Somewhere, Ann Coulter is really psyched:
The political left and the political right are going to meet on Fox’s “24″ this coming season. Actress-comedian Janeane Garofalo, an outspoken liberal, is set to co-star on the conservative-leaning real-time drama, whose co-creator/executive producer Joel Surnow jokingly describes himself as a “right-wing nut job.” On the Imagine TV/20th Century Fox TV series, Garofalo will play a government agent who is part of the team investigating the crisis befalling Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) and company in the upcoming season.
You just know that production is going to get contentious: “OK Janeane – point me to the part of the script that says ‘in this scene, Janeane’s character slips information to America’s terrorist enemy.’ You can’t. You know why? Because it’s not in the script. Stop improvising!”
