Comedian takes on the media, government, teen pop stars
"The news disrespects us," Garofalo said. "How is the world supposed to make decisions, especially about Iraq, when we don't get relevant information? The information we get includes words like 'evil-doers' -- is this a fucking bed-time story?"
She spoke out against the pending war with Iraq but encouraged students to form their own opinions.
"We might as well live in a gated community if we choose to invade Iraq," she said. "The pro-American status might just come to bite us in the ass. I'm not saying that I hate America. I'm saying that I hate the arbitrary imperialism of a country who wants to make all the rules."
Garofalo also pointed out the "stupidity" of the American public.
"People say the American people aren't stupid. ... America is like the drunken frat guy of nations," she said as NU students burst into giggles.
