Janeane Garofalo: 'I Have Nothing to Apologize For'
NewsMax.com ^ | 4/13/03 | Carl Limbacher and NewsMax.com Staff

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.

"I can't believe anyone finds her talented. I never found her funny"

I'm kinda embarrassed to admit this, especially since I love stand-up comic routines....but until her fist idiotic, hypocritical statement that it 'wasn't hip' to protest Clinton, I had never heard of her, never saw her perform and was surprised to learn in that same article that she was a comedienne.

My interest in her act before she started flapping her lips: none. My interest in her act now that she does it on a daily basis: negative numbers. **SHRUG**...she's fun to make fun of though...like Kitty Ritter, Blixie Boy, that Blixie Chick and the rest.

Ms Garafalo,

It's not that you have nothing to apologize for. It's that you have nothing period. No wit, no manners, no class, no brains.

Nothing

ping!

Garafalo before the war:

BILL 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?

JANEANE 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"…

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent ping list.

The most basic right we have as Americans is the right to earn a living in our chosen professions.

Really?
And at which prestigious institute of higher learning did you learn that astounding constitutional secret?

I always wanted to be a airline pilot; no wait brain surgeon; no... hot damn!
Wooooo hoooooo!!

Oh, REALLY? Which amendment is that in? Well, never mind... I choose to be a professional basketball player. It's my most basic right. If I am not picked for a team soon, I may sue them for violating my Constitutional right to be given other people's money for whatever I want. Do we have a Constitutional right to set our own salary, too? Oh, I bet we do!! Oh, Goody!

Her apology is not to America because she is free to say what ever she pleases.

Her apology is due to ABC and perhaps others for being stupid enough to think there were no penalties, economic or otherwise, for irresponsible utterances.

"Where, exactly is that right listed in the constitution?"

Um....I hate to speak for someone else, but I BELIEVE that was meant as humor.

ONE of the most basic rights, maybe (this is probably the "pursuit of happiness" in the Declaration of Independence). But I would think life, liberty, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, among others, might be a little more basic that the right to earn a living.
