JANEANE GAROFALO: WHAT A JOKE
-- CNN Hastens Its Ratings Decline!




by Paul Walfield

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.

The CNN bigwigs must have delved deeply into Janeane's past accomplishments and her rhetoric and understood that most of their viewers would relate to her and feel a sense of loyalty and devotion to a kindred spirit. CNN, like all big corporations, would never hire someone to host one of their television shows without testing audience reaction to their presence. CNN must know something everyone else who can think has missed.

The folks over at CNN must have looked at all the easily available sources of information on Janeane; and naturally, they would have looked at things us ordinary folks do not have easy access to. For instance, an easily obtainable bit of information about Janeane that CNN must have looked upon approvingly -- after all, they hired her -- is this quote from Janeane and reported on by Hollywood Investigator from an interview in "Buzz Magazine": "Our country is founded on a sham: our forefathers were slave-owning rich white guys who wanted it their way. So when I see the American flag, I go, 'Oh my God, you're insulting me.' That you can have a gay parade on Christopher Street in New York, with naked men and women on a float cheering, 'We're here, we're queer!' -- that's what makes my heart swell. Not the flag, but a gay naked man or woman burning the flag. I get choked up with pride."

Of course, Janeane's distaste for all things American is probably not the only thing that endeared her to the suits over at CNN. There is also her love for all things liberal. For instance, NewsMax reported that Janeane is not necessarily against the bombing and burning of people in foreign lands. She'd just rather keep it to Democratic presidential administrations....

I recall Shana Alexander and James Kirkpatrick going at it on 60 minutes which let the SNL parody with Dan Ackroyd and Jane Curtin which led to the ultimate comeback Jane you ignorant slut. We just need to update that changing Jane to Janeane.

Such as Serbia, Sudan and Iraq.

Hey, are you still around?

As Ted used to say
A little hearsay from Pope basher Turner? Ted made money with Pat and then Crossfire was a success, Pat always won the argument.

Comparing Colmes with Pat? Pat was an advisor to 3 presidents, author of 3 best selling books, widely read syndicated columnist, wrote the Republican Party platform, won control of the Reform Party, ran twice for president, won state primaries only to be dumped on by his own party of wall to wall neocons.

Now, tell me about Colmes.

Pat is a conservative and probably one of the role models of McClintock, the next Governor of California.

Not true. McClintock is not a protectionist. Also, he's not a Jew hater.

Neither is Pat. Pat may be wrong in not leading the charge against Islamist terrorism as he did when faced with the Communism menace. He's of the opinion we should upgrade the homefront as the first priority, and squeeze the Islamists from a strong homebase. I disagree, but he may have the better point.

He may take issue with the prepensity of Jews wielding power in the House and Senate and their perceived self centered agendas. Complaining that not enough Catholics make it into Hardvard, does not a Jew hater make.

Tom Braden, an old friend of John F Kennedy during the heydey New Frontier years.

Good ol' Tom. He used to really get p*ssed.

On more than one occasion I was certain he would go into complete vapor lock right there in front of a national audience.

Kinsley could never fill Tom's shoes. A guy who can't stop smiling even when in the midst of a purple faced rage doesn't come across well on TV.

McClintock is not a protectionist

McClintock tightening up the Mexican border is protectionist and right out of Pats'playbook. No new taxes and reducing spending is also right in line with Pat, as is being anti abortion.

McClintock is the only conservative office holder in California and he's a spitting image of Pat, even looks like him a little bit.

A little dejay vu, McClintock is fighting on principles, alone, and to end just like Pat did.

Poor Patricia Heaton... She looks like the good sister and Jeanine looks like the evil sister.

?? No it isn't. Switzerland has tight borders and guest passes and they are far from protectionist. Thats quite a stretch..

Switzerland, is not part of NATO, or the EU, has no Euros, or have any defense treaties. Going in and out from France to Switzerland you get checked by border guards. I understand Switzerland has a ready dugin defense system and all households are required to be armed. How about those apples.

Just you try and become citizen of Switzerland. You just can't move in, buy a house, get a job and settle in.

Pat would be tickled pink if we more closely modeled these Switzerland atributes.

CROSSFIRE: 2-4 people talking about subjects they have no more expertise in than the average american. Half of them are lying. All are shouting. All are laughing, and they take nothing seriously. Haven't watched the show after the first 1/4 of its first season.

I laughed out loud when I learned that Franken and Garofalo, two of the Hollywood Left's biggest idiots, would be appearing on that show. The same people who think Franken and Garofalo have something important to say are probably the same people who buy into the conspiracy theories and pseudoscience being peddled by the SCI-FI channel.

My mouth actually dropped when I saw it. What the hell is going on SciFi? If it wasn't for Stargate I would not be watching it at all.
