Notes

Nobody, especially the mainstream media, they don’t want to say it. And there’s a lot of people who give me a hard time. They’ll wait after stand-up shows for me and they’ll do the old ambush and they come up to me and ask me, “Ms. Garofalo, What makes you think that the patriots of the Tea Party movement are racist?” And all that I can say to them is, if you don’t see that, I would ask you if you’ve ever seen a show called ‘I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant’. Where somehow, thousands of people make it 9 months to full term, gestating a human and their lover, and their family and their coworkers have no idea that they are actually pregnant and they themselves are on the toilet and they don’t even know until they do the old cursory look-around, just in case! Thank god the kid’s attached! Thank god the kid’s attached! I swear to you, if there was no cord, betwixt… Fatty doesn’t pay attention! That should be the title of the show! Thank god there’s a cord because then it would be another series called, ‘What the Plumber Found’. “Got a hell of a clog, miss.” “Uh-Oh! It wasn’t attached! How would I know?! How would I know?”

That’s what I would say if you don’t recognize that the Tea-Baggers and the majority of the republican party and the majority of the conservative movement is, at this point, racist and have been moving that way since the 1960’s. Then I would say to you, go home and mark the calender 9 months hence because you are in danger of having a baby in the toilet.
