GAROFALO on MSNBC Tonight! Palast NOT!


Gang,

So i tune into MSNBC, which is normally NOT my practice, because I saw on BartCop that Greg Palast was gonna be on Tweety (Chris Matthews). I hate Matthews, but it's chance to see Palast on an actual MAINSTREAM TV show. It was bad enough that The Screamer wasn't appearing, that in his stead it was disgraced plagiarist Mike Barnicle, who was fired from the Boston Globe after years of made up and stolen bylines. (so, what does it take to get your own show on MSNBC?) So, they've had a racist, misogynist, homophobe (Savage), an adulterous, murdering former Congressman (Scarborough), and now a right-wing plagiarist. I guess they're trying to be more like FOX.

Anyway, on the break, the scot-free murderer Scarborough comes on and announces something along the lines of, "It's Janeane Garofalo Day in San Francisco! We'll be featuring this Hollywood actress who can't get enough of bashing the President? Why would anyone wanna have a day celebrating someone who hates the Commander-in-Chief?" Something like that.

So, I don't know if Janeane (member of my daily email blog) is actually gonna be ON the show, or if they're just doing a smear...uh, "feature" on her, but since it is JANEANE, it'll be worth tuning in! I didn't know about his ahead of time, but I've sent out an email to her asking if she's gonna be on, or what the deal is. Wouldn't it be great if she were actually interviewed by Scarborough, and brought up his dead aide Lori Klausutis? Or if they just showed tape of her in S.F., wouldn't it be great if she wore a Klausutis T-shirt?

MSNBC at 7 pacific, 10 eastern.

Tune in and see!

(so far it's a half hour into Hardball, and NO SIGN of Palast. Maybe he got bumped to make way for that issue of dire national importance, the Kobe Bryant rape story, so I've had to endure Barnicle, once again, and now some typical fat, well-fed, white, right-wing screech monkey is literally screeching about the "liberal media" and how they're out to 'get' Bush, and is lying through his teeth about how URANIUM is Niger's MAIN EXPORT! Jesus! His name is "Terry" something. Anyone know who this guy is? He's not only a fucking liar, but his VOICE Is actually HIGHER and more WOMANLY than Neil Sedaka's!)


"breaking up is hhhhhaaaaaaard toooooo DO!"

1. Saw Palast on O'Reilly as I was going by
There was a sub for O'Reilly tonight. Palast did a good job blasting the lies for war. Talked about the Bush Family-Saudi connections too.

2. Palast was just on O'Reilly
Changed appearance from MSNBC to Fox. No explaination and no link.



Due to circumstances beyond our control Greg's scheduled TV appearance today is switching from MSNBC's Hardball to 'The O'Reilly Factor' on Fox News. The O'Reilly Factor airs on Fox News at 8.00 and 11.00pm EST.
