Roseanne Barr Running For Green Party Presidential Nomination
Good news, if it goes past the notional stage into reality.
Roseanne Barr would not get many votes but, owing to her prominence (by which I mean, weight) she would get some.
It should also be noted she is authentically, in-the-gut (which is ginormous) a blue-collar socialist. At least as theory goes. Pretty sure she minimizes her tax burden, of course (and speaking of burden -- did you know burden is a synonym for weight?).
"The Democrats and Republicans have proven that they are servants -- bought and paid for by the 1% -- who are not doing what's in the best interest of the American people," Barr said.
...
"I will barnstorm American living rooms," she said in a candidate questionnaire submitted to the Green Party. "Mainstream media will be unable to ignore me, but more importantly they will be unable to overlook the needs of average Americans in the run-up to the 2012 election."
She has filed her paperwork, she says.
