No Go on Garofalo
Left Coast Report, via email | 6-9-03 | James Hirsen

Posted on 06/09/2003 2:03:54 PM PDT by Paul Atreides

On the heels of Janeane Garofalo having had an HBO project placed on hold, the comedian has just gotten some bad news from ABC.

Garofalo's pending sitcom, "Slice o' Life," has been cut. According to Daily Variety, the network let Janeane's show go because of the "direction of the series story line."

Through an unnamed source close to Garofalo, Chicago Sun-Times columnist Bill Zwecker says that Janeane believes "her politics and all the hate mail the right-wing lobby stirred up during the war is what is behind all this."

An ABC spokeswoman told the newspaper that the decision to drop the show was based on the program's merits and that Garofalo's politics never came "into the decision-making process whatsoever."

The Left Coast Report is amazed at how vast the right-wing conspiracy has become. Now it even includes Disney, the same group that is financing Michael Moore.

Poor thing! What she should do is go out and find some naked homosexuals burning the flag. It'll cheer her up.

ROFLMAO. FReepers are proving that they in fact are more seserving of a network sitom than Garofalo as they clearly are funnier and are better writers.

Janeane is certainly free to put a one-woman show together off-off-Broadway or whatever and have her fans pay money to see her: whatta country America!

Well Janeane, looks like you just found out there are responsibilities that come with that first amendment right you keep throwing around. You have the right to say anything you want, as long as you're willing to pay the price.

The Democrat's base, the "Anti-War" crowd, the "Nancy Pelosi Liberals", they are the freaks and degenerates of the Earth. They look like the cast of the Lord of the Rings, the aliens in the Cantina Bar in Star Wars, the ihabitants of Jabba's Palace in Return of the Jedi. That's the Democrat Party faithful. Twisted, gibbering, deformed, hulking, stunted, slithering, freaks...the entire Democratic Party...

your comment about Clinton's cabinet looking like a circus side show was great! one of the funniest things I've read in a long time (because it's so true).

Janeane Barfalo bashing Dubya/conservatives -- OK free speech.

Conservatives bashing Barfalo's comments -- bad free speech.
