasy reality and therefore either cannot or refuses to recognize true reality. Garofalo is just a sad case. Maybe a few hours of counseling with Dennis Miller would help both of them.
10 years ago Garofalo was doing 2 to 3 movies a year, every year. Everytime you turned around, one of her movies was coming out. Now she is working on a TV show whose politics she despises as a supporting cast member. She finally woke up and saw that she was now past 40, and fewer good movie roles were available for women her age. She followed the path Glenn Close, Holly Hunter, and Kyra Sedgwick took, only they are LEADS on their shows (and they probably have more creative control over the content than Garofalo does).
Man…I was so hoping she was the mole in the FBI and traitor to the country.
Art imitating life for sure….but alas, I just have to take her as she is. A closet
lesbian terrorist in drag…….
Lets hope that sometime in the show Jack has to interrogate her……:)
How would you like to be her partner in "Dancing with the Stars"….oh wait, she could never be on that show.
Sorry…my bad…….
The maintenance drug of HPMD isn't heroin, it's LSD. Completely distorted reality with strong traces of paranoia.
Did you say "taint?" I hadn't heard that expression in years. I was beginning to think I was the last person on earth who even knew it existed. Thanks for the laugh..
Garofalo looks like one of the skid row residents in downtown LA. Give her a shopping cart and a bottle of mad dog 20/20 and she’d look like one of the bums in our state legislature.
The difference between Maher and Miller is a very good case in point. Maher suspended logic and even denies it's existence whereas Miller fully embraces it. If Maher ever accepted the existence of logic, his whole schtick dissolves.

I used to tell my friends that she always looked like a pissed off lesbian and that one day she would snap and bacome a total loon. I wish I was this prophetic in the lottery.
I think the saddest is when undeniably smart people have to appear dumb in order to continue the mental gymnastics that prop up their HPMD. They do everything but support their positions with real facts and evidence and try to substitute lots of emotion instead. The end result is it makes them look stupid.
Garofalo looks like she's about to burn out. I thought if nothing else that the election would let people consumed by hatred chill out a bit, but it seems that their hatred has taken on a mind of its own. She better vent it out soon or else it will consume her.
y'know, that's a good question. Our best guess is yes- she's a sop to the left- like the awful, nightmarishly bad commander in chief Cherry Jones… and Garofalo is just barely competent in all fields; she is the pinnacle of mediocrity…
I have to admit I thought she was very appealing in The Truth About Cats and Dogs. Little did I know that was the exception to the rule. Why oh why must she continue to pollute 24?
Absolutely. Reminds me of the Limbaugh quote vis-a-vis, Donavan McNabb. He was correct, just not politically correct.
And like LSD, long-term excessive use can lead to drug psychosis and psychological dependency.
Her permanent pout comes from her feeling 'I am so sad because I am so smart and telling these idiots what the truth is, yet they just won't or aren't smart enough to believe me. What is a brilliant thinker like me do to? This would depress anyone as smart as me.' Like Big Ed Mustafa said in a Dirty Harry flik "stone waste of white". To my daughters – I love you girls! Thanks for the call Ellen! Love, Daddy
I think it's transmitted through Botox IVs.
-Sexually assault someone who chafes your beliefs. Now theres some weapons grade stupid there..
So what color ribbon will they be wearing for this disease?
Quoting Eddie Mustafa is way hip- by the by Albert Popwell, a good friend of Clint's was in three Dirty Harry
films, including the famous "I know what you're thinking, punk" scene… Garofalo is, and always will be a mystery to anyone who doesn't subscribe to her asinine views. They all think they're so damn smart and what they really are is clueless. Clueless and overly medicated….

"Dancing with the Shmucks" perhaps?
The ribbon color for HPMD is tie-dyed.
I never seem to remember Popwell by name. He's terrffic in every scene, in each of the DH films he appears in. Loved it when he played one of the good guys in his last role w/ DH. He was priceless when Harry wheels around pointing the .44 automag at him. My favorite line from Popwell (as Mustafa) was "….Hey Callahan….do 'em innnnn." "Oh, you can count on that."

I was extremely disappointed to see that Jeanane Garofolo was added to the Cast of 24. Then, again, that Cherry Jones is stunningly awful. Jeanane USED to be a good actress. She should have stuck to acting. Being on Air America with that idiot Al Franken did nothing for her career or her family relations. I saw a video of her working on Air America awhile back where she said she has arguments with her dad all the time about working at Air America and the far left nonsense she spouts. He is a conservative. Could it be her form of rebellion? If it is , it has hurt her far more than anything she thinks she can do to her dad by being so opposite. And WHAT has happened to her appearance? Perpetual greasy hair does nothing for a woman's image not to mention that scowl. I am waiting for Chole to slap her silly. I HOPE.
I'm betting there are quite a few UFC fighters that are closet conservatives. Anderson Silva and Forrest Grifffin come to mind as likely conservatives by their values. God knows they're probably more intelligent than Maher. Leben, on the other hand, strikes me as a Garafalo-type and I love watching him get his arse handed to him. LOL
I saw that Maher thing. What was that? He's acts cynical… now he cares! 'Oh, they're going to take our beloved president away.' I have a good feeling, he'll be alright. Hey, whomever compared him to Kennedy or Lincoln ought to be blamed if he there was an assasination atempt, but I think he'll serve out his term.
Garafolo really lost it a few years ago during Iraq's first free election. Man, that was sad. I loved her on the Ben Stiller show, though. That was good stuff.

Out of sight! A psychedelic tie dyed ribbon.
Truth be told, Jeanane is so far gone, she is not really worth talking about. She is sad and obviously hates herself. She comes across as someone who went through childhood trauma. She deserves pity really. Maher, on the other hand, is such a coward. He only cares about two things, pot and prostitutes. Those are the real reasons he is a leftist. He wants Amsterdam in L.A. Also, to me, his arrogance masks an inferiority complex.

Possibly Randy Coture. He was in the Army and he and his wife have a charity set up for soldiers. Or, just for the sheer terror it would induce in Maher, Brock Lesnar… that man scares me.
That line made me throw up a little. Not a pelasant mental picture.
"Libertarian field tests show they can sometimes be defused by agreeing with them on one of their rabid topics, then blinding swiping them with the antidote of logic and reason."
You, sir, have just exposed my operating field manual. The most confrontational you can get with one of their inane ideas is, "Hmm, I don't know how I feel about that…" –> emphasis on "feel."
Brock should scare anyone with a lick of sense. His neck is a damn tree trunk.
Chuck Norris ain't in the UFC, but he's a multiple time full contact karate champ (not in the face! and no grappling, but still) and Matt Hughes and Jens Pulver, though nearing the twilight of their careers, are not closet conservatives. All 3 of them are very open about it. Though Norris is so soft-spoken I don't think he's serve for intimidation. Hughes on the other hand can be a total in your face ahole.
Joseph — brilliant.
I'm considering wearing a hazmat suit into my next audition.
Gary thanks I'm a big fan.
You can use my hazmat suit if you like, its Prada and don't need it any longer.
Garofalo, Maher, and Olberman are living examples of how hate makes you stupid.
It narrows down the focus until only items which can be thrown at the object of their hatred can be recognized. Now that GWB is contentedly back on his Crawford ranch clearing brush instead of plotting to establish himself as
Fuehrer of the Fourth Reich, all they have left to believe in is the fading promises of the Obamessiah. Kinda sad, really.
Taintsvile is between Oviedo, Florida and Chuluotta, Florida on SR 419.
Girlfriend please, Prada is so last year. Anyway, shouldn't that be "Pravda?"
"Sufferers of HPMD gradually become cruel to all those outside their group. The reason for this behavior, they will tell you, is in the name of “making the world a better place for everyone.” (Except for those cured of HPMD or those who’ve never been infected.)" -sort of like Soviet Russian citizens during the purge of the "kulaks" in the mid-1920's and during the "Great Terror" (or "Yezhovschina" in Russian) during the mid-to-late 1930's. Read Orlando Figes' "The Whisperers: Private Life in Stalin's Russia" – it appears that Hollywood society has become like Moscow and Leningrad in the 'thirties. People designated "enemies of the people" by Stalin's NKVD were imprisoned or executed and their families shunned – fired from their jobs or kicked out of school and evicted from their homes.
The ones I know are, as are many of my fellow stick fighters.
ah I know, must be because Daddy didn't get her that pony when she was a little girl and now she's payin him back.
a great modern John Ford like ensemble player in Clint's world…
