Jeneane Garafalo needs to be reminded of her commitment made on March 6, e.g., to crawl over glass and apologize to GWB and (shiver) Thomas Friedman over her rants about Iraq.

You can go to http://www.gershcomedy.com, click "Contact Gersh" on the left, and remind them of their client's promise.

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?

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"…

I hereby solemnly pledge: one bottle of iodine, one package of band aid bandages, and a forgiving attitude - IF Jeanine actually crawls to the WH to apologize. I figure she is going to need her knees healed and scar-free when she opens her shower/bedroom web-cam. That is about all the talent she has!

And no, I wont subscribe to her service.

"Wolf Blitzer reporting with a message to Jeneane Garafalo. Dear, you won't have to go to the White House to apologize. Here we have a live feed of Iraqis stripped naked by evil American Marines so George W. Bush could see their boobies on TV!"

[Brytani]

The perfect Freep - we should all send her boxes filled with broken glass to help her on her way.

My message to Janeane's agent..... Just wanted to remind you of Janeane's promise. 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"… I'm sure Janeane's a good American who's grateful that those Iraqi children won't have to live in fear of torture for the rest of their lives. You might direct her to the news reports showing Iraqi citzens kissing portraits of George Bush. She can find these on CNN, FOX NEWS, BBC, CNBC, MSNBC, or any other channel. Thanks so much, Tim Prince

She's a wanker.

[Gritty]

I have heard of "broken-glass Republicans".

No doubt, this is what passes for a "broken-glass Democrat"!

[ChemistCat]

I don't believe she was ever on Northern Exposure. I could be wrong--but I'm not uncertain.

A fairly authoritative site:

She's not on that list anywhere that I can find.

"miss garafolo dont worry we know this wasnt in your name."

Nailed it. I'd love to see a reprint of the NION campaign in the newspapers with all of the anti-liberation activists listed by name. But now it needs photos of the jubilant Iraqis and a huge headline over it reading something to the effect of "Freedom comes to Iraq...but Not in Our Name". Everyone needs to see that list again to remember exactly who wanted to promote the Iraqi's continued torture and oppression.

The truth is I've never seen this woman on any shows before. When my husband told me she was an actress, all I could say is "In what shows?" He couldn't tell me either.

[HighWheeler]

Whew! That is fugly.

Keep going beyotch, on yer knees and crawl over the glass all the way to the White House.

[MonroeDNA]

Done!

I, on the other hand, was a bit more over-the-top in my message to Garofalo's agents:

"On March 6, 2003, your client, Janeane Garofalo, claimed on The O'Reilly Factor that the Iraqi people did not want to be liberated, and had the following exchange with Bill O'Reilly:

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?

GAROFALO: 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"…

Well, guess what? Iraqi citizens are celebrating their liberation by the U.S. military, and are literally hugging soldiers and waving U.S. flags. So, my question is, when will Ms. Garofalo walk to the White House on her knees on cut glass to apologize to our President? And what route will she take? Will it be televised? Do you need donations of cut glass, or will she bring her own? I believe that if Ms. Garofalo lives up to her word, it would be a necessary first step for her redemption. Otherwise, I and millions of other Americans will continue to boycott her movies and television performances."

That should get their attention.

[ChemistCat]

My letter is sent. Subject: BROKEN GLASS.

It's time. She said she would. Do words mean anything or is she another "It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is?" Or in this case, the meanings of the words, "wrong," "crawl," "broken glass," "White House," "apologize," and "buffoon..."

Lots of us out here who believed Saddam Hussein had to go and that our President could get rid of him were still surprised at how WELL President Bush did the job. Now we're waiting to see if a liberal can keep her word, or if they are really all liars after all.

She was on Seinfeld once.

I will go to the White House on my knees on cut glass

Is she allowed to use her White House kneepads?

[Slip18]

I used to watch Seinfeld, but I can't remember her face. So she was an actress once? Why has she gotten all of this attention?

[FreeperinRATcage]

Actually, if she, or any other loudmouth did this, I'd base my decision to view or hear their product again on the quality of the product, and not on whether or not even thinking of said entertainer would cause me to violently hurl!

[The Other Harry]

Kissing American Marines!!

That looks to me like wallpaper. ;)

[Geezerette]

Three Cheers for the Brits, too! Tho they may not have been part of the historical events in Bagdad today!

I hope nobody is holding their breath!!
