And why should I listen to Janeane Garofalo?
The Constitutional Alamo ^ | 04/22/09 | Michael Naragon

“You know, there’s nothing more interesting than seeing a bunch of racists become confused and angry at a speech,” began Janeane Garofalo in her interview with MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann Wednesday. “Let’s be very honest about what this is about,” she continued, “it’s not about bashing Democrats, it’s not about taxes, they have no idea what the Boston Tea Party was about.”

“That’s right,” agreed a grinning Olbermann.

“They don’t know their history at all,” the actress from such films as Mystery Men and, more recently, the acclaimed television show 24 ranted. “This is about hating a black man in the White House. [Pleasant grunts from the sportscaster-turned-pundit.] This is racism straight-up. That is nothing but a bunch of teabagging rednecks, and there is no way around that. You know, you can tell these type of right-wingers anything and they’ll believe it, except the truth.”

The actress went on to say that the brains of conservatives, whom she compared to white power activists, are deformed, causing them to think unreasonably. Apparently, Garofalo has played a brain surgeon in one of her films, giving her the expertise to make such vivid diagnoses. Why not? For what is the difference between making medical calls and explaining to the American people how they should politically think? She is expert in neither, yet she received national television time to expound her view.

Garofalo’s ridiculous hate-filled diatribe on Wednesday does reveal one thing about the brains of the two people on the MSNBC stage that evening, however. They honestly believe that there are those in America who are interested in their opinion. Throughout the weekend, Garofalo’s mocking comments were replayed on several stations.

This is another flashback from my blog, a reprint of one of my first pieces, written soon after the Tax Day Tea Party. Since Janeane Garofalo has been invited to the July 4 Tea Parties, I thought it might be an interesting read for some who may have forgotten her stupidity.

Because you like beating yourself about the head and shoulders with the claw end of a rusty hammer?

That's the only possible reason I can imagine.

I was really hoping she’d get knocked-off in ‘24.’

Well Jeanine Thingy,

if you were right and we were just a bunch of nuts who could be told anything and we’d believe it, why don’t we believe anything that you say? After all you’re just a vacant talking head given a soapbox to blather from, why don’t we buy the garbage you’re spewing out, if we are stupid enough to believe anything????

Moron.

Garofalo..isn’t that the sound that Chaz Bono makes when he’s snarfling Janeane?

That was uncalled for.

She's ugly enough as it is, in features and in persona.

Cheers!
