What can you do against the lunatic who is more intelligent than yourself, who gives your arguments a fair hearing and then simply persists in his lunacy? -- George Orwell

Janeane Garofalo has said some really stupid things over the years, mostly in a desperate attempt to get attention. Herewith, we showcase some of those remarks.

It wasn't very hip [to protest Clinton's intervention in Bosnia]. [Dumb but honest.]

When I see the American flag, I go, "Oh my God, you're insulting me."

When Communist U.S.S.R. was a superpower, the world was better off. The right-wing media is trying to marginalize the peace movement.

Our country is founded on a sham: our forefathers were slave-owning rich white guys who wanted it their way. So when I see the American flag, I go, 'Oh my God, you're insulting me.' That you can have a gay parade on Christopher Street in New York, with naked men and women on a float cheering, 'We're here, we're queer!' -- that's what makes my heart swell. Not the flag, but a gay naked man or woman burning the flag. I get choked up with pride.
