Protesters attack Garofalo show

April 9 — Will another anti-war celeb take a career hit? Bush supporters have been deluging ABC with calls and e-mails, complaining about a sitcom the network has in development starring outspoken war protester Janeane Garofalo.

ABC HAS reportedly been working on the comedy, in which Garofalo plays a producer at a TV newsmagazine. The pro-war protesters are threatening to organize a major campaign against ABC, including a boycott of advertisers, if the network airs the show. “We do not wish to see the faces of liberal Hollywood, particularly those that provided aid and comfort to Saddam Hussein,” protester Jon Alvarez e-mailed ABC. “We will stand up and fight for our right to request their exclusion from shows and sponsors that seek our attention.”

Spokesmen for ABC and Garofalo had no comment.

"Good luck to her getting laughs when she decides to get back to comedy."

IMHO, if the show does air, it will be canceled within one month.

"Is that your personal photo of Ms. Garafalo?"

Nah -- Arafat's double has much better teeth than Garofalo.

I'm saddened

And I have questions, many questions.

Like: Who are these pro- war protesters this article speaks of?

I'd love to see her on Fox & Friends and watch Slugfest II with Brian Kilmeade. Brian was over in Kuwait with the soldiers before the start of Operation Iraqui Freedom and he was great, just great!

In other news:

ABC has announced it has a tentative agreement signed with "Baghdad Bob" the former Iraqi Information Minister.
He is expected to replace Petah Jennings, because they've determined that Baghdad Bob's misinformation is more in line with ABC's directives.

I for one look forward to Ms Garofalo sitcom airing. From what little I've seen of her "comedy" I predict the show will be such a bomb that it'll make the MOAB look like a firecracker.

O'REILLY: If you are wrong… and if the United States — and they will, this is going to happen — goes in, liberates Iraq [with] people in the street, American flags, hugging our soldiers… you gonna apologize to George W. Bush?

GARAFALO: I would be so willing to say, "I'm sorry". I hope to God that I can be made a buffoon of, that people will say, "You were wrong. You were a fatalist". And I will go to the White House on my knees on cut glass and say, "Hey, you and Thomas Friedman were right… I shouldn't have doubted you"…

Calling Janeane Garafolo...

I don't know why ABC bothers to produce sitcoms, their news is funny enough.

"It Wasn't Hip to Protest Clinton's Wars"

And hip is so much more important the right or wrong.

If she feels the hit, she'll never say. She doesn't seem the type to make conciliatory gestures of good will.
