1. Wow that's an ugly dress - and those tatoos? yikes. Love her

and love what she says - but she needs a stylist big time.

[slowry]

4. umm

There's nothing hotter than someone who is real. Her appearance and demeanor is so genuine. A stylist? Heh. Nah.

[Voice for Peace]

38. THIS GIRL HAS A BEAUTIFUL MIND

BRAVE, ARTICULATE

[Rhythm]

59. She looks like an old ex-girlfriend of mine...

the "good ex", who i still love to talk to.

You go, gal...

[BeliQueen]

20. I'm not sure what you're talking about.

So you're saying that you have to be "styled" in order to bring the truth with the funny?

Who is she supposed to be like? Ann Coulter?

She looks fine to me. I liked the outfit.

[MADem]

32. Wow. What an assault on an opinion!!

LPYB expressed her opinion, is all. She didn't lay down an edict or insist upon anything. She also said she liked the woman's message.

Your mileage varies.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

51. Love you. Meant it.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

50. Ah Yay Ah Yay. Gimme a break ! You can agree with someone

most all the time and still think they look like shit. Funny thing about impressions -
the general public just might discount what she is saying because her arms are all
tatooed. That's life.

[mzmolly]

30. Love the dress and the tatoos

just for the record. ;)

[MADem]

31. I concur. But then, I'm old fashioned and don't keep up with trends.

Apparently looking like an unmade, unwashed, uncombed scribbled-upon bed IS the fashion nowadays. When I was young, the parents were appalled at the way we looked too. The more things change, the more they remain the same, I guess!

I too, like what she said. So we're on the same page there as well...

[OzarkDem]

45. Agree, she has a great mind

but her appearance is a distraction from her message.

[Sam Ervin jret]

46. at least no one asked her to "lean over" WHAT THE F&*K are you Saying?

Can't a woman talk about some important issues without a "dressing" down from some quarter.

When are you PEOPLE going to GET IT.

I MIGHT ADD any "DIS" to the Democratic party that did not make it into this "cut" is an insult to any "free speech" protesters on this site. If we dish it out we ought to be able to take it. We have ourselves, been "unkind" to some of our fellow dem. in the past. We should not sensor side remarks we may find offensive in otherwise articulate informative "clips."

I think we can handle the heat.

[Honeycombe8]

48. I noticed that when I saw the show. She's looking weirder and weirder as the years go by.

Has nothing to do with what she says, her views, etc. She's an outspoken activist who has the guts to say things. Just a comment that she's looking pretty weird. Which I imagine is the look she's after. Which makes me wonder why. Sometimes people try to look different from others in order to get attention.

She's a good actress, though. Glad her hair is back to dark (she had been bleached blonde until recently).

[lakeguy]

56. she's HOT. smokin hot...nt

[aaronbees]

60. Oh yes...

I agree. And she's smart as a whip too - got out lots of information in that nine-minute clip. Rushdie made a great point about talking about talking about the war, which only distracts from the real issues.

[lligrd]

2. I Love Janeane

She isn't afraid to tell it like it is. (It took me a while to get past that outfit though. lol)

[Bennyboy]

3. I love her....

I wish our "leaders" would speak out like that. And that is one ugly dress.

[PDJane]

5. Well, but ..........

one has to give her major kudos for having something interesting enough to say to be able to be her own person, stylist or no.

I like the woman, odd clothes, tattoos and all.

[oasis]

6. A most informative 9:34 min. Bill Maher put together an excellent panel this time.

[K8-EEE]

18. Great show but I have to admit

I kind of miss it when they don't have a jerky conservative on there to bat around...they always seem so shocked with the format, that they actually have to defend the stuff they say and people follow up and call them on their BS!

They're all so used to Faux, LOL...of course he can't get many of them to go on there. They only go for the sound-bite "on one hand, on the other hand" BS where each side gets 30 seconds and then on to something else.

[Bitwit1234]

7. Did you hear her when she talked about the bush twins

I heard her say something about the police always coming to their apartment. She said she lived on the same street. But I did not catch anything other than that, because I had just came back into the living room. My son told me she said....that every time the twins had a party the police were called and they were all over the street.

[OKDem08]

8. Thanks for posting!

This chick rocks, she kicks *** & takes names!
Who gives a **** what she looks like. The only thing that matters is substance, not appearance.

[Semper_FiFi]

34. I couldn't agree with you more, OKDem08!

NO ONE should be giving a flying fig about her attire (unless you want to say something nice about it). Criticizing her because of her attire is completely sexist and something I would expect to find on a less enlightened political site. No one does this to men---why subject women to harsher scrutiny?

[sanguinivorous]

9. I agree with the other posters who said...

...that her dress was butt ugly. I agree, it was absolutely hideous.

So hideous that I'd like to volunteer to personally visit Janeane and help her take it off. :D

[Voice for Peace]

40. LOL sweet nt

[colorado_ufo]

10. Janeane, the 60s called - they want their dress back.

But I dearly love her, her courage and her honesty - tats and all!

[defendandprotect]

11. Garofalo is good . . .. she spoke more forcefully here, without much of the stammering she ....

usually is plagued with which slows down her delivery and makes it hard to listen to.

But she always has something real to say, with genuine concern.

She's smart -- I'm not sure if she's still connected with Air America or what she's doing currently?????

Dress was great -- tatoos real? Big ugly there!!!

[Triana]

12. OH GET OVER THE DRESS and the TATS ALREADY...

..and give Jeanine some LOVE. THE DRESS is NOT what's important. What the hell is this, high-school? STOP condemning the dress! You're beginning to sound like THE SENATE! HOW ABOUT JOINING JEANINE IN CONDEMNING THE IMPORTANT STUFF instead? BE the change....sheesh. Unbelievable.

[King Coal]

24. Tatoos are naughty. She should not naughty.

[rainy]

25. She looks very uncomfortable in her own skin and clothes. She keeps

folding her arms around herself. Image is everything. She looks very uncomfortable. Honestly, in the way you wouldn't wear shorts to formal I think she could have made a better attire choice.

[Triana]

27. She's probably cold - the dress is sleeveless and those studios are air-conditioned

like meat-lockers. That's no reason to get distracted off the message of what she was saying.

[Sam Ervin jret]

47. If image is everything then what is SUBSTANCE?

I have lost, regained, lost and etc... so many times about this subject. This is the attitude that givess us GWB and Fred Thompsom and the rest of the "know nothing" but they sure do have a great "image" and look good on "TV" leaders we have now and will have until we all learn to GET OVER IT!!!!!

[rainy]

49. The fact that it is hard to determine if she is wearing a bikini top with more

tattoos all over her body makes it hard to take her seriously. I do take her seriously because I know of her and have followed her for awhile. However it is like brittany wearing a short dress that doesn't cover her ass. I think Janene could have chosen a better look for prime time tv.

[hfojvt]

28. "This dress

exacerbates the very genetic betrayal that is my legacy."

That is one of Janeane's lines in "Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion". One thing is, that I, and probably many others have seen her in other situations where she looked really good - the picture the Nation uses in their ads, for example, or when she played Jerry's girlfriend-who-was-just-like-him, on Seinfeld. But here, ewww. The hair, the glasses, the tats, the dress. She's supposed to be smart, and she sounds smart and informed, but she has clearly done something stupid to her arms - had them 'decorated' with something that looks, from a distance, like a splotch of dirt that also makes her skin look paler by comparison. The aesthetics distract from the message, especially when, unlike radio, it is a forum where you can be seen.

[Eric J in MN]

13. I liked Salman Rushdie's comment that "contractors" makes it sound

...liket they're there to fix your roof. They should be called "mercenaries."

[NoGodsNoMasters]

14. Fat?! Hardly...

Janine was brilliant... and, incidentally, i thought she was cute... Of course I do have a major crush on her.

[Eric J in MN]

16. Was that meant to be under a different post?

I didn't say anything about "fat."

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

21. I think the poster meant her own reference to her "fat ass".

I liked how she looked, BTW. She appeared more genuine than any primped, made up, helmet haired, tailored and tucked female, especially those of the RW persuasion.

MKJ

[la la]

15. hey, that dress is cute!

If you go to 'Craftster', you'll see handcrafted dresses like that all the time! It's you guys who need stylists!

( just kidding, just kidding -----it is a cute dress, though- in my opinion!)

I actually think she was chilly- probably too much cold air in that studio for her!

whatever---she was great!

[K8-EEE]

17. I've been to that taping and it's FREEZING!

I always bring a sweater and end up pulling the sleeves over my hands....I'm sure up in the hot lights it's not as cold as where the audience sits but still. I'll bet she would have killed for a sweater!

[rainy]

29. Actually the dress looks like a bikini top with more tatoos on her stomach

and body. I had to look and look to see if she was covering her midriff. Thus her appearance was a distraction.

[minnesota_liberal]

43. Ick!

Yeah, yeah - if I don't like it, I can kiss Janeane's fat ass. Everyone else gets that invitation, so why not me? ;-)

[Norrin Radd]

19. O'Reilly can kiss my fat ass --

When she says that, it's the only time I could ever wish I could take O'Reilly's place.

[Imagevision]

22. Garofalo leads the list of who's who for being right on target with comments...

[bdamomma]

23. I love garofalo, she was great when she used to be on with Sam

she is still great, and she speaks her mind!!

[riverdale]

26. That video is choppy and skips ... try this one, breaks up the whole show into six parts

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0UOFwYBEks

[riqster]

33. She is hot because

...of herself, not her wardrobe. JG is a real, smart, brave, and witty person in a world of plastic dolls, and I have always considered her one of the sexiest actresses around.

[minnesota_liberal]

55. Watch for her on '24' later this year n/t

[ProudDad]

35. My DOG -- Have you idiots read yourself???

This thread reflects exactly the bullshit she was talking about!!!

A large percentage of posts on this stupid thread don't even touch upon the absolutely right-on comments of Janeane Garofalo but rather seem to take issue with her FUCKING CLOTHES...

EVEN THIS ONE!!!!

Why should I have to waste my valuable time pointing out the inanity of you folks who bought into the M$M view of the world...


My bad, I guess...

[riqster]

58. Point taken, but...

there is nothing wrong with a beatiful woman being lauded for her beauty AND her brains.

My favorite thing she said was 'the mission was accomplished'. So true.

my second favorite bit was Salman Rushdie, "talking about talking about the war".

Those, if you like, were very perceptive statements. And hey, Rushdie looks pretty distinguished for a guy who was in hiding for years. Maher still looks like the wiseass at your high school reunion who acts the same way he did in school.

The worst thing is this...damn near nobody talks about Maher's outfit. JG's is fair game, and that really DOES suck.

[Vilis Veritas]

36. She was brilliant!

She burped! I f'ing loved it and so did the panel...She is a real person who can articulate the truth. We need more or her.

No Fear.

[ProudDad]

37. I liked this

Cover of MacLean's;




I've printed it out for my car window...

[Yavin4]

39. God, I Miss Her On Air America

Her appearance on RTwBM made me swoon. :cry:

[riona]

41. She has my respect

She tried and tried to get the true information out before we went into Iraq. If she was able to obtain the facts from experts, why do we keep hearing from some Dems "if we had known then what we know now...." ?

[cynthia]

53. My sentiment exactly

I remember listening to her way back when and thinking, how could those in power not know what we know, thanks to smart people in the media like Janeane

[LiberalLovinLug]

42. Janeane you rock

That cover on Mcleans magazine takes all the spotlight. The actual article inside is brilliant. Check it out:

http://www.macleans.ca/article.jsp?content=20070920_100442_7900&source=srch&page=1

And I absolutely LOVE Janeane Garofalo. I don't care what she wears. Although I can understand some of the posters here, mostly of the female persuasion, that are brought up with judging the girlfriends clothes first off. Maybe its hard to break that habit. Us guys for the most part look elsewhere first ;)

I like the colorful tats, and even though she'd probably stick her finger in her mouth if she heard this but...she is cute as a button.
Besides that I find her incredibly sexy just for being real and speaking her mind, compared to the glossed and quaffed plastic barbie doll empty talking heads in the MSM.

[PDittie]

44. Anybody that wants to kiss that fabulous ass ...

... is going to have to get in line behind me.

[ProudDad]

52. Watch the WHOLE Show

It was a very good one!

[populistdriven]

54. she is sexy !!!!

:loveya:

[LaStrega]

57. She's also genius on ...

"The Disquisition" a'la The Henry Rollins Show (on IFC).

(p.s. Henry's pretty fab himself)

I've looooong been a huge fan of Jeneane's. I bought tickets to see her standup show for my daughter's birthday (September 22) in '01 ... which had to be rescheduled for the following January, for obvious reasons.

Jeneane, you go girl. And for the record, I've got tats and am kind of a weirdo. I think she's flippin' sexy.

[NoGodsNoMasters]

61. Damn straight.

"Flippin'" sexy, INDEED!!! =)

[RainDog]

62. um, mom and dad...

:hi:

...she's rock and roll. she's alternative. she's a hipster.

that's what the look is about.

remember a looong time ago, in the foggy mists of time, when this woman named Janis wore feather boas and sang the shit out of a song? you know, if she had only cut her hair into a cut little pageboy like the girls wore in those gidget movies, worn a nice a-line skirt, more people would have paid attention to her music. Like Pat Boone. He was able to sing Tutti Frutti in patent leather shoes! Little Richard just looked too... weird.

and that Janis person just detracted from her message. oh wait, her audience got what she was about -- and part of what she was about was rejecting the status quo.

maybe that's what JG is projecting here too.

...just saying... ;)
