Everybody Lay off Janeane!
Big Hollywood ^ | April 20, 2009 | Tom Shillue

Posted on 04/21/2009 3:13:56 AM PDT by rightwingintelligentsia

I like her. And yes, she is funny. If you’ve only seen her on political talk shows, you’re going to have to take my word for it.

I did a show with her in NYC the other night, and she was delightful. A small room in the West Village, packed with people, everyone laughing. She’s a comedian, and a good one. I prefer her more personal material to the political stuff, but that’s the way I feel about most comedians. After the show we spoke, and at one point I reminded her that I’m kind of right-wing. “That’s you’re problem,” she said, and then we got back to the friendly talk. We went on to have a great conversation and share some laughs. On a personal level, I always have a good time with her, and you would too. Believe me.

Here’s my point: I sense a little misplaced anger over her comments about the tea parties. It strikes me as a Captain Renault-like expression of shock. In order to take great offense at what she said we have to ignore the fact that the very same thing is said, in more subtle ways, every day. The left never stops accusing the right of racism.

So she’s free to do her rants about conservatives but she should get no backlash? How can this guy be so damn dumb?

I haven’t been in the news for fifteen years. I know, I’ll bad-mouth conservatives! Now I’m a media darling again! Where can I cash the check?

At the end of WW II the French Resistance shaved the heads of female Nazi sympathizers who were known to have collaborated or "otherwise cooporated" with the Nazi troops.

This one's made the list.

The problem is she can't hold her putrid remarks as a whole. You have tried to pigeon hole her remarks. They are not only about the tea parties.

And just because she makes people laugh does not discount her evil words and actions.

If she is free to use her access to the media to bash my Country and Americans then I am free to slam back on her.

Maybe they could slap each other with their purses. I wouldn’t pay to see it, but I’d read the reviews of the ‘fight’.

“I did a show with her in NYC the other night, and she was delightful. A small room in the West Village....”

Perhaps the stench emanating from the greasy hosebag overwhelmed his thinking process, causing him to produce this vapid scribbling.

After the show we spoke,

Wow Tom! Did she let you hold her hand and everything?

Or are you just worried that since you do shows with her that you will be caught up in the back lash.

No, I do not give you any points for being "open-minded" unless I wish to mention that your brains have obviously fallen out. The claim, "Well other people do it so we shouldn't expect anything better from this dimwit" is insulting to HER. If you actually respected her you would think that she is adult enough to know what she said and defend it. Obviously, you do not.

So Tom may I suggest politely that you go climb back into whatever little hole you crawled out of and suck your thumb and cry? Because the chances of the rest of us actually doing what you say is somewhere between nil and zilch.

“That’s you’re problem,” she said

...right after proper grammar.

Good morning to ya...and a great post.

I am guessing that this Tom Shillue thinks Janeane is funny because, like her, he is humor challenged...but his PC friends don’t want to offend him so he keeps playing tiny, tiny venues.

Either that, or Janeane threatened to beat him up if he didn’t write something nice about her.
