Roseanne Barr wants her own party, but not the type you might expect.
The famously outspoken star appeared on Thursday night's "Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and made a startling announcement: "I am running for President of the United States."

But don't expect Barr, who has famously bucked tradition at almost every turn, to join an established political party.
"I'm not for either party because they both suck and they're both a bunch of criminals," she told Leno. "So I made up my own party. It's the Green Tea Party."

Entertainment Weekly spoke to a "Tonight Show" insider who quoted Barr as saying, "I'm totally serious. I want to be part of the debates, because I want to represent the taxpayer. In fact, I'm choosing the taxpayers as my vice president."

She recognizes that anybody else in the WH would be an improvement.

I’m so friggin’ disgusted with politics-as-usual that I’d probably vote for this bimbo. As said, how could she be any worse?

I don't support her candidacy.
She would, however, be an improvement over Zero.
This would also be an improvement over Zero:

It’s a cold day in Hell.
Rosie and I are in complete agreement about something...

Believe me when I say that there are many people who would vote for her just because she’s a so-called celeb.
Idiots would vote for Orca Winfrey if she ran. Thank God I’m not one of them.

Roseanne finally woke up and realized that she has been eclipsed as the nation's fat, obnoxious, liberal, loud-mouthed hag by Rosie O'Donnell. Running for president is her ticket back to national infamy.

The thought of that cow “running” for anything other than the refridgerator is a laugh.

She claims she wants to get a regular “tax payer” to be her vice President. She is also for the legalization of marijuana. That ought get the cream of humanity to the polls.
