Bruins and Celtics both have play-off games and the Red Sox are playing.

“You know, there’s nothing more interesting than seeing a bunch of racists become confused and angry. . . . This is about hating a black man in the White House,” she said.

She's a lying puke.

And this is the same hypocrite who opposed Bill Clinton's wars but admitted "it wasn't hip to protest Clinton".

She's is smearing her political opponents with the oldest play in the book.

Meanwhile, are you still beating your wife?

“She doesn’t really want to talk about that at all,” said Brian Joyce, director of the festival. “She is coming to Somerville to play a comedy festival, not talk politics.”

I love that the left is getting a taste of their own medicine. For years they have been protesting at all kinds of events. Now when someone is protesting them, they say “hey, I’m not here doing politics.”

"I didn't know that an on herr host from Air Amerika would ever say anything political..."

Her chickens are coming home, to ROOST.

I suspect because few care about her political views. She’s a proven idiot and not even a very entertaining comedienne.

Janeane Garofalo wouldn’t even be famous today (and given a stage to make political comments that make wire services) if she’d been political first and an entertainer second.

Well New Bedford is way down near Providence; not sure how many people want to make the trip up to Somerville...though who knows.

>>“She is coming to Somerville to play a comedy festival,

To paraphrase Laura Ingraham, Janeane, shut up and tell
jokes.

I took note in my column about the Tea Parties that when the Left was calling Condi Rice and Colin Powell “house slaves” etc, that she was saying they had Stockholm Syndrome. Janeane in typical Liberal fashion will decide what Black People are supposed to think.

She doesn’t tell jokes. She was on the worst Seinfeld episode ever.

The alt.comedyfest’s site says the price is $32—and you also get “Jamie Kilstein, and Myq Kaplan & Micah Sherman”.

Whoever they are.

A further websearch shows that the other comedians tonight will also be playing at the Burren nearby doing “TOFUnnny:
Vegan Comedy”

Yes.

Her schtick was to be in sorta frumpy and snarky sidekick roles. I suppose if you like that sort of thing, she had a niche. She's gotten a bit old for that now and her political extremism has her come across not as snarky and sarcastic but as angry, bitter, and generally unappealing. Her role on "24" is awful.
