Janeane Garofalo was not a big fan of anti-tax tea parties. Janeane Garofalo is saying that the reason for the April 15th anti-tax tea parties was racial hatred.

It’s not ... Read Full Story

I admit it, one of my favorite movies is Wet Hot American Summer, and I actually thought Janeane was funny in it. Other than that...where is her career? She is some sort of computer geek on the 24 series right now and occasionally shows up on Countdown with thespian Olbermann to denounce republicans and radio personalities, whoop-de-doo.
