Janeane Garofalo drew a fair amount of unwarranted flack a couple years ago when she dared to take a role on 24, a show whose torture-filled plotlines don't quite match up with her own well-known progressive views. Now that same old non-issue is back in the news because Garofalo has told The Village Voice that she snubbed such fine Americans as Rush Limbaugh and Lynne Cheney when they visited the set of 24. "I refused to have my picture taken with them or meet them or anything," Garofalo recalled. "When somebody came to me privately and said 'do you want to meet them?', I said absolutely not." Good for her! The fact that Garofalo acts in an apparently right-leaning fictional television show does not obligate her to get pals-y in real life with the likes of Limbaugh and Cheney.
In fact, it sounds to me like Garofalo was far nicer than she needed to be. She told the Voice that she "didn't want to make a scene out of it" when Limbaugh and Cheney arrived: "I would never have made a big show of it and embarrassed people who worked there." Let me tell you, if I was offered the opportunity to greet Rush Limbaugh, I don't know if I'd be able to muster that kind of polite restraint. Gawker, meanwhile, actually faults Garofalo for not making a bigger scene: "But, hey, at least Garofalo mounted a private act of semi-defiance, which may or may not have been noticed, in between cashing paychecks." Yes, Gawker, your liberal activist cred is soooo much more impressive and purer than Janeane Garofalo's. Holier-than-thou FAIL.
I guess Garofalo is just damned if she does, damned if she doesn't for some people. What do you think? Should she have done something differently when Rush and Lynne graced her with their presences? Do you even care about this?
The gawdawfull-ho is LYING.
Last time Rush was on the 24 set, she was not even on the cast yet.
Why the hell would anyone on the right want to meet trash like her?
no doubt jeananne would get horny in a pic with fidel and hugo.
Im sure she ran off screaming like a little girl
Hey Jeaneane: it’s hard to talk when you’re teabagging.
Liberals are so kind and nice to everyone, aren’t they?
I am sure Limbaugh and Cheney would have been as polite as possible... But she just couldn’t bring herself to grace them with her presence.
“Should she have done something differently when Rush and Lynne graced her with their presences? “
Janeane Garofalo WAS LYING!
It has already been said that she wasn’t even on the set, much less on the show, when Rush was last there.
Janeane had one of those Joe Biden moments.
They sure would of. She was probably afraid she might have to debate them also. lol!
yeah right! People aren’t as dumb as you and the other voices in your head.
JG's LOSS.
The way she said it, too; like she was in elementary school and proud she didn't get coodies from a boy...
WHAT IS SHE ....9???
Simon Vozick-Levinson <—who is this POS?
So this ugly broad didn’t want to have her picture taken with Rush and Cheney? Gee, I wonder if they’ll ever get over it!
Why would anyone want to meet Limbaugh either?
Two media people at odds. Big whoop.
C U next tuesday, liar.
Janeane Garofalo WAS LYING!
...just like peepveep Biden when he spoke about a nonexistent meeting with W. The truth comes hard to far left loons.
Don’t you love this “tolerance” that the Liberals preach?
We learned one thing about JG - she has a price. She apparently has no problem appearing on a show that advocates doing what is necessary to protect this country if she’s being paid enough.
As far as not meeting with Limbaugh and Cheney? Well, that just proves she’s a racist. (Hey, it makes about as much sense as her assertion that anyone who disagrees with Obama is a racist.)
