Another unhinged Rosie? Sad but True
One of my all time favorite TV shows is the 80’s and 90’s sitcom Roseanne.
Roseanne when it came out could have been a portrait of my life. At the time I was not well off financially, and was dealing with a lot of stress and unhappiness with laughter and sarcasm.
It was one of the first sitcoms to portray what life for most working class people was like: A struggle with highs and lows. It also, as Roseanne Barr notes in her DVD commentary, clearly showcases the disconnect in class in America.
But. One of the things I do struggle with is Roseanne herself, the actress, the comedienne and the activist.
I perused her blog and was shocked at how she can flip from crazy to wacky in no time at all.
Here are some examples from Roseanne World. WARNING: EXTREME LANGUAGE AHEAD
On Anne Coulter:
Ann Coulter
She serves a purpose, and a part of that is disturbing. When any woman with opinions speaks up - including Anne (the mouthpiece for Aryan womanhood) - she is the victim of verbal sexual assault. Her genitals and sexuality are gleefully insulted: she has an Adam’s apple, she likes getting fucked in the ass… This is wrong in any case, even hers. It demeans all women to do it. She can be debated intelligently, and if she would allow me that, I would be honored to do it, as I think she makes some valid points about the failures of the left in this country.
A clear thinking, fair rational piece. Now flip to:
Ann Coulter’s Anti-Semitism
The ultimate state of the perfection of Jews: they are all dead.
This is what is actually in the minds of Bush/Cheney and all Christians of the right who run this country, and ironically, are the major supporters of the state of Israel’s ride to ruin which is coming very quickly.
