Whenever Garofalo is faced with a question she can't answer, which is often indeed, she resorts to inane attempts at humor. Of course this does little to strengthen the foundation of her position. Rather, it justifies the belief that she knows little of which she speaks. But then, we are supposed to remember she is a comedian, albeit not a very funny one.

As for her "protests" against Clinton's foreign policies, particularly regarding Irag and Kosovo, she was non-existent. And she knows it. Hence the "funny" admission that she had spit. Ha, ha. You funny girl...

At the end of the interview, Tony Snow asked if she would support our troops and, naturally, she said she would. Unfortunately, Snow managed to let her off the hook by not following up with another question, "If we go to war against Irag, will you then support our troops' quest for victory?"

I would have been interested in hearing her shuck and jive her way around that one. We probably would have been treated to more of that well-known Garofalo humor...the kind she displays in most of her movies.

Let's face it...Irag, terrorism, et.al. has done wonders in resuscitating dead entertainment careers. Springsteen, McCartney and others have literally been able to cash in by wrapping themselves in the American flag. Others, like Garofalo, Mike Farrell and Sean Penn, are trying the opposite approach and are meeting with little success...thankfully.

GAROFALO: Yes, there's been a lot of people who have been mass murderers...
Also, the sanctions, you could say, have been responsible for mass murder.

Saddam Hussein is responsible for the sanctions against his country, and any deaths it has caused, not the United States. Can we please take up a fund to send her a one way ticket to Baghdad?

That ending is just a clever way for a Conservative interviewer to make it clear that he isn't calling the Liberal "unAmerican" or a "traitor". If she hadn't answered the way she did, there would have been an even softer ball.
