This can only mean one thing--time for more calls! ;-)

We need to turn the heat up white-hot on NBC to dump perky Katie Couric. Her egregious comments calling the pulling down of Saddam's statues a 'desecration', is in my opinion the worst thing any Lefty in the press said through this whole thing--and obviously, it takes alot to claim that particular prize.

The woman is demented, and her continued employment in any responsible capacity in the media is an insult to the American people and to our troops in the field.

"We do not wish to see the faces of liberal Hollywood, particularly those that provided aid and comfort to Saddam Hussein," one protestor, 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."

We have seen the enemy...and he has email.

It would be nice to see Garofalo go through embarassment of having her series air once or twice and THEN die from lack of audience.
What is curious here is we are playing into Janeane's subconscious desires. So much of her act/persona is about being unlikeable/unapproachable.

I would rather the bimbo get her show the the advertisers drop her like a hot potato. Much more humiliating.

I think it's important that we continue to FReep ABC about JANEANE Garofalo's new show. Now is the time to show our outrage about that anti-American idiot.

Putting her face in front of a camera should be considered desecration.

April 10, 2003 -- The high cost of Bush-bashing

JANEANE Garofalo's relentless bashing of President Bush might have doomed her new ABC sitcom.

Garofalo is set to play a producer of a TV newsmagazine on "Slice O'Life." But ABC has been deluged with calls and e-mails from patriotic types threatening to boycott the network and its advertisers if the sitcom gets on the schedule, reports MSNBC.com's Jeannette Walls.

"We do not wish to see the faces of liberal Hollywood, particularly those that provided aid and comfort to Saddam Hussein," one protestor, 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."

ABC reps had no comment.

The war "is a manufactured conflict for the sake of geopolitical dominance," Garofalo declared to the Washington Post in January, in one of her many outbursts against the president. "There is no evidence of weapons of mass destruction. You never even get that idea floated in the mainstream media. If you bring it up, they hate the messenger. You've ruined everyone's good time.

"I won't stick my head in the sand and have history roll right over me," she declared. "I refuse to allow my government and the mainstream media to bully me into accepting a war that is immoral and illegal. If it means people make fun of me or think I'm a jerk, or I lose a job here and there, that means nothing to me."

Meanwhile, an ad the Dixie Chicks shot for Lipton Brisk iced tea might never air. The commercial was filmed before lead singer Natalie Maines told a concert crowd last month they were ashamed that Bush hails from their home state of Texas.

Radio stations around the country banned the Dixie Chicks' music and their new album suffered a 40 percent decline in sales.

Chicago-based ad agency Leo Burnett created the Lipton commercial which - unbeknownst to Lipton or the Dixie Chicks, sources say - was shot at the former Spahn Movie Ranch outside L.A., the infamous Manson family hangout.

Brisk is a joint venture between Pepsi and Unilever. Execs at both corporations fear a Dixie Chicks endorsement might actually hurt sales and are debating whether to air the spot. A Pepsi rep referred to it as a "Unilever situation" and referred calls to their rep, who could not be reached.


Star power


DETAILS magazine claims that Hollywood is obsessed with the size of its leading men. It says a list has been kept since the 1940s, updated through a post office box in Palm Springs, of those who "share one singular chracteristic: big box office" in the realm of physical endowment. Besides Liam Neeson, Matt Dillon and Kevin Costner, Details names Bruce Willis, Jason Priestley and Sean Penn. "One celebrity stylist claims to have heard (from gossipy ex-girlfriends he's worked with)" that Tobey Maguire, Johnny Depp and Colin Farrell are particularly well-endowed.


Back to Hanoi


JUST call her "Baghdad Barbarella." Jane Fonda told a lecture audience in Vancouver the other day that the "entire world" will turn against the U.S. after the war in Iraq. "What it's going to mean for [America's] stability as a nation, for terrorism, for the economy, I can't imagine," Fonda declared. "I think the entire world is going to be united against us. I don't know if a country where the people are so ignorant of reality and of history, if you can call that a free world."

BILL O'REILLY: If you are wrong… and if the United States — and they will, this is going to happen — goes in, liberates Iraq [with] people in the street, American flags, hugging our soldiers… you gonna apologize to George W. Bush?

JANEANE GARAFALO: I would be so willing to say, "I'm sorry". I hope to God that I can be made a buffoon of, that people will say, "You were wrong. You were a fatalist". And I will go to the White House on my knees on cut glass and say, "Hey, you and Thomas Friedman were right… I shouldn't have doubted you"…

Calling Janeane Garafolo...

I'm writing them and calling them...

If I have anything to contribute to this be-hatch not getting on the air, I'll do my share.

Stay ugly, greasy, frumpy, and unemployed, Janeane...what a skank...

The only reason I need to boycott ABC is the dour, defeatist America-hating PETER JENNINGS.

Artie Lang on the Howard Stern show had the funniest line about this when he said this morning:

"The real losers in this are the American people who will never get to see this terrific show."

There was much hooting and laughter following that bit of sarcasm.

Slice O' Life?

Never heard of it. Doesn't sound like a winner anyway.

Garofalo is such a twit. She is utterly clueless, but she seems to think that by putting on those horn-rimmed glasses, her IQ automatically goes up. I would pay to see O'Reilly or Kilmeade take her apart again.
