Anyone seen Janeane Garofalo on CNN's Crossfire? (For non-North American readers, a political shout-show that she's co-hosting with Tucker Carlson this week.)
Really, her opinions are too stupid for me to dissect here, so I'll just be catty and laugh at her appearance.
What were you thinking of, girl? The mousy-brown spinster-librarian look is gone, replaced with a greasy punked up blonde hairdo and a wardrobe that looks like it was raided from a Goodwill collection box.
Whatever charm she once had was precisely in that anti-glamorous, anti-Hollywood image. She's still anti-glamorous, anti-Hollywood, but now she's broadcasting it from the seedier stretches of Sunset Boulevard.
She looks like a heroin addict. The big, gaudy tattoo on her right shoulder doesn't help matters.
For someone who was once allegedly a stand-up comic, she doesn't seem to have a lot of stage smarts. She's awful at ad-libbing. She's a terrible interviewer, stepping on applause lines and her own lines alike. She gets thoroughly flustered with direction, i.e., cue cards or camera angles or the director whispering in her earpiece.
Apart from all that, she's wonderful.
Chalk up another one for the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.
Mwhahahahah.
