Jeannine Garofalo lands role on "The West Wing"
Fox News | 8/19/05

Posted on 08/19/2005 12:26:23 AM PDT by LarryDeRobio

Just heard on Fox News that Jeannine Garofalo will be joining the cast of "The West Wing," playing a political advisor.

Wonderful, a woman who masquerades as a political analyst in real life will now be pretending to be a political advisor on television. Is this art imitating life or life imitating art, or just a bad acid trip?

I guess she needed to pay the bills and someone threw her a bone in light of the problems over at Airhead America.

What's up Jeannine? That radio career not paying off as lucratively as you hoped? Did the gravy-train of swindling children and old folk's homes dry up?

Children and their playtime. I understand it's beneficial for them to engage in pretend adult activities.

That's all The West Wing really is. They think it's some sort of shadow government, but it's just the political equivalent of playing with GI Joes or Easy Bake ovens.

Apologies, Keith. Will do so in the future. Feel like a Garofalo. Won't happen again.

Heh, yeah, never use it. Its pretty lame compared to google. Local search seems to only look at titles.

Garofalo is a perfect fit for that show.
They should bring Michael Moore aboard, too.

I think it's just wrong to mention sacred parts of our childhoods such as GI Joes or Easy Bake ovens in the same breath as West Wing or Garofalo.

This one goes out ot all those who think the MSM is no longer pure liberal through and through. Sure, some of them have adopted some SURFACE changes in programming trying to copy the Fox model but the whole picture, the entire media can not change it's soul.

"They should bring Michael Moore aboard, too."

If they do they'll need to buy more doughnuts...and weigh down the East Wing to balance things out.

I made sure to separate the two with a period. I think we're safe.

Anyway, now that I think of it, they probably didn't even play with such sexist toys growing up, as evidenced by the way they turned out.

That really hits the mark, and I think they believe it.

Right, while little Jeannine was protesting forced domesticity and ripping the heads off the warmongering GI Joe's, little (big) Mikey Moore ate all of the cakes they made in the Easy Bake.

I've never watched West Wing, but let me guess...the president is a democrat, right? The only way they can have one it to make up a pretend one.

Bingo! I've never watched it either, but the Pres is Martin frickin' Sheen brother!
