Big Mama v. Mama Grizzly-Roseanne could be the woman to take on Palin & her fellow conservatives
Slate ^ | March 18, 2011 | Jessica Grose

Posted on 03/18/2011 8:28:45 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

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....

There wasn't room for a "barf alert" in the title.

That's alright -- it would have been redundant anyway!

Personally, I think Roseanne going up against Palin would increase Palin's support immeasurably! Roseanne comes across as an ugly, mean, loud-mouthed pain-in-the-ass toad, and would provide a striking contrast emphasizing Palin's infinite superiority.

I can’t decide who’s dumber, Rosanne or Janeane Garofalo.

Jessica Grose misspelled her name. It should be “GROSS”, like this article.

Roseanne Barr once was funny, back when she was on HBO’s Comic “WOmen of the Night” (along with Paula Poundstone, a has-been; Rita Rudner, Judy Tenuta and possibly Whoppi Goldberg).

Now she’s an old hag and Tom Arnold got out when the gittin’ was good.

A “nut” running a macademia “nut” farm = “nut farm”.

It is a shame the way talented people turn to the Left and destroy themselves except in their minds.

They did it in 2008 and won big. People want clowns, apparently.

Roseanne calles Palin “that stripper chick” from a 2009 blog post. Yes, that’s how I usually describe women who have a 5 children including a special needs child and a combat vet. And the media will give Rosanne the whale plenty of coverage for her rants in 2012.

If anyone ever fit the description of SLEEZE, it’s Roseann.

I had forgotten all about her but she still thinks she’s a big shot, lol.

Roseanne's 15 minutes of fame ended over a decade ago when her sitcom was canceled due to low ratings (it was actually pretty good the first few seasons, until the producers gave her too much control and she started using the show as a platform for her liberal causes and huge ego.)

Roseanne has essentially been living off the "momentum" from her one success for the last 15 years. Everything she has tried since then has been a commercial flop. I seriously doubt Palin has much to worry about from a washed up, crude has-been comedian...

LOL!

- #1 - There are no more phone booths

- #2 - Neither would fit in a phone booth alone

- #3 - They may only be one biped mammal

(I don’t consider either to be a human)

I have a certain respect for Barr.

When O’Reilly asked her about being a liberal, she said, “I’m not a liberal. I’m a socialist”.

She said it several times, to make sure he got it.

I thought, well she’s crazy, and she’s stupid crazy for sure, but at least she’s honest stupid crazy.
