The Tattooed Lady Cuts Bait

A dying career and a dying network

Over at the Majority Report blog the inmates are more depressed than usual to find out that the reports of Janeane Garofalo's failure to launch have indeed come to pass despite the stamping of little leftist feet. It seems that if you are a frustrated chic revolutionary who demands respect from the industry that you constantly complain about while at the same time making yourself completely unemployable, you end up being surprised that you can't seem to get your career to add up to anything important. And if you then get a job on an Angry Leftist radio network, you also end up being surprised yet again to find out that your choice of career moves is something less than stellar. And when your ratings go nowhere and the network hits the skids you find once again that you are on the wrong side of history and perhaps you should have stuck it out at college and gone into a more productive line of work where you would not have had to cover yourself in tattoos to get attention.

I like Janeane, but as she has said countless times before; she had some real problems growing up. She'll be 42 in September, half of her life gone and she is still begging for recognition by plastering tattoos all over her body. If she's wondering why her acting career is fading, there are not too many parts around for the Tattooed Lady in the circus. That's why she is always wrapped in tons of lose fitting clothes or Turtle Neck Sweaters on the screen.

There is no Grand Jury job, I have to admit that I initially fell for that one myself. After thinking about it, there's no jury greeter; what a load of crap.

Could be that new management is running her butt off. When all is said and done, AA is a business and she is simply not dependable. The new CEO sounds like he's going to pretty much clean house and Janeane may not be the only casualty. Good luck finding a job that will pay the bills in NYC, or for that matter, anywhere else today.

And of course these are the people who want to get back into power and run your lives because they think they can do it better than you can.

Oh, and by the way... I was listening to the radio on my way to work the other day. I turned on Rush and the substitute host was talking about the situation in the Middle East. I turned to Michael Medved and he was talking about the situation in the Middle East. I then turned on Al Franken and he was talking about.....The Norwegian Elections!!!

Can you say "out of touch?"
