"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.

Ya mean a liberal lied? I'm SHOCKED!

You're just shocked??!
You insensitive neanderthal!

I'm shocked and saddened...
Plus I feel your pain.

Makes me tons better than you.

Seems she's worried about cutting her knees.

She lost her knee pads??
Willie will be soooo saddened!

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

[nutmeg]

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.

Tell them that they will lose any advertisers who support the Garofalo show.

FREEPED.

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!!

[conservativecorner]

I can't wait for O'Reilly to rip into this story. She is a large steaming POS!!

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!

[fivetoes]

Maybe she should hide in whats his names's luggage as he leaves the country if Bush got elected. This is all getting so surreal.

Makes me tons better than you.

You must be very proud. Now, when ya get through patting youself on the back, maybe we can move forward & rid the world (at least the USA) of American hating liberals?

Hey!
Get with the program dude!

I was pretending to be loser brainless moron liberal since all the real ones are hiding.
Didn't I do a good job?

[hope]

Does'nt she have a pair of kneepads left over from the last administration?

[bert]

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.

[cake_crumb]

"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.

[tutstar]

[Puppage]

I know ya were. Maybe I shoulda stuck a sarcasm tab in there?

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.
