’24' cast member Janeane Garofalo: Show was ploy to ‘frighten’ public of a Hillary presidency

It’s been two and a half years since the last episode of Fox’s thriller television series “24,” but the show is evidently still fresh on liberal comedienne and former “24″ star Janeane Garofalo’s mind.

In an appearance on the January 3 episode of the “Going Off Track” podcast, Garofalo said show creator and executive producer Joel Surnow picked certain cast members to make liberals — particularly Hillary Clinton — look bad.

“That was actually a joke I think Joel Surnow was trying to plant,” Garofalo said. “He hated my politics and Air America. He’s a real right-winger. He actually worked with the Republican Party producing propaganda campaigns with them.”

On “24,” Garofalo played FBI agent Janis Gold, a character who would often voice displeasure with the use of torture as an anti-terrorism tactic.

“Actually, Rush Limbaugh and Lynne Cheney would visit the set and stuff like that,” she continued. “But he wanted to make me look like a weak ‘liberal’ on the show. My character got yelled at a number of times by [series protagonist] Jack [Bauer]. Then it got sidetracked by the writers’ strike. He didn’t get to play out the whole thing he had in mind for my character, because there was a writers’ strike. … Joel Surnow I think wanted to humiliate me.”(continued)

I'm betting she sure cashed those paychecks, though...

Who?

[Norm Lenhart]

Liberal morality. Isn’t it beautiful to behold? Shameless and brainless all at once.

[cripplecreek]

Garofalo has been forgotten.

[Army Air Corps]

Some animated “love doll” who believes she has a functioning brain stem.

[Norm Lenhart]

Love doll? Her?? No thanks. I’ll take mine inflatable ;)

[TADSLOS]

What’s a Garafalo? Is that a slang term for oral sex with a long necked mammal?

[Popman]

Janeane Garofalo’s

It's hard to imagine being that dumb, skanky and illiterate at the same time...

...but she pulls it off...

[Baynative]

I was also offended that I was forced to wear sleeves
that didn't allow me to show off my tatts!

[Michael.SF.]

Garafolo: "I think (Surnow) wanted to humiliate me.”

She does this to herself each time she opens that mouth of hers, she just is too stupid to know it.

[TigersEye]

I thought Hillary was a ploy to frighten me about a Hillary presidency!?!

[morphing libertarian]

Yelled at by jack? Well, that certainly proves she was singled out.

[Dr. Pritchett]

Wait, is she the one who dated Jimmy Kimmel or the fat Korean one?!?

[doc1019]

True dat

[Chode]

like Christopher said, bookyak...

[Political Junkie Too]

Really?

Is she forgetting about Powers Boothe's gung-ho acting president?

Or what about Gregory Itzen's Richard Nixon look-alike Charles Logan?

-PJ

[Baynative]

But isn't is ironic that "24" began it's run with season one being about the administration of a strong and patriotic black president? The kind that might have made America proud and paved the way for more to follow.

All the "Hollywood CAPITALISTS" do it....funny thing about that.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I wonder if she ever watched any of the episodes. I’ve seen every one of them. I don’t remember Hillary or liberals ever coming to my mind while watching any of them.

Fugly in mind & body...
Can you imagine?:
Seeing something like that show up with your son for a family event?
Seeing something like later in life as some poor unfortunate kids grandmother?
Seeing something like in any position of authority over ordinary citizens?

Gagafolo is as hateful a loony leftard as any out there.
Her type would truely love to see any conservative sent to a re-education camp,
& failing that, a red-splattered wall and a blindfold.
