The surreal moment at the Green Party's recent presidential debate in San Francisco came just after it ended, when candidate Roseanne Barr - yes, that Roseanne Barr - got campaign advice from punk pioneer and previous Green Oval Office candidate Jello Biafra.
He urged Barr to "use your humor."
Barr, as famous for her groundbreaking 1980s sitcom "Roseanne" as for the tabloids' documentation of her plastic surgery history, has been playing it straight - at least lately. But she is carrying a serious message for the party faithful searching for a way to grow.
So in deference to the Greens' anti-death-penalty stance, the wealthy TV comedian said she would stop joking about sending billionaires "to the guillotine."

This is great! Siphon money from Libtards and take votes from Obama. We can’t buy advertizing like this.
Perhaps she can do for Mitt Romney what Ralph Nader did for George W. Bush.
“Roseanne Barr seeks Green Party presidential spot”
The “Fat, Stupid, and Obnoxious Party” no longer exists?
Fat, dumb and Green is no way to go through life, son (er...maam).
I’ll probably vote for her!
Because I can’t imagine any Republican winning the state of Maryland (although I will be watching closely in case there’s a chance), it really doesn’t matter how I vote.
But it the Green Party wins enough votes, they’ll automatically qualify to be on the ballot in Maryland, where they’ll be a pain in the Left’s rump.
Biafra, real name Eric Boucher, ran for mayor of San Fran and placed 4th out of 7 candidates.
>>Biafra has always been one to speak his mind and take risks. What started out as a practical joke became a very serious campaign for the position of Mayor of San Francisco in 1979. While he did not win, he became a magnet for the vote of those dissatisfied with the leading candidates and came in fourth with 3% of the total vote. He never lost his sense of humor during the campaign with a platform that consisted of requirements for all downtown businessmen to wear clown suits between the hours of 9 am and 5 pm, legalized panhandling at a 50% commission for all state workers laid off due to deficit caused staff reductions, and legalized squatting of the homeless in all buildings left vacant for tax write-off purposes. During his campaign, he wore T-shirts from an opponent's (Quentin Cop) previous campaign and vacuumed leaves off of another's (now US Senator from CA, Diane Feinstein) front lawn. His effect on the campaign upset the election so much that they later passed a resolution stating that no one would be able to run for office under anything but their christian name. Unfortunately Jello isn't his real name... it's Eric.

Well instead, how about talentless, amoral, ugly inside and out, unjustifiably wealthy TV “comediennes”?
What—wasn’t Jill Stein available?
Oh pleeeeeease do it, big Rosie. You are the gift that keeps on giving. It’s your duty to run! Do it durn it!
Humor?
Really!!??
What is so funny about a beastly, self-loathing moron with a crying, pathological need for attention at any cost and a career history of behavior so gratuitously sophomoric that she feels she MUST shock, insult and offend fully 50% of America in order to justify her politics???!!!
Whenever I see her or hear her name, I always think of Lou Costello’s ever-precious line: “Uhm-boy are you fat.”
and if she wins, she promises to take singing lessons.
Well: You are right. In Maryland we may as well make a joke of voting .
Did the Fat, Drunk and Stupid Party already have their candidate?
Heh. They’ve actually found someone less likable than Ralph Nader.
