Guilty

Four years ago "24" actress Mary Lynn Rajskub was quoted as saying "I got into acting to avoid politics." Unlike most of her liberal colleagues, Miss Rajskub didn't discuss the subject and acted very accepting towards conservatives. The actress appeared on the Laura Ingraham Show and was photographed in Rush Limbaugh's studio.
Everything changed the moment Rush Limbaugh planted an innocent tiny kiss on her at 2006 Heritage Foundation Panel discussing the show 24.
Outrage was the reaction amongst her peers. Ex-boyfriend Duncan Trussell supposedly asked "when he kissed you did he suck out your soul and replace it with maggots?"
Talk show after talk show, people kept asking Rajskub if she was dating Limbaugh. The picture of Limbaugh kissing her was shown over and over again for several months.
And that's all it took for Rajskub to start distancing herself for accepting conservatives.
Over the past year on her twitter page, the actress has dissed Sarah Palin and claimed she "hates" the Tea Party. She claimed to "hate" Glenn Beck months after appearing on his show where he showed a big interest in her paintings and even displayed her work on his website. Rajskub made fun of Christine O'Donnell on Craig Ferguson's show just a few weeks ago.
In the past week, the actress started to complain that while she still liked America, she was sick and tired of all the "BS" going on in the country. Her political career was set to be lauched in 10 years.
And now the actress is demanding well all vote DEMOCRAT to make sure the country stays in the right direction. Link:

Rajskub's newfound political activism is hard to believe given her age (39), the number of years she spent dating leftists (David Cross, Jon Brion and Duncan Trussell). If a leftwinger like Cross wasn't enough to convert her to political activism, why start now all of a sudden?
Rajskub's transformation is very surprising given her entire fortune can be tied to conservatism. It was conservative producer Joel Surnow who wrote the role of Chloe for her. It was Surnow who fought the other producers to keep her on the show. And it was because of Surnow she became a a big enough household name to have her own standup comedy show. Without her conservative producer and big conservative fanbase, Ms. Rajskub would be a little known standup comedian.
I guess none of this matters now that she is unemployed. But will being another left wing activist (and hardly a believable one) really help her career when she will always be typecast as Chloe? It certainly won't endear her to the millions of fans who loved her on 24.
Because she’s also exceedingly stupid.
You need to loosen your tinfoil hat occasionally to get a little circulation to your brain. You’re a nut, so go ahead and call me names.

I started to figure that out when I started reading her twitter. And her messages on politics sound like something a 10 year old would say. “I hate Glenn Beck!” “There is BS in this country!” “I’m a witch like Christine O’Donnell!” Nothing of substance whatsoever!
She certainly is no Chloe.

The funny thing is that Garofalo’s comments, as crazy as they are, reflect someone who is informed (well informed by left wing media). Mary Lynn just sounds like a 5 year old parroting back what her friend said.
And to think that photo represented 1 second of her entire life.
No matter what her politics are, by being outwardly antagonistic to conservatives, she has just alienated half her fan base. Is that necessary? Does that endear her more to her “Hollywood friends”? I think that’s the key even if she didn’t care one whit about politics, it’s popular to bash conservatives in Hollywood and maybe she needs to think she’s popular.
It is the biggest thing that happened to her. She just does not get it was a good thing. She does not get jobs in Hollywood because she is ugly.
Half of them never finished high school.
Look at the change in Kevin Costner. Once a conservative, he ended up sitting next to Hillary at the dim's convention.
I doubt if she knew who Rush was when she was on that panel. I saw that show, and was astounded at how stupid she came off.
So now we have the chance to make sure this moron’s work never gets our money.
I know I will.
That’s exactly how I feel. The comment she made on twitter about hating the Tea Partiers was what first really shocked me. She was trying to impress her screenwriter friend Jhoni Marchinko, a left wing activist. She might as well have dissed the 24 fans as well. It’s one thing to make fun of Sarah Palin but to claim she HATES the Tea Party, means she hates you and me. She hates her fans and she hates ordinary Americans. A real shame.
Yes, we should all live in caves and work on our manifestos. /s lol
Rush not only should have known better, he DID know better. I guess it's kind of nice to know that even a great guy like Rush makes the same kinds of mistakes I do.
ROTFL
I would need big beer glasses.
