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

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....

That picture of Grose ... don't you just admire the hell out of people who are so conventional in how they try to portray the image of themselves as being unconventional?

A copy-cat who's always pursuing "coolness" and originality, but never actually achieving them. As predictable as low tide.

Lovely.

If I were Sarah I would have them investigate and question the person who wrote this. Sounds like they are a dangerous loose cannon.
