Why would anyone torture themselves like that?

In October 2009, Roseanne Barr invited readers of her blog to join in a ficticious "ten million b*tches march" on Washington, D.C. "[T]hat stripper chick sarah palin thinks she is roguing it up?" Roseanne asked. "Well, wait till all the fat pissed off b*tches show up for my speech." Together, she promised, they would tell off the "bankers and insurance ponzi scheming bastards" who are "robbing the women and children of this country blind." Just this past January, Roseanne repeated a more decorous version of her anti-Palin battle cry in an interview with USA Today while she was promoting her new book, Roseannearchy. "I think she's stealing my act, so that pisses me off," Roseanne said of Palin. "And she's not even doing it right. Be for the working people, not against them."
Presumably, this is the kind of "brutally honest" content that Lifetime is expecting later this year, when it airs a new reality show starring Roseanne as she lives and works on her 40-acre Macadamia nut farm in Hawaii. Lifetime is also undoubtedly banking on lots and lots of female viewers: Roseanne has long had her finger on the pulse of what women in America are thinking and feeling. Her eponymous sitcom has been airing continuously since it debuted in 1988 (they stopped making new episodes in 1997 but the show lives on in reruns—according to a TV Land representative, Roseanne is the channel's second-highest rated acquisition) and in its heyday shaped the national conversation on issues ranging from abortion to gay rights.
All this is why I am thrilled about Roseanne's return to the small screen. If she can reharness her power as a TV star, Roseanne will be uniquely situated to call out Sarah Palin and her Mama Grizzlies....

Roseanne is as dumb as a brick. Ignore her.
What a joke. The woman’s life is such a mess. What the media will do to attack Palin never surprises me.
I'm going to go out on a limb here, and predict that this show will bomb.
Oh boy, unless Janeane Garofolo were to throw on 150 extra pounds I can’t think of a more disgusting public face to put on the women of the liberal left..
That’s what we need. Something that will unify the mothers of America in support of Gov. Palin.
I hear 7 copies of her book sold. Roseanne bought 6 of them and gave them to her former co-stars, who then used them for fireplace kindling.
Her ex husband bought the other, and is using it for toilet paper. When asked if the paper from the book was more harsh and grating than TP, he said "I was married to Roseanne, I'm used to harsh and grating. Believe me, this paper is down right luxurious compared to her."
You never met my ex network administrator boss at a certain university. As ugly inside as outside. She preached all the isms of the wun. I left her behind a couple of years ago. One of the best decisions I ever made.
What’s this? The Left’s “Send in the clowns” strategy? That all they got?
Why would anyone torture themselves like that?
You know that giving names can help cleanse the soul.
The poster child for saying no to drugs and alcohol.
Let’s see... Roseanne on a nut farm vs. Sarah Palin’s Alaska. ( I didn’t see any of the episodes of SP because I do not have cable or satellite, but I saw web excerpts)
Why does the left (and the “right”) waste so much time on an unelectable non-starter?
Because they are scared to death of the power of truth.
“Ten million b*tches march” - OMG!
Sound the Fat-alanche ALarm!
Roseanne has nothing to worry about..no one is stealing her act, Roseanne is and always will be dumb as dirt..I wonder, which supposed personality of Roseanne’s is writing a book..is it multiple #40 or #100, I can never tell
Her brand of ugly, bitter humor may be funny to some, but it wears thin very, very quickly.
