EDITORIAL: Hollywood vs. Rush Limbaugh
The Washington Times ^ | April 22, 2009 | Editorial

Posted on 04/22/2009 3:47:10 AM PDT by Scanian

1; Hollywood: 0. Janeane Garofalo - actress, liberal activist and failed radio host - went after Rush Limbaugh, the nation's top-rated talk-radio host, during a recent interview with the Village Voice. She said she almost turned down her role in the hit Fox series "24" because of "the right-wing nature of a couple of the writers." To prove her liberal credibility, she added that: "When Rush Limbaugh visited the set, and when Lynne Cheney visited the set, I refused to have my picture taken with them or meet them or anything."

Few screenwriters write such good fiction. The problem with Ms. Garofalo's script is that she wasn't on the cast when Mr. Limbaugh visited the set.

Radio Equalizer's blogger Brian Maloney emailed Mr. Limbaugh about the mystery, who stated that: "The last time I visited the set of '24,' Garofalo had not been hired to appear in the series. She was not there, she was not a member of the cast the last time I visited. ... This current season, seven, has been in the can since last summer or fall and I have been nowhere near the '24' set for any shoots for this season, which is this lunatic's [Ms. Garofalo's] first season."

The typical plot of a "24" episode climaxes as time runs out for the good guys. While the clock ticks down, star Kiefer Sutherland agonizes that, "We have to do this now. There's not enough time." Ms. Garofalo also has a time problem.

I don’t know how she finds work. Forget about her insane perspectives on life, she’s just a bad actress. Shame on the producers of 24 for hiring someone that adds nothing positive to the show.

I agree about her “acting” abilities. I saw her in “The Truth About Cats and Dogs”. She was definitely the dog.

I saw her in an episode of Two and a half men which I sometimes find tolerable, and she ruined that as well. She makes the cast of PLAN 9 From Outer space look like Shakespearean actors.

Hollyweird making sure they pad the pockets of their own. How in the hell do you explain one of the most vocal liberal moonbats on the planet with a proven record of 0 acting talent getting a full season paying gig on 24?

I don’t know. There have been many good actors on 24 over the years, many liberals. But who cares if they do a good job and entertain us. Sadly, the producers of 24 got it wrong with her.

Right leaning shows are willing to hire leftists, but left wing shows never knowingly hire a conservative. Right wingers should go out of there way to hire other right wingers. That is how the left has taken over so many organizations.

24 have morphed into a liberal fairytale where the bad guys are now an American "BlackWater" type business, blackmailing The President with biological attack upon American cities.

Each commercial break is now headlined with a cast member doing his/her best Algore impersonation.

I can only imagine what next season will bring.

Yeah, it's hard to take anyone who proudly played a character named "Baby Bowler" seriously...

You’re right—conservatives have been playing nice with leftists far too long. They are hateful, vicious people who view decency as weakness, so why bother? The scumbags have declared war on conservatives so let’s treat ‘em like the despicable enemies they are.

Agree 100% and why I have stopped watching the show.

Who cares? I was gone after week 2. Veiwership is down to 10-million/week v. 30-million+ in years past, and for good reasons, the mutt being one but not the only one of them.

I can't get over the delusion of this insignificant twit. What makes her think that Rush or Lynne Cheney would WANT to be photographed with her?

Probably the result of prolonged heavy drug use. Either that or she’s just plain nuts.
