Protesters attack Garofalo show

April 9 — Will another anti-war celeb take a career hit? Bush supporters have been deluging ABC with calls and e-mails, complaining about a sitcom the network has in development starring outspoken war protester Janeane Garofalo.

ABC HAS reportedly been working on the comedy, in which Garofalo plays a producer at a TV newsmagazine. The pro-war protesters are threatening to organize a major campaign against ABC, including a boycott of advertisers, if the network airs the show. “We do not wish to see the faces of liberal Hollywood, particularly those that provided aid and comfort to Saddam Hussein,” protester Jon Alvarez e-mailed ABC. “We will stand up and fight for our right to request their exclusion from shows and sponsors that seek our attention.”

Spokesmen for ABC and Garofalo had no comment.

He knew that Clinton was lying scum before he even got elected. In fact, he sat at a round table interview with Bubba at the Rolling Stone Magazine offices (or at least the interview was conducted by and for RS).

Hunter S. Thompson just chose to hold his tongue. He's a drug addled old partisan fool. I read Hell's Angels and Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas. I haven't been able to tackle any of his later works. It appears that he is aware that the 1960s ended but he never accepted or got over it.

This is a fact of life that Hollywood LEFTISTS need to get in their small brains ASAP:

If you work in entertainment, you work for the American people. When we stop to watch, you lose your livelihood.

So, let me be the first to say to Ms. Garofalo...


YOU ARE SO FIRED!!!

Been meaning to dig out that issue of RS...interview was at a greasy spoon called Doe's Eats, if memory serves...and it does. HST was pretty adamant that he was taken in by Clinton in the last blurb that I saw on the subject.

Try reading The Great Shark Hunt...a little less Gonzo than some of his stuff.

Well, I think the protests should stop. Let them put the show on the air. She deserves her right to die on national TV just as much as Phil Donahue did

I agree with you. I just hope they can partially arrest the flow of blood from her knees....so that it goes real slow...so we all have enough time to get our shots in.

My recall on that interview was that Hunter Thompson and PJ O'Rourke cut up like Beavis & Butthead in the back of the classroom while RS Editor Jan Wener "serviced" Bill Clinton under the table (figuratively).

Hunter certainly took issue with some of Bubba's "ideas" (like setting up a system based on India's banking system to aid poor people) but quickly fell silent after getting off a one liner here or there.

Hunter still ranks Richard Nixon as the worst. He now puts Bill Clinton up there with him but I think that he still puts Reagan and Bush and Bush ahead of Clinton in his venom (I saw it in some British magazine).

I think that Hunter did some campaign word for Jimmy Carter. Yeah. There was a brilliant president < /sarcasm >.

Didnt she date Garry Shandling at about the same time the show was on.

I seem to remember reading that she was shacked up with him for some time.

I still watch the reruns on Bravo every night at 1am central time. Rip Torn rules on the show.

They(PJ and HST)may have percieved Clinton as the fool he eventually revealed himself to be. In spite of having endorsed him, I don't really think HST figured he could win. Better to back a Dem and lose than a Pubbie and win in his circle, no doubt. Kinda the approach that the DNC took in the war(note to DNC: wrong again, assholes.) Good ol' Jann Weiner...I think the last 2 RS issues that I squirreled away were the Clinton endorsement and the Gore endorsement issues...the guy can sure pick 'em.

But has every single person in Iraq including the comatose and day old babies cheered? That's what she meant.

A sitcom about an ultra-liberal deciding what is newsworthy?

We laugh because it's sad. We laugh becuase it's true.

>>"It Wasn't Hip to Protest Clinton's Wars"

Oh, yes, I understand her dilemma...Many has been the time I've had to make the choice of going to the grocery store or not...Feeding my family...Taking my children to the doctor...

OH, WHAT IS THE "HIP" THING TO DO, DAMMIT???

Just the thought that someone as seemingly well spoken and intelligent as Garafalo, can continually ooze the puss of ignorance...allows me the comfort.....that here at FR...I am truly at home.

I've come to the conclusion that the only value in liberals is to use them as a right/wrong compass...Whatever they say to do, do the opposite...Whenever they stand to oppose anything, FULL SPEED AHEAD!!!

"When Communist U.S.S.R. was a superpower, the world was better off." -- Garafolo


drive this whor* into the poorhouse.

Don't see anything she is in, backs, directs or even breathes on--

since she hates capitalism so much I dont think she should be able to profit from it--

The first Garafolo quote was from an interview in Buzz Magazine, 1988.
