Janeane Garofalo: What a Joke

Warm and fuzzy, cute and cuddly have absolutely nothing in common with the venom spewing Leftist, Janeane Garofalo. Janeane makes her living as a comedienne and as an actor, but her calling seems to be that of emulating a shrew on a bad hair day.

Janeane is now co-host of CNN’s faltering Crossfire TV show, at least for a week anyway. No doubt the wisest at CNN understands their prospective audience far better than ordinary folks who just tune in. In their infinite wisdom they chose to have a spokesperson of Janeane’s unique qualifications to represent the Left and democrats across the nation.

You hit the nail on the head on why I am so angry when I see JG...

She had tremendous potential. She could be really beautiful with little to no effort. She is smart and can be extremely witty.

But there is this bitterness that seems to be eating her from the inside out and just spilling over into her looks, politics, attitude etc...

So, while the rest of us struggle to get by and do well, she just sits there and rots.

I never liked Janeane (she still owes me $7.00 for sitting through her gawdawful Reality Bites movie), but attacking the great Ray Stevens?!?!?! Sacrilege!

Except for this comparison:

Coulter's rational arguments represent the thinking of the Right.

Garafalo's irrational arguments represent the thinking of the Left.

Both are appropriate spokepersons.

You're right, she became another self-destructive member of the Hollywood babbling class. She had potential to appeal to a larger segment of society. However, whatever self-hatred that so many of these people suffer from has completely infected her, diminishing and warping her into someone who expresses herself in the most base, crude and egocentric terms.

It is now hard to differentiate CNN as the host or the parasite for so many people who hate this country.

What's to complain about? The shrew and CNN deserve each other. The casting is actually perfect. I can't think of a more appropriate person to represent the CNN point of view.
