Roseanne Weighs in on the Issues-Compares Bush's Washington to Hilter's Berlin [Volcanic Hurl!]

It started out as a fashion show for full figured gals, but Roseanne Barr the mistress of the public spectacle, quickly turned Tuesday's Lane Bryant fashion show into a demo for the disenfranchised.

'Are there any fat people in the house,' brayed the washed up comic. Cheers rose from the crowd at the Manhattan Center display of plus size lingerie and 'cabaret attire.'

'Are there any gay people in the house?' she asked. Louder cheering. 'What about the Jews?' she continued. Still more cheers.

Roseanne (who has slimmed down a bit herself) wen on to tell of her love for the 'Hitler Channel.' (which is apparently what she calls the History Channel)

Suggesting that George W. Bush's Washington Administation has come to resemle the Fuhrer's Berlin, she added: 'We're going back to that time now.'

That comment gave model Tyson Beckford cause to nudge Dubya's cousin Billy Bush, who was in the audience.

Another has-been getting more attention than she would otherwise by running her mouth about Bush, Iraq etc. They know their media lackeys will report whatever they say as long as it's against GWB.

"Celebrities" live for media attention and this is the cheapest, fastest way to get it.

There are certain "entertainment" (i.e., "hostess") industry jobs she might make a go at. Don't laugh, someone out there would gladly pay.

Actually, it is a desperate planned action to milk a career that is finished in America except for after midnight tv reruns.

Go on stage and bash America. Take that tape to Paris or Berlin show it on local talk shows where America is hated with a passion. Bash America even more on the show, and they have an instant following in that tv market for their crummy no talent shows.

This whole thing is probably preplanned and staged by the syndicate which is marketing the old shows of the has beens in America.

I have heard that about 70% of Follywood's total market is overseas and our share decreases each year.

You have GOT to see the pics and the article..in today's NY POST...don't know if they're in the online paper...but if you can get a copy..it's a must, must buy....and will not doubt engender much commentr here about the female form..

Actually her final talk shows were a hoot.

The station managers across the nation where putting her show on at 3:30AM in the morning because no one wanted to see her anti-American tripe, so she started having Art Bell's guests on.

I bet her agent probably came up with the idea.

[ewing]

The U.K. Sun has them as well..

Have you ever seen Rosanne and this man
in a room at the same time? Coincidence, I think not!

[ewing]

How much more money could she earn by turning her back on the USA?

[ewing]

The U.K. Sun has them as well..

Gag! Please note, Roseanne is NOT on the FreeRepublic list of celebrities whose mention requires a picture.

[ewing]

There are worse ones!

Those two were the most tasteful of the bunch..

The gal is #47 sure looks like Monica Blewinsky.

I have no idea, but the market potential overseas now exceeds the American market in sit com reruns and recycling movies.

Most of these old Follywood Clymers are really desperate. They probably lost most of their investments by owning stock in the left wing companies that are belly up or going belly up.

No one will sign them for a new contract in America and often their reruns are just fillers for time for the weird tv ads of beds, knives, male potency tabs, female desire tabs and other products which can't afford prime time ads. There can't be much income from these fill in reruns.

So they bash America and go to America hating countries to push their old sitcoms or worthless reruns of cancelled old tv series.

You aint seen nothin yet!

[ewing]

So that is how they keep those residual checks rolling in the coffers.

I enjoyed two hours on the history channel two nights ago. The first was about JFK and how he should have been court martialed twice and would have except for his daddy's influence and how his father fabricated the PT-109 story. The second was about his brother, Joe Jr. and how his father fabricated the story about how he was "shot down by the Germans and killed while trying to escape. Daring young men, yes. Heros, NOT.

As human shields go...she might actually be effective. That body could absorb a lot of ordinance. :)
