A Tale of Two (Unhinged) Rosies
What’s in a name? Certain celebrities named Rose if called by any other name would still sound like insane, attention-seeking nut jobs without a shred of sense.
Oh, we all remember Rosie O’Donnell: how she mocked Chinese Americans, said 9/11 was a government conspiracy, repeatedly attacked Elisabeth Hasselbeck on The View, and then filled up her unemployed hours by blogging the insanity that apparently fills her head (although she’s apparently taking a break).
Meanwhile, yet another Rose has been stinking up the blogosphere: Roseanne Barr. Yes, that Roseanne: the one with the TV show, who later claimed her parents had physically and sexually abused her, while they (along with Roseanne’s sister) claim she’s a pathological liar. The one who married Tom Arnold — then a relatively unknown comic — and created a character for him on her show, got his name tattooed on her butt, and proudly dropped trou at a ball game to show it to the public. The one who screeched the National Anthem at a Padres game then grabbed her crotch and spit. Who later divorced Tom Arnold, married her bodyguard-chauffeur, had a son she refers to as a test tube baby, and got divorced again. That Roseanne.
But lest you think that that’s the last we’ve heard of her, think again. Just like Rosie O’Donnell, Roseanne has taken up blogging as a way to fill her unemployed hours, and when it comes to vile, inane stupidity she’s somehow managing to make Rosie look like a rank amateur. Other things they have in common, besides apparent difficulties with grammar and punctuation: a belief that they alone can see the “truth” coupled with a near palpable hatred for anyone else who doesn’t see life the way they do.
Remember, for instance, Rosie’s remark that Elisabeth Hasselbeck, her co-host on The View, was “very young and very wrong.” Oh, sure, Rosie came out later and apologized after being practically routed from the show, but since then she’s taken to displaying pictures of Hasselbeck festooned with devil horns.
Roseanne Barr is equally quick to vilify those who don’t agree with her, and it’s that tendency which has brought the has been’s name back to the national spotlight of late. Her targets? Well, just about anyone: those who don’t support Hillary Clinton; those who “hoodwinked” Clinton into turning over her delegates; liberal columnist Maureen Dowd (though I can’t say I happen to disagree with her on that one); and a trifecta of Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Sherri Shepherd, and Barbara Walters.
For the most part, the blogosphere has been content to ignore Roseanne for the past few years. But last week when she unleashed a steaming dose of hatred on actor Jon Voight, his daughter Angelina Jolie, and her partner Brad Pitt, it became apparent that Roseanne intends to follow in Rosie O’Donnell’s vile and rambling footsteps.
Rosie (you pick which one) I, for one, don’t think you’re crazy.
I think you’re hatefully crazy. In fact, I’ve seen barn mice with more sense.
Katherine, are you trying to lower our IQ’s by making us read what they do and say?
I realize this is VERY politically incorrect, but: what is it with fat loudmouths?
Rosie, Roseanne, Michael Moore… and if I want to be “balanced” I could throw Rush Limbaugh into this category.
Maybe these people should go work on whatever issues are making them shovel food into their faces and stop directing hatred at people they disagree with.
Was it Thoreau who said the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation?
Emphasis on quiet, Rosies.
i’m not sure, but i think it was me that said…these two lard asses are using air that others could put to better use.
Why do we honor these mentally challenged has beens with our attention. This isn’t true of much in this world – but it is true of these two: If we ignore them – they will go away.
John:
You are correct, but I believe Thoreau was paraphrasing Pink Floyd.
Rosanne Barr? Is she still alive?
Toby Keith has always been a Democrat. But he said he supported Obama, but didn’t know who he was voting for yet. He has a little bit of sense in him, I bet he votes for McCain. Because Toby is not that stupid to vote for B Hussein Obama.
As we used to joke about Navy SEALS, “They aren’t crazy. You have to have a brain to be crazy.”
Oh big deal, people rant and rave all the time on blogs. Only a shrill little cons, like Michael Savage with his hatefilled curse laden rave about her blog, care. Honestly after listenting to him spew his garbage last Tuesday about Roseanne, he is the best example of mental disorders of vermin in the media today. Most people in the world don;t take her seriously or read her blog. I could care even less what some bs right wing hack has to say about some bs left wing blogger.
If this kind of stuff is important to you, you need to get a life.
Ah yes, the Rosie/annes – magna cum laude graduates of the Julius Streicher School of Etiquette and Tolerance….
why would anyone be incensed over what is said about angelina jolie and brad pitt. they are just our puppet show of the moment, tragically not anywhere near as deep. if you’re mad at roseanne barr, why not be mad at say, charlie rose who turned out to be quite the schmuck for obama. he hangs with arianna huffington, the dowd clone who produces huffington post. disagree with arianna’s dumb nasty cult of adoring followers, terrorists, anti-semites and obama zombies, and see what happens. roseanne barr crazily mouthing off is no better or worse than that.
You realize that these 2 have found their niche – they know what hot buttons to hit to get some attention and use it pretty well – sort of like little fifi who craps on the rug when you don’t pay attention to her.
Actually Tom, I think you’re onto something. Roseanne might have noticed that no one’s paying attention to her, and decided she can do this rabid hippo routine also.
Whoops, “rabid hippo” is definitely not PC either, my apologies.
The two Rosies? Are we sure they’re not the same woman. I mean has anyone ever seen them together at the same time in the same spot? I doubt it.
“Julius Streicher School of Etiquette and Tolerance….”
So they walk around in jack boots whipping people and edit a racist newspaper?
What is the name of that “law” that says the first person who reachs for the irrelevant Nazi/Soviet analogy has lost the argument?
What’s up with the lack of capitalization and punctuation? Is this another way of thumbing her nose at establishment norms? Or is she really just that stupidly uneducated? I’m sure she could afford a steno to recopy her screeds and tidy them up.

In the Bronx of my youth, they were called Dirty Marys. But I guess Dirty Rosies would work too.
Judy makes an excellent point.

Here’s my take on the Rosies. I wrote it for one but it applies to both:

Cletus: looks like the huffington post’s hall monitors are out in force making sure everyone stays in line.
Just another attention grab by Roseanne. She’s fallen so low that she’s been shilling timeshares for Tahiti Village in Las Vegas on the radio. Pretty pathetic.
I next expect to see her pitching sleep number beds with Linsay Wagner. Just a matter of time.
Roy,
you’re on to something, thanks for the tip!
Apparently Roseanne has multiple personality disorder or did at one point. I remember hearing Jay Mohr once say that while on the cast of SNL it was always crazy when Roseanne was going to be the guest. Sometimes when preparing the sketches the cast would walk into the room and she would be sitting cross legged in the middle of the taking on the personality of a little girl.
He might have wrote about in his book about social anxiety disorder.
Sorry. It was Roseanne Barr that had mpd.
It is sad what the Roses have degenerated into. That last comment about the being from another dimention sounds a great deal as if Roseanne has had a psychotic break with reality. I hope she gets some help!

Is that the same as:
Too Much Tiger Food
Not Enough Tigers…
?
These women exemplify the worst of the Left: Loud, Stupid, Ignorant, and Proud Of It.
