Roseanne

UPDATE:
A day after Roseanne's blogs from below attacking Brangelina, Dowd, McCain, Edwards and others, she responded to the response

all celeb news is calling me to come on their shows and talk about my "attack" on brangelina. They say nothing about my attacks on howard dean, pumas, obama, hillary, maureen dowd, bush cheney, pelosi, congress, religion capitalism and satan though...I liked angelina til i heard her say she likes insane mccain for potus. By the way, I think elizabeth hasselberg is a f'r s're closet case that wants to get whipped by sherri shepherd in a black corset while old babs slaps a riding crop on both of their exposed butt-oxes. love, crackpot granny!

She added another post three hours later saying:

i do not know brangelina and do not mean to personally impugn them as they might be good people in the flesh, but the media's images of them are smelly and vile, and I must always attack the media's representation of what is good or cool, because those who inhabit the media world of glamour and entertainment and fashion and gossip are horrid people who have no talent of any kind, and yet think of themselves as tastemakers.



PREVIOUSLY:

Roseanne has taken up blogging on her website in a big way, and is voicing her contempt on all sorts of issues multiple times a day, from Hollywood celebrities to the candidates to Maureen Dowd.

In a post entitled "Jon Voight," Roseanne lashes out at Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, and Jolie's supposed comments on being a still-undecided voter. After calling Voight a "used tampon" she writes:

jon voight your evil spawn angelina jolie and her vacuous hubby brad pitt make about forty million dollars a year in violent psychopathic movies and give away three of it to starving children trying to look as if they give a crap about humanity as they spit out more dunces that will consume more than their fair share and wreck the earth even more. (just sayin').
Also miss jolie says she likes mccain too and hasn't decided who to endorse....huh? Aren't you supposed to be somewhat enlightened, or do you not know that the african daughter you hold in every picture had parents who suffered and died because of the republican party's worldwide economic assault on africa over the last few decades since reagan? whaaaa...??????!!!! (for that matter, the thai and vietnamese sons you are photo'd with weekly too!!!? who's pictures you sell to raise money to help the poor? Their families are victims of America's right wing military incursions too. Mccain wants to continue with the idea of war for profit...the americans are over that thinking now! They have drugged our troops and lower classes into supporting their oil business atrocities for long enough. We want to save not lose our souls thank you. Now go back to making your movies about women who love to handle big guns that shoot hundreds of people to death. Ps....it might be good for your asian and african children's self esteem to know you support a brown man for the leader of the free world.)

In another entry called "Elizabeth Edwards" she writes:

tell your husband to man up and claim his baby. Divorce him. take your kids and go to the beaches in southern france and then go see gaudi's art in barcelona.

And she minces no words when it comes to McCain in multiple entries slamming him on all kinds of issues. In an entry called "McCain is pro-life" she writes:

He looks like a fetus and his wife looks like king tut. they can both worship the holy hidden orifice from beyond the great behind where fetuses (white ones) live in heavenly peace!!!

Another entry displays her thoughts on Maureen Dowd in its title, 'Maureen "C-Word" Dowd'

Roseanne Is no diplomat. She spews forth the truth in a raw and sometimes vile way - but it's the truth. Bring on the No-Bullshit News Hour with Co-Anchor Rosie O'Donnell. It would be such a relief to have two bitches to contrast with the oh so calm and politically correct mostly white MSM news.

The MSM news spends three months discussing Reverend Wright saying exactly what the CIA said about 911. Yet it ignores John McCain claiming to be a Baptist though he neither belongs to nor regularly attends any Baptist Church. He;'s never even been baptized - something about water burning his flesh. but Baptist polls better with his base. Why has no one asked him when he had this conversion that agents of intolerance are now okay?

Cindy McCain is a "good woman" who had an addiction to prescription pain killers = Not true. She was a drug addict who used her charity to illegally traffic in drugs. She settled with DEA for a 250,000 fine and community service. If she were black, She'd still be in federal prison. McCain is still involved in unethical land dealings with Charles Keating.

McCain's chief economic advisor's criminal past is never noted, nor the infamous involvement of Phi Gramm and his wife have with Enron. We need the Rosie and Roseanne News Hour to blast the bastards and tel the truth. Until then, I'll settle for Keith Olbermann - the only MSM guy not on the White House payroll.

How do you know that she made a deal with the DEA? Another example of MSM ducking out on an important story. Can you tell me where to look to confirm your allegation. You are so right that if she were black the Useless (my term for U.S. Attorneys) Attorneys would have thrown every piece of the federal sentencing guidelines they could and locked her up.
I deal with the poor people both white and of color. Trust me, their "justice" is indeed very different.

She does, and she's never flinched from the start of her career til now. I totally understand her recation to the media casting themselves as 'tastemakers' - she got that SPOT ON! I don't trust any news source to be reliable, informative or educational to the general public to which it is supposed to serve. Not any more. They've all pledged allegiance to indifference, and would rather we buy what they are trying to sell, both from the newscast we are watching, and the products they are advertising, enforcing every ounce of air time space possible on ads for products and upcoming shows and specials, with a bubble in the left corner of the screen that contains a special message we just have to read while we're watching our favorite show....th­en another to the right, with a scroll along the bottom....­.. All of this information coming at you, and most of it is total crapola...­....It's the same thing 100 times worse with the print media.

It's unfortunate that Rosanne only seems to find strength and fullfilment in viciously tearing others apart. I've never heard her speak well of anyone. What a sad, angry little woman.

Her targets here are well deserved. Too bad you can't see that. She's a comedian by trade. Her whole shtick has been her razor sharp tongue and wit. She's still pretty damn funny as well as outrageous. Have you tuned into Limbaugh, O'Reilly and Coulter lately?

Roseanne is funny and original and loudmouthed. She's real and a little nuts, needs us, her audience, and makes the world look rounder and richer. I like her.

Jolie has a passionate feeling for orphans, is a private person, and has never known what its like not to be stunning. She's apparently not well educated or political and nobody should care who she endorses. Guys who drool and get sweaty and defend her are just delusional and irritating.

Agree or disagree, she speaks her mind, is entertaining in her own right (if not ribald), and is at least worthy of a token listening to.

She's not always right. Anyone who believes _____ is always right is wrong.

At least Huffington Post made mention of her comment about the media ignoring her on everything until she mentioned this branflakes couple...

For God's sake, the woman just gave birth to twins and is trying to deal with how to breast feed them at the same time so that she is not a constant milking machine. Are any of you who are spitting such vitriol at her, Moms? Do you remember when you first gave birth to just one baby????

Too bad she is beautiful. If she weren't, I don't think there would be so much hatred spewed at her. We wouldn't be having this conversati­on.In order to do good works, you have to look like Mother Theresa to be commended.

(In case you think that there is nothing to that, consider that Dr. Ruth was allowed to talk explicit sex on prime time TV. If a beautiful woman did the same, it was classified as porno and not even allowed on the airways. People are uncomfortable and JEALOUS of beautiful women. Both genders!

oh. my. goodness. let me say, as a woman i have no problem at all that angelina is beautiful. my problem with her is that she is also a homewrecker. she knew that brad pitt was already married and yet she pursued him anyway. and yes brad allowed himself to be pursued. the fact that she has given birth does not put her in a special category above all other beautiful, nonfamous, non-adulterous women. women's beauty whom i am most impressed by because they are nonfamous and have to manage life in the real world. women who do not get paid $15 million dollars fo sell pictures of their children, (big deal she give it to charity, she has enough money in her bank account to donate to charity without selling her children's pictures) women who do not seem to be on some sort of look-at-me i'm every woman mode.

perhaps if you could take a moment to consider the facts stated above, she may not be sooo beautiful to you anymore . . . but i doubt it.

She's got it really rough-- and all you Moms out there who gave birth to "just one baby" are a bunch of whiners. Especially those that have to work 10 hours a day 50 weeks a year to make $40,000-- you think thats hard? Imagine giving birth to TWO babies! A J's got you beat.

Angelina Jolie beautiful? You've got to be joking. I agree that she is sensuous looking, but I'd be afraid that she'd stab me in bed. Do you remember that she carried a vial of Billy Bob's blood around her neck? Real beauty is Catherine Zeta Jones, dark hair, perfect features, all combined to knock your socks off. While I do not agree with Rosanne's crudeness, I do agree that all the attention paid to Brad and Angelina is a little sick. Why don't they adopt children in this country? There is certainly enough poverty in this country; why do celebs go overseas?

Vote for McCain? I just lost respect for all their good works.

I gotta say though....­the fact that Angleina Jolie who is supposed to be some sort of champion of human rights would even consider voting for a guy like Mccain practically begs this kind of attack.

Don't back down, Roseanne. Anybody with a black adopted child who would vote for McCain, who wouldn't even vote for the King Holiday! It was time for somebody to stand up for Zahara. I'm glad Roseanne did. People are so busy sucking up to Angelina for being beautiful and generous that they don't call her out when she's being absurd. I hope Roseanne keeps it up!

PhDiva: Where did you see that Jolie is for McCain? She just gave birth to twins and is trying to figure out how to breast feed them at the same time. And you think she is being "absurd" for not telling US who she is voting for??? And, btw, Pitt is for Obama. God, millions of lazy people don't go vote and all you can worry about is Jolie's? Maybe she actually doesn't want to hear the right wing harangue her if she comes out with her choice.

Poor Zahara. Just imagine that she has to depend on Roseanne to stand up for her. In Zahara's home country the Jolie-Pitts have started a huge orphanage that they are planning to turn over to Zahara to run when she comes of age. What bad parents they must be to be instilling a sense of duty in her. Gosh I hope that wonderful Roseanne will come and save her from these terrible parents!

I seriously hope you were joking there.

Uh oh - poor Angelina?!
She said it explicitly that she's yet to decide who to support and that is already shocking! That means that she's undecided and might as well end up supporting McCain...

GO ROSEANNE !

I have triplets and I breastfed all so what? Just suppose Zahara DOESN'T want to run the orphanage? Why should it be Zahara's duty?

Not that I have anything against Jolie's choice as it is hers to make but just sayin' what is your point?

You're joking right? She gave birth to twins and that's the excuse for being undecided at this juncture? Not to mention, what sense of "duty" is Zahara going to grow up with when she's carrying a thousand dollar purse at the age of 3 and her parents are selling her siblings pictures for $15 million?

It seems she has recanted a bit on her statements against Angelina. Evil spawn was a bit too much. I, too, was personally critical of Angelina's "I don't know yet" response. However, the attack was unwarranted. I think because of her role with refugees, Angelina probably doesn't want to ruffle any feathers, and I'm disappointed she sounds so ignorant by her response. Brad Pitt is known to be a Democrat and I'm sure he supports Obama. If Angelina were to go for McCain, I'd be disappointed, but always a fan of what she represents personally and her tremendous acting talent.

Thank you libs for another celeb gift to add to the likes of streisand redford et al to give a whole lot of credibility to prograssiv­es... she still is the epitome of class , ever since she asked George Clooney (who started on her show) to" take me backstage and make me stink"

Just heard Rosanne's rant against Obama and Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey saying Oprah has split the Democratic party with her support for Obama. Come on Huffington­..print everything she said; she's another Hillary backer who blames Barack Obama for Hillary losing and is now lashing out at everyone including Angelina and Brad Pitt. Apparently people are not flocking to her shows and she's trying to drum up publicity.
