Janine Garofalo Enjoys A Nice Cup Of Shut The Fuck Up

Blackball every other Hollywood twit. It will teach them not to open their mouths about shit they know nothing about.


Peacenik Garofalo Upset at Harassment, May Quit Protesting

Anti-war activist Janeane Garofalo announced Monday that she may quit protesting U.S. plans to make war on Iraq, saying she's being harassed and complaining that Hollywood leftists who speak out don't get enough respect.

Addressing a panel on media coverage of the war in Manhattan, the comedienne-turned-foreign policy expert said that she may "just bow out for the rest of my life," according to New York's Newsday. Garofalo complained that she's had to change her home phone number after getting several harassing calls.

The bespectacled Bush basher blames the media, which she said ridicules anti-war actors "as a way to trivialize" the concerns of those who oppose the war. [Garofalo herself, however, admitted two weeks ago that the peace movement stayed dormant during U.S. troop deployments in the 1990s because "it wasn't hip" to protest President Clinton.]

Fellow panelist William McGowan, author of "Coloring the News: How Political Correctness Has Corrupted American Journalism," disagreed. He said anti-war activists are belittled because of their "silly, vacuous slogans."
