Roseanne Barr Is Running For President!
Bullshit artists, watch your back! Blue collar feminist/TV star/macadamia nut farmer Roseanne Barr has filed documents declaring her desire to be the Green Party’s 2012 candidate for President of the United States of America.
No, really. “I am pleased to announce that I am seeking the Green Party’s nomination for President of these United States of America,” Barr said in a statement. “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. As a long time supporter of the Green Party, I look forward to working with people who share my values. Behold the greening of America!”
Following her announcement, Barr took to twitter to clarify her motivations for running, namely, to bring attention to the issues she believes matter the most: jobs, healthcare, and listening to the voices of all Americans, not just the ones with money and power:
I’m not sure the Green Party represents the middle way between Democrats and Republicans, so much as “what the Democratic party would be if it had any balls/was not already bought off by corporate money,” but I still support most of her sentiments. It’s a shame Barr has little chance of winning, but if she can bring these important issues to the attention of the actual winner, her run will have been worthwhile.
