Four years ago "24" actress Mary Lynn Rajskub was quoted as saying "I got into acting to avoid politics." Unlike most of her liberal colleagues, Miss Rajskub didn't discuss the subject and acted very accepting towards conservatives. The actress appeared on the Laura Ingraham Show and was photographed in Rush Limbaugh's studio.
Everything changed the moment Rush Limbaugh planted an innocent tiny kiss on her at 2006 Heritage Foundation Panel discussing the show 24.
Outrage was the reaction amongst her peers. Ex-boyfriend Duncan Trussell supposedly asked "when he kissed you did he suck out your soul and replace it with maggots?"
Talk show after talk show, people kept asking Rajskub if she was dating Limbaugh. The picture of Limbaugh kissing her was shown over and over again for several months.
And that's all it took for Rajskub to start distancing herself for accepting conservatives.
Over the past year on her twitter page, the actress has dissed Sarah Palin and claimed she "hates" the Tea Party. She claimed to "hate" Glenn Beck months after appearing on his show where he showed a big interest in her paintings and even displayed her work on his website. Rajskub made fun of Christine O'Donnell on Craig Ferguson's show just a few weeks ago.
In the past week, the actress started to complain that while she still liked America, she was sick and tired of all the "BS" going on in the country. Her political career was set to be lauched in 10 years.
And now the actress is demanding well all vote DEMOCRAT to make sure the country stays in the right direction. Link:

Rajskub's newfound political activism is hard to believe given her age (39), the number of years she spent dating leftists (David Cross, Jon Brion and Duncan Trussell). If a leftwinger like Cross wasn't enough to convert her to political activism, why start now all of a sudden?
Rajskub's transformation is very surprising given her entire fortune can be tied to conservatism. It was conservative producer Joel Surnow who wrote the role of Chloe for her. It was Surnow who fought the other producers to keep her on the show. And it was because of Surnow she became a a big enough household name to have her own standup comedy show. Without her conservative producer and big conservative fanbase, Ms. Rajskub would be a little known standup comedian.
I guess none of this matters now that she is unemployed. But will being another left wing activist (and hardly a believable one) really help her career when she will always be typecast as Chloe? It certainly won't endear her to the millions of fans who loved her on 24.
No surprise. She’s good friends with that Air America slut who also on 24, rofloa, barfalow something.
Gail the Snail!
The threat of a new blacklist does wonders to ones behavior
Get a clue folks.
ALL of TV and ALL of Hollywood are s**t keep watching because your viewership supports Obama.
She was always a leftist, and dumb as a rock to boot. I never saw the attraction of a dumb, ugly, mean girl.
Who?
I am so out of the loop since I don’t watch TV shows, just DVDs. (Searching the name)
She was on King of Queens once. She looks really nervous.
I don’t expect her to vote conservative just because she got work from conservatives—many liberals have hired me over time.
Who cares what a COMEDIAn—oops, so sorry, COMEDIENNE thinks about politics? They stand up and tell jokes, then go home and drink themselves into oblivion because no one takes them seriously. I think that’s why most of them are liberals, anyway, because being a conservative is fun, and they want people to think they sit around solving world hunger when they’re not on stage.
She looks like she’d jump a mile if you looked at her crosseyed. Who cares what she thinks?
(In case you’re wondering, I’m just back from the doctor and she hit me with not one, not two, not three, not four but FIVE drugs and said “Stay home for a week.” Thank you.
You are dumber than a fence post.
We know your foremost accomplishment in life is not watching tv, but that is really nothing to brag about
Yeah, but she was friends with Janeane a long time ago (mid 90’s). Why did it take her that long to go to the left?
And with Mary Lynn, she never actually says anything about actual issues. She called Mahmoud Ahmadinejad “that dude” on her twitter page. She said she “hates” the Tea Party but didn’t say why. She claims there is BS in this country but didn’t elaborate. She has never stated her views on the role of government, on taxes, abortion, the death penalty, etc.
Seems so juvenile.
Furthermore, David Cross is an animal. Anyone who can even shake his hand ... has ... uh... Had their soul sucked out and replaced with maggots ?
I believe this to be a calculated career public relations action. Start out conservative and become a prominent supporter of conservative causes for a few years and then have a “transformation” to embrace the truth of liberalism. It’s a great career boost and money maker for those who convert. Arianna Huffington became a leader among liberals this same way. Purely a busines decision.
If she was always a leftist, why did she diss Michael Moore in the season 4 DVD commentary and call Rush Limbaugh “brilliant and hilarious” back in 2006?
She will always be Chloe to me, just like William Shatner will always be the trim and fit Captain Kirk ;-)
Just another braindead, lib slut bimbo. I’d prefer imbeciles like her camp with the libs. We don’t need ignorant know-nothing drones like this on our side.
She's prooof that space aliens did have sexual congress with the buffalo.
I don't know why anyone's surprised at Chloe's politics. Kiefer Sutherland's an admitted socialist: SUTHERLAND
Either that or she was sucking up to her Conservative boss and now is sucking up to her liberal peers now. I’m just a little disappointed. I thought she was above the “my opinion is so important because I’m famous” crap.
Thanks tard. Keep watching those dancing electrons and keep supporting Obama/elites/islamics with your HD idiot box. LOL!
Rajskub’s comments about Limbaugh were far from liberal sounding in 2006:
“Last summer, I was on a panel about terrorism that [he] was moderating,” the blonde tells FHM.
“He said hello to everyone and kissed me full on the lips. I was like, ‘Oh, that was odd.’ Then the picture was on the Internet and people thought I was going out with him. He’s brilliant and hilarious, but I wouldn’t say I wanted to get it on with him!”

Garofalo would rather be DEAD than say something like that.
the 24 actors almost seem ashamed of the show’s heavily Conservative fanbase. James Morrison (Bill Buchanan) is a major lefty and very nasty on twitter. Marci Michelle (dialogue consultant, occasional bit part) is as well.
She is being duped. When will people ever learn?
