A "blonde" Janeane Garofalo is co-host on Crossfire this week

CNN | 08/18/03 | myself

[Pokey78]

She gives dumb blondes a bad name.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Logical progression for a "comedic actress"?

[Mr. K]

I kind of always had a thing for her.

Too bad about the brain...

[Lance Romance]

I already saw the stupid b*tch on Bill Maher program on HBO. Bill Maher has taken his anti-Bush screed to a new level.

It must be filmed in California due to the moronic applause the crowd gives with each anti-Bush line.

[finnman69]

They are having a 'Blondes' Hollywood Squares theme this week. That seems more her speed.

[D. Brian Carter]

As a ditzy blonde myself, I am ashamed... lol.

[Charles Henrickson]

Roots: The Next Generation.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

A "blonde" Janeane Garofalo...

Sounds like she's gunning to be "the fourth Dixie Chick".

[RippleFire]

bump

[finnman69]

As if you need another reason NOT to watch CNN and especially Crossfire.

[ChewedGum]

It's a good thing that blond jokes are still legal here!

I have never seen a woman with so much self hatred, who puts as much effort into lookin ugly as JG. This woman has a self-mutilation streak. I mean, there can't be a blonde as bad as hers(translation: overbleached) plus the most unflattering haircut in the world. Plus those god awful glasses and sack like clothes.

FASHION POLICE! Where are you when we need you.

Geez,
Just go throw acid in your face and get it overwith.

[Timesink]

Sure says a lot about what CNN thinks of its viewers that they have an uneducated actress serving as a serious political commentator!

Schadenfreude

This is the New York Times CNN Schadenfreude Ping List. Freepmail me to be added or dropped.

This is the nascent Mainstream Media Shenanigans ping list. Please freepmail me to be added or dropped.
Please note this will likely become a high-volume list.
Also feel free to ping me if you come across a thread you would think worthy of the ping list. I can't catch them all!

[Pokey78]

She's also ditched the glasses. Truthfully, I didn't recognize her to begin with.

[najida]

She looks worse now than I have ever seen her. I saw her with the glasses (maybe she is trying out contacts).

Maybe someone told her blondes have more fun.

[Saundra Duffy]

So how does she look?

[PoorMuttly]

The parade of dignitaries has no end.

[Pokey78]

Plain. very plain.

[najida]

Her hair is too short and too close to her head, her face is real round, so she looks like a Q-tip.

And the shade of blonde is just F-ugly. Clashes with her skin tone. Dear lord, the girl needs therapy (and a month at Elizabeth Arden's)

[Timesink]

Stand back! We can help her!

Oh, who are we kidding, this case is hopeless.

[RonDog]

Before:

CNN.com

[najida]

Seriously,

If those guys got hold of her, they would verbally rip her to shreds and all that would be left were her Birkenstocks and navel stud.

I would pay to see that!

[finnman69]

[Saundra Duffy]

So where's the "after"? Are all of you horn dogs (no offense) getting all excited over her blonde hair? LOL!

[Saundra Duffy]

Oh, so that's how she looks with blonde hair. She looks better . . . but those glasses!!

[najida]

Like I said,
A Q-tip.

[DoughtyOne]

No thanks. BARF ALERT!!!!

[NEWwoman]

I saw on another thread that they are in the process of outlawing "Blonde" jokes in Bosnia. Maybe she is anticipating this PC law to come to America, so she can sue us for making fun of her? Hmmmmmmm..........

[Charles Henrickson]

After:

[4mycountry]

*falls over and dies* oh dear god.

[Cathryn Crawford]

I kept squinting at the TV, trying to figure out if that was who I thought it was.

[johnb838]

A little off topic but I've been thinking that a could crossfire team would be Patty Buchanan from the right and Chrissie Matthews from the left. Then they could eat each others livers and we'd be done with them.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Some wiseacre at CNN thought this would get the show some attention. Not mine. JG refusing to apologize for her utter inept judgement on the IRAQI people's reaction to their liberation--which she promised to do on national tv--is enough for me to say "no thanks" to tuning into her for any specific reason.

Sorry CNN, no dice.

[Tamzee]

It would almost be worth watching just for the chuckles ;-)

[RightOnline]

"Sure says a lot about what CNN thinks of its viewers that they have an uneducated actress serving as a serious political commentator!"

Kinda says it all for me.

[Grampa Dave]

The Communist Nuts Net or the Clintoon Noodling Net have one requirement for a person to host or be on their political talk shows.

That person has to be a lunatic lib who hates GW more than $oddomite.

[cincysux]

Unbopable

[pogo101]

Know what I don't understand about the hatred of Garofalo, Maher, et al. for Bush? It's that Bush isn't really substantially more conservative than his father, Ronald Reagan, or other prominent figures associated with Republican politics. And yet he is hated by these people in a way I haven't seen since Nixon -- who at least gave some excuse for being reviled. WTH?

[cincysux]

That has to be the cast of the Queer eye show. I've never seen them, but the caption helps. The most obvious thing is that they do look like a bunch of happy guys, according to libs I'm supposedly bad for stereotyping them, but they do look like a bunch of homo's.

[Lizavetta]

Hair color doesn't matter. If you put lipstick on Godzilla it's still an ugly beast.

[Tall_Texan]

Knowing CNN, she'll be arguing the viewpoint "from the right". A REAL lefty will be arguing "from the left".

[roadcat]

"Know what I don't understand about the hatred"

Supposedly Arnold said to be a Democrat means having an illness (or something like that). This phenomenom of Democrats foaming at the mouth has me puzzled too. They are so angry at Bush, and for what? I'm thinking Arnold is on to a clue here. Democrats know they are wrong, they're trying to cover up the truth, and because they're having a hard time dealing with Demo lies and deceit, they are going mad in the process. They simply can't deal with the fact that they're the bad guys here!

[Clintons Are White Trash]

ROFL - or as they say - you can't polish a turd.

[faithincowboys]

Speechless....

I am in shock and awe, but she can't be worse than Begala-- who is a demogouge in woman's panties. I really think Begala
does some strange things (like lip stick and hide the johnson in front of a mirror while listening to techno) in his off hours. He has always really had a creepy vibe.

[Ann Archy]

You got that right about Begala....only Carvile is worse, but then all the others are tied for turd...uh..third.

[Dante3]

Maybe her secret desire is to win the "Miss Aryan Nation" contest.

It's quite simple, IMHO: Bush took their power away. Whenever Bush 41, Reagan, or any other Republican has been in the White House going all the way back to the Hoover Administration (except for an aberration from 1953-55), the RATS have always maintained control of at least one house on Congress, and usually controlled both. Now they control nothing. Combine that with the fact that liberalism as an ideology has become intellectually bankrupt over the last 30 years, and as a result the Democratic Party has devolved into a corrupt organization concerned only with maintaining power above all else, and you're left with a bunch of SERIOUSLY PISSED-OFF losers.

It helps that Bush pulled this off despite the fact that the RATS dismissed him from the very beginning of his campaign as "Dumbya," a drunken frat boy who could never possibly pose a real challenge to the brilliant Albert Gore, Jr. He played the Democrats for the fools they are, and that just made them even angrier.

Amusingly, this hatred is also why the Democrats are doomed to lose in 2004. They continue to be consumed by hate, and they mistakenly believe that most of the Democratic base is just as angry. Their entire platform is going to be "Get Bush," and all that's going to do is energize the REPUBLICAN base, to the extent that it will energize anybody. (Cf. Florida 2002, when Terry McAuliffe ordered money be shifted from the New York state gubernatorial campaign - leaving an African-American candidate out to dry, like the hypocritical racists they are - into Florida, so that they could take out Jeb Bush purely as personal revenge for George W foiling their attempts to steal the 2000 election. Result? Jeb Bush won reelection in a landslide so large the RATS were utterly humiliated.)

(Ironic sidenote: In many ways, Nixon was one of the most liberal presidents of the 20th century. But he had that R after his name...)

[Timesink]

*snicker* I love that line.

[alnick]

I think that it's because he didn't step aside and allow Gore to be president despite Gore having lost the election.

[faithincowboys]

You know what makes it so funny? It's probably accurate. That is one weird dude.
