Roseanne Crushes Brad and Angie


Not sure what Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie ever did to Roseanne Barr, but it must've been pretty bad for the former sitcom star to go on the rant she posted on her website today. I'd link to it but the site appears to be down (swamped or maybe Brad and Angie had their hackers go after it). Anyway, the juicy bits are out there for all the world to see. Roseanne's angry diatribe, addressed initially to Angie's crazy right-wing father Jon Voight, reads in part:

Your evil spawn Angelina Jolie and her vacuous hubby Brad Pitt make about $40 million 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.

Miss Jolie says she likes [John] 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?

It might be good for your Asian and African children's self-esteem to know you support [Barack Obama] for the leader of the free world.

Now go back to making your movies about women who love to handle big guns that shoot hundreds of people to death.

I'd really love to dismiss Roseanne's statements as the ravings of a lunatic who somehow forgot to take her meds, but I can't. She has pretty much nailed the hypocrisy of Angelina and anyone else in Hollywood who makes money in culture-destroying trash then pretends to give a damn about the plight of humanity. The only problem with Roseanne's screed is the part about Obama. He's somehow not a part of the great all-devouring American machine? Why? Because he's a Democrat? Because he's black? Roseanne has drunk the Obama Kool Aid. She's not alone, that's for sure.
