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.

Has anyone ever seen her and Ed Asner in the same place at the same time? It's amazing what a little makeup can do.

Baloney. These celebrity half-wits want it both ways. They want to use their celebrity status as a vehicle to push their opinions, which is okay, but then they squak when the consumers of their acts decide to use their entertainment money elsewhere.

Wow! Aren't we a feisty bunch this morning? LOL. Cake_crumb is right. Perhaps I should've highlighted "on her knees" so my poor attempt at a bit of humor would've been interpreted properly.

For those of you who wanted to engage in honest discourse because you interpreted my post as a "straight-forward" answer, I apologize. For those of you who come to FR simply so you can attack others and try to overcome your teenie-weenie complex . . .

Again, I apologize to all who were misled. Perhaps I'd best leave the humor to those of you who are really funny.

[geedee]

Sorry, I misled you. See my #91.

Doh!

It's Garofalo's attitude that gets me. No matter what she is discussing, (when she is not acting) she is condescending in manner and attitude. Only she knows anything. Only she knows the truth. The intellectual put down with a non-stop mouth is more than I can take.

Look at the difference between her and Baghdad Bob. I'll take him anytime! He is the true commedian! Garofalo only plays one on TV.

Liberals are not honorable. This should not be a surprise. They are hateful little children who need STRONG discipline as well as having their mouths washed out with soap. And NO doing this does not injure anyone.

That's the one inspired by Al Gore, right?

Honestly, how can anyone not be inspired by these two...

That's amore!
