FNC's Brian Kilmeade Takes on Janeane Garofalo

I thought Rush made a great point, so it was frustrating. Didn't get the whole thing, thought I'd heard most, but missed a very important piece. I didn't aim to rank out Rush, just tried to make the point that the right prepares so much for these few and far between debates that the left "grants" it/us, that it may be time to just get in and take the heat Like Hannity did today having Joseph Kennedy on the radio today. And let the constructive criticism (Rush) be aired, and the abuse risen above.
Humble appreciation for the info.

It's about time they gave Lauren Green a shot at hosting!

Even though Fox and Friends runs here in Arizona between 3am and 6am I am still a longtime fan. This whole episode gives the impression that the show is something of a shouting match. Its not. The normal atomsphere for the show is like sitting around with some of your best buddies and shooting the breeze. These folks are generally funny and friendly. In order to really rile them like this Saddamite did you've got to be extraordinarily dense and stupid.

Sheryl Crow was forming some group called Musicians Against War. . . .

OK, so what group is Sheryl herself going to be a part of?

[Kip Lange]

Somebody set Janeane up the Kilmeade!!!!

And, of course, let's not forget how Mr. T would have dealt with her:

ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO MR. T

(and more huzzahs to Brian Kilmeade, although this has got to be the last one, posted too many to too many threads already :p)

Launch all 'Zig'!

[awelliott]

I strongly suggest we email Brian Kilmeade with mega-kudos for this. He needs to know that he has about 100,000 new fans at FReerepublic.com!

Done. Thanks for the address!

Brian is a what you see and hear is what you get kind of guy. He is straight forward and often very funny although I don't think he means to be funny, He is just so straight forward and says what he really thinks. He made mince meat of that liberal convoluted thinker, Garofalo, who spouts disinformation and prevarications like some great prophet of Islam. Now, she is funny! She takes herself so seriously. I enjoy watching Brian and the gang on FOX early AMs.

[TAIPAN22001]

No one can out-finesse the liberals like Rush Limbaugh, but under the rather spontaneous circumstances, Brian Kilmeade was awesome in dismantling that ARROGANT, HOSTILE, POMPOUS liberal airhead janeann buffalo, or whatever she calls herself. His best shot was to say that the only reason she was being listened to was because of her being a celebrity. Bravo for Brian for having the balls to stand up to just another obnoxious liberal celebrity a$$hole! A definite TKO for Mr. Kilmeade!

My neighbor's dog left a pile of Garofalo on my lawn that I have to go clean up.

[Claire Voyant]

has Sheryl Scarecrow made ANY other song besides ..All I wanna Do is Have Some Fun?? Or is her big claim to fame giving a BJ to Clinton??

[Kip Lange]

You know, I've heard Garofalo talk about how she's "attracted to men she shouldn't be" or something like that (she was saying this in reference to Craig Kilborn back when he was hosting The Daily Show), or rather, attracted to men she dislikes, so, I'd just like to add, since she fessed up to having fantasies about Kilborn...who also started as a sports guy...one has to wonder if she isn't having naughty dreams about Brian. ;-)

Bahahahaha. Oh man, it was rich to see her get slapped around like that. I don't know why you have to predicate your post with Rush-lathering -- yeah, he's great, but c'mon, this was more like a nice big uppercut from the Regular Guy to Fabian Socialists. Completely different set of circumstances. Plus, Garofalo ain't never going to show on Rush...she was probably all set up for a softball session on F&F, and quite unpleasantly surprised. And then *pow*. Yee-haw!

[George W. Bush]

That little twit, with her, "Boy do I feel so smart and superior with my glasses on" attitude

Yeah, she has those black glasses so she can look serious and intellectual and very Leftish. There's actually a long history of this sort of Left fashion. Sometimes they wear berets or adopt something like a Chinese Mao outfit to show their solidarity with the working classes of Communist countries.

Garofalo's problem is she isn't quite bright enough to pull off the role of Lefty dissident. She's not very well informed. But she is a useful idiot for the old communist groups that organized the protests.

[FreedomPoster]

A friend to whom I sent a link for the video clip of this observed that she's here in town tomorrow, I guess doing stand-up comedy. He was wondering if we should show up out front. My thought is, Why give this woman any more free publicity?

[George W. Bush]

I'd say Janeane is very lucky tht E.D. is still out on maternity leave. E.D. would have simply shredded her and a lot less politely than Brian did.

Even so, Brian did quite well and I'm more impressed with him the longer he's on the show. When he first came on, I thought he was a slow-witted sports guy. But he's getting more confident, has a real wit even when not being scripted, and can think for himself in situations where the scripts don't dictate his every word.

O'Reilly exposed her last night about that trip she took with Clinton's to Bosnia to entertain the troops, this is what it's all about folks, when the Clintons did it it was Just fine.

[Kip Lange]

Garofalo's problem is she isn't quite bright enough to pull off the role of Lefty dissident.

Don't you mean "stupid enough"? :p

It's getting to be REALLY enjoyable to make fun of liberals. I had forgotten how fun this *was*, after all those Clinton years. There's nothing better than seeing them out of power, because it's the one thing they lust for, and there's nothing better than seeing them go thermonuclear when they can't defend a point (where your average conservative would smirk or perhaps blurt out, "Now listen, you queer, stop calling me a crypto-Nazi or I’ll sock you in your goddamn face and you’ll stay plastered.")

[Kip Lange]

Shh. I'm hoping Lauren never leaves. Hush. :p

[PJ-Comix]

Kilmeade: "So you just distrust this government inherently, you distrust Colin Powell when he sat there and said 'Here is intercepts of Iraqis trying to cover up nerve gas, you distrust that?"

Garofalo: "Yes I, first of all the British dossier, the British dossier was bogus and you know it."

So that moron Garofolo thinks the phone intercept that we actually HEARD of one Iraqi telling another not to discuss nerve agents over the phone is fake. I guess she doesn't believe her own ears and believes Powell is a liar.

[Kip Lange]

She fell into the rhetorical traps SO easily. That was pure bait to bring forward the "Powell's report was plagiarized" horses**t to make her look stupid, and she didn't even recognize it. How many times have you seen conservatives laugh off stuff like this and turn it back on reporters? Liberals, no...again, they take themselves so deadly seriously. All good people are liberals, you see, and they just can't FATHOM how anybody could be anything else, because Republicans are Evil. It's not differing ideologies anymore. There are few real liberals left, and the few that are left that can hold coherent debate, I salute.

It's so easy to get these modern liberals in absolute temper tantrums, crying fits, and other absurd histrionics that it almost isn't even fun doing it anymore. Now, I did say *almost*... ;-)

[Kip Lange]

Well, not to mention that her stand-up routine is boring, dry, and nothing to write home about(she's a better actress). I even find Ellen DeGeneres and Paula Paundstone funnier, and that's saying a lot, because they...aren't funny.
