Roseanne Barr said Thursday she's running for the Green Party's presidential nomination — and it's no joke.
The actress-comedian said in a statement that she's a longtime supporter of the party and looks forward to working with people who share her values. She said the two major parties aren't serving the American people.

Way to discredit the Green Party Roseanne.
You go.
Good for her.
This just further proves that there is no front-runner who is worth electing.
Oh Good!
I hope Nader and Cynthia McKinney run as well along with Kookucinich!
How about the Blue Party instead? She can just hold her breath until she turns the color of her party.
It sounds to me like Roseanne may be upset that she’s not part of the 1% anymore. Well, being a has been can really play hell with the bank accounts.
I get a kick out of wealthy Hollywood types pretending to be part of the 99%.
Go Rosie! (snicker)
May Rosie be to Obama like Ralph Nader was to Al Gore in 2000!
You go, girl!
I am damn sure not part of the 1%.
You can also bet that I am not a part of the alledged 99% these turds represent.
That 99% is one of the biggest lies ever told, Can’t be over 1% operating in the direct oposite direction of the original/
Now Rose Ann. She hasn’t worked lately and I suppose she needs the publicity. I have a 40 watt bulb in my icebox that is smarter than Rose Anne.
Has Ronpaul endorsed her yet?
Your go, Grrrl.
If she has Rosie O’Donnell as a running mate, the jokes write themselves.
Well, the Greens do like compost.
....Barr/Nunn!
Weird-o. Does Barr, who has lots of stuff, know that the Green Party wants to abolish private property and limit salaries, among other stupid stuff.
