Janeane Garofalo: Flag-Burning Chokes Me With Pride

Funnygal Janeane Garofalo is "insulted" by Old Glory -- and "chokes with pride" when naked gays burn it! That was her shocking admission to L.A.'s hip & trendy Buzz magazine (which folded in 1998).

In a profile entitled "Don't Tread On Janeane," written by Trish Deitch Rohrer, Garofalo fumes: "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 parade on Christopher Street in New York, with naked men and women on a float cheering, 'We're here, 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."

The 1998 time-frame fits within the time-frame of her "conversion" as alluded to in her writings. Is this her? I dunno. I would like to think so, but until independant confirmation, I'll take it with the appropriate grain of salt...

Nothing to explain really. That IS Jeaneane Garafalo and her beliefs!

Shiloh Bucher is someone else entirely.
