Garofalo Awards Announced at
White House Press Dinner

Comedienne-turned-anti-war activist Janeane
Garofalo will be among those honored at a
ceremony sponsored by the Washington, D.C.,
chapter of FreeRepublic.com outside
tonight's annual White House Correspondents
Association Dinner.

The first annual "Garofalo Awards" ceremony
will spotlight celebrities who distinguished
themselves in recent months with "histrionic
predictions of gloom and doom before and/or
during Operation Iraqi Freedom [and who]
stand head and shoulders above all others
for their shrillness, certainty and
apocalyptic ravings," a FreeRepublic
spokesman told NewsMax.

The award itself - a stuffed ready-to-eat
crow on a silver platter - will be given to
the top 10 celebrity activists, politicians,
pundits and reporters based on votes of
FreeRepublic members.

Winners include Garofalo herself, who was
the top vote getter based on her bizarre
pre-war observation, "We are doomed if we go
into this war into the heart of the Arabian
world with a U.S.-led effort against world
opinion. We are doomed if we do this."

CNN news executive Eason Jordan followed in
second place, for his recent confession in a
New York Times op-ed piece that he and his
network covered up first-hand accounts of
Saddam Hussein's torture and execution of
innocent civilians.

Other Garafalo Awards winners include:

Fired NBC and National Geographic
reporter Peter Arnett

Former U.N. weapons inspector Scott
Ritter

Actor Tim Robbins

Columnist Helen Thomas

Former President Bill Clinton

Clinton is being honored with a Garofalo for
his for remarks to a New York business group
last week where he accused the U.S. of
trying to bully the world.

"Our paradigm now seems to be: something
terrible happened to us on September 11, and
that gives us the right to interpret all
future events in a way that everyone else in
the world must agree with us," Clinton told
the Conference Board. "And if they don't,
they can go straight to hell."

Each Garofalo Award recipient will also
receive a bottle of red wine vinegar to help
wash down the crow dinner.

Right on! BURN THE WITCH! BURN THE WITCH!. Who does she think she is using her right to free speach to dare disagree with Dubya? Where does she think she is, America?

I think she's pretty darn cute, myself. As Howard Stern would say... "I'd bang her"

Actually BGBMAW, I'm pretty certain number 3 and 4 are not true about Arfann (a.k.a. Gronk). The first two I'm not as sure about, but I'll give my squadie there the benefit of the doubt. Having said that, I think Gronk's tongue-in-cheek comment is off the mark. She exercised her right to state her opinions, hair-brained though they were. Now that the lack of substance behind all her claims (such as how 500,000 Iraqi's would die and the Arab world would rise up in world-wide jihad...her words on Fox interview) is so crystal clear, other are exercising their right to rub her nose in it. Seems fair, as I'm quite certain she'd have done the same if she'd been right. Come on, Gronk, admit it...she's an airhead.
