Failed Radio Host to Join "24"

I've never watched "24", though it is a favorite of many people I know, and based on what I've read and heard about the show, I can't believe this is a good hiring decision by the producers:

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - The political left and the political right will join forces on Fox's "24" this coming season. 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."

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.

In case you weren't aware, Garofalo was one of the talk show hosts at the now failed Airhead America radio network. Sanity was not her strongpoint. However, she's an actress so I guess with the right motivation she can act sane.
