Gallagher Lashes Out

"What I never got was that he was never funny enough to be a guest, so how does he become the host? But that's America for you. America wants the mediocre. It doesn't want the heroic or the moral."
-- Gallagher, remarking on David Letterman, in 2005

That's right. Gallagher, the comedian of the Sledge-o-matic, twists off on Letterman, Robin Williams, Jay Leno, Jim Carrey and everyone else in The Oregonian. The guy is pissed -- pissed! -- about being ranked a measly 100 on Comedy Central's list of the 100 Top Standup Comedians.

Personally, we think Gallagher is damned lucky to have been ranked No. 100. If he beat out Fred Travelena at all, it is a complete travesty of comic justice and Comedy Central's arbiters of taste face certain doom in the fiery pits of hell.
