Janeane Garofalo: 'I Have Nothing to Apologize For'

It looks like outspoken Iraq war critic Janeane Garofalo won't be honoring her pledge to apologize to President Bush anytime soon.

"I have nothing to apologize for," she told WABC Radio's Steve Malzberg, who requested an interview with the comedienne-turned-peacenik for his Sunday morning broadcast.

Malzberg tells NewsMax that instead of agreeing to the interview request, Garofalo boasted that her upcoming TV show on ABC is going forward despite a tidal wave of complaints received by the network.

"Boycotters are welcome to keep giving me tons of publicity," she dared before reiterating, "There will be no apologies."

Just five weeks ago, when Garofalo appeared on Fox News Channel's "The Pulse," host Bill O'Reilly asked what she would do if her predictions that the war would be a disaster turned out to be wrong. The contrite-sounding comic promised:

"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 were right, I shouldn't have doubted you."

Listen to WABC Radio's Steve Malzberg, Sundays, 9 a.m. to 12 noon ET, weeknights, 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. ET. To have Malzberg's exclusive NewsMax column emailed directly to you, go to www.newsmax.com/malzberg.

Don't forget Sean Penn. He supposedly was dropped from what would have been the highest paying movie of his career.
There was a verbal agreement but no contract - I believe it was supposed to have been for $8 million.

But like someone said on Hannity's radio show - he and George Clooney don't have to worry; they can go to Iraq and do an Arab version of "Dumb and Dumber".

Anybody think that you're making a martyr out of this putrid little nothing? Wouldn't it have been better to let her show air two or three times and die of its own dreadfulness? Now she will join the Pantheon of Leftist Mediocrities that stick around simply because they paid a price of some kind. I'm afraid that by your concerted efforts you are giving this tart a certain immortality she certainly doesn't deserve.

[Natural Law]

Just another example of the incredib,e intellectual dishonesty on the left. Is anyone surprised?

[MizSterious]

LOL--and maybe they can take Garafolo along and call it "Dumb, Dumber, and Dumbest!"

Mike Savage, gave her an idiot award last night on his MS-NBC show.

Janeane Garofalo: 'I Have Nothing to Apologize For'

Someone who was incapable of seeing she was wrong initially would also be incapable of seeing why she needs to apologize.

[Treebeard]

Or, "when a big eel-a swims by and he bites offa you thigh, that's a moray..."

[LaraCroft]

sorry!

Isn't it profoundly sad that there are so many boneheaded people in the world that think that way thay you could have even been taken seriously?

I was just listening to the radio and some lunkheaded DJ was going on about how it was unconstitutional to boycott people who speak out and your don't agree with. Why would someone that stupid get their own show?

[geedee]

Apology accepted, but unnecessary. LOL! I'm not a talented humorist and I'd best leave it to those who are.

Besides, I recognize your name and you're a "regular" FReeper who uses FR to learn and try to spread the conservative message. The only ones who misinterpreted my poorly-delivered joke that bothered me are what I call "snipers." They lurk and look over our shoulders and only join in when they think they see a feeding frenzy taking place. They don't care about right and wrong and spreading a conservative message. They only want to pick off helpless, easily-intimidated prey because the internet gives them a certain amount of anonymity.

Evidently I'm not a good funny-man but I'm not helpless. Nor easily intimidated. And I wanted the snipers to know it up front.

But you, LaraCroft, have earned the right to criticize and I apologize for not being clearer. Have a good weekend.

Hollywood idiot on career life support BUMP.

The more these anti- americans spew their hate for America, the more corw they eat. They can blame us freepers, they can blame their hometown, they can blame the radio stations. But the real blame is on them and their stupid opinions that make zero credibility with any people with a brain.

Chicks, history, Susan and her lovers are history. They want to make this a socialistic country, they want one world gov't. It will not happen as long as the majority of us stand up for what is right.

God Bless you young Freepers who are raising little freepers.

Being a liberal means never having to say you're sorry.

To Whom It may Concern:
Hey, your Garafolo got out again! Seriously, I am very happy to see that she now openly speaks for all of her PATRIOTIC sponsors and her SUPPORTING network associates. We are really looking forward to contacting all of them for you once her new show gets going; after all, I wouldn’t want to not tell them why I refuse to buy their products anymore. There is not enough broken glass in the world for her to crawl over at this point…

THE “Feel Like I’m Fixin To Boycott ABC” Rag

Oh come on all you ABC men
Janeane Garofalo opened her mouth again
Got herself in a terrible jam
Thinkin’ we were all back in Vietnam
Just hope an’ pray that her new sit-com
Won’t become our latest bomb

(chorus)
And its one two three
What are we fightin’ for?
To tell the sponsors they will lose our bucks
When they support them Hollywood shmucks
And its five six seven
For all that Hollywood hates
They can hope and try, but we ain’t gonna die
Their BS will no longer fly
(with apologies to Country Joe and the Fish)

Hey Janeane -

Give me an S – S (Shut
Give me a T – T (The
Give me an F – F (***
Give me a U – U (UP!)

What’s that spell? – another little idiot entertainer who loves to open her mouth for the wrong reasons. Say what you will, honey, but you are nothing but a court jester – always have been, always will. So, while you’re busing tables at the Waffle House on the outskirts of Vegas, just remember – YOU SHOULD HAVE LEFT THE FIGHTING TO THE REAL AMERICANS.

Protect the First Amendment – boycott Hollywood’s leftwing bigots, Communists, and anarchists!

I was going to post this if you hadn't!
Bump!

Looks like the God Ms. Garofoolo boasts about not needing has granted her wish; she has been crowned Queen of the Buffoons. She actually believes people are laughing WITH her; that's the funniest thing of all.
