Roseanne Barr: 'I Call Bulls--t' on Ann Romney's 'Claims to Have Worked Her Toned A-- Off'

By Noel Sheppard | April 16, 2012 | 21:06

Noel Sheppard's picture

Comedienne Roseanne Barr took to the Daily Beast Monday to offer her vulgar opinion on the Ann Romney-Hilary Rosen dustup.

Not surprisingly, she wasn't taking the side of the Republican wife (vulgarity warning):

I almost got sick to my stomach when I heard Hilary Rosen’s unfortunate words regarding Mrs. Mitt Romney.

It’s a shame that Rosen lobbed the Romney campaign a fat political softball they could smack over the gender fence. It’s especially unfortunate because Romney was on the ropes with American women, at least the ones with an IQ higher than Ramblin’ Rick Santorum’s.

And so it began.

After tearing into Mr. Romney for a few paragraphs, Barr moved on to his wife:

Mrs. Mitt Romney and one of her adult sons took to the airwaves in defense of countless stay-at-home mothers whose husbands are billionaire insurance-company hucksters and corporate raiders, and both represented a decadent and crumbling empire well. Mrs. Mitt Romney claims to have worked her toned ass off, raising five Romney males all on her own, as privileged wives often do—but, no, Ann, I call bullshit on your Big Mama story, girlfriend. Your son may flash that “I adore my mother” grin The son seemed quite vacuous, like his father, really, but perhaps I am mistaken in my judgment of him and of Mrs. Mitt Romney. These were just my perceptions as I watched the son she raised speak on AC420 or whatever they call it. It doesn’t seem she did too good of a job, given that her son exhibits such a low level of moral awareness. Was he a passenger in the car with the dog roped in a cage on top?cable TV all day as he backs up your claims that you did it all on your own with no help—except from a “lady” who comes in one or two hours a week to help with housework. Of course neither Mrs. Mitt Romney nor her son knew the name of the “cleaning lady,” either, because like 99 percent of rich people, they are oblivious to those women who do work outside the home, even when they work inside the home of the Romney family. I say let’s find that “cleaning lady” (if she is documented) and ask HER how many hours she worked per week over the years.

Story Continues Below Ad ↓

Next it was on to attacking one of the Romney children:

The son seemed quite vacuous, like his father, really, but perhaps I am mistaken in my judgment of him and of Mrs. Mitt Romney. These were just my perceptions as I watched the son she raised speak on AC420 or whatever they call it. It doesn’t seem she did too good of a job, given that her son exhibits such a low level of moral awareness. Was he a passenger in the car with the dog roped in a cage on top?

Nice of editor Tina Brown to give this disgusting woman a platform to vent her hatred from.

What else is a rag like the Daily Beast good for?

So how long will it take for Obama to call Romney's son?

Submitted by Radical1979 on Mon, 04/16/2012 - 9:39pm.

Barr forgets she's one of those rich women.

Barr is a failure in so many ways. She was sued by her sister, accused her parents of incest, then confessed it wasn't true, can't keep a relationship going, and her career is as bad as Kathy Griffiths.

I'm sure Barr hates Ann Romney for being everything Barr is not, attractive and successful in the way that matters most, with her family.

edit
Romney's didn't live like millionaires in the early years of their marriage. I'm sure Ann Romney cleaned more toilets than Roseann, because Roseann is such a pig she wouldn't bother.

And, apparently relevant to some in the entertainment / news industry.

P.S. Rad, I'm curious. Were you born in '79, or were you radicalized at that time.

Did Roseann's reality TV show was cancelled, so I kind of think her relevancy is in her own mind, unless she's spouting views the left would like to exploit.

I graduated high school in '79. A conservative in PA, a friend wrote a poem about me, "Radical in Disguise". Aaah, youth. So I used it in my screen name.

Submitted by Radical1979 on Tue, 04/17/2012 - 8:17am.

Did you ever have a nickname for someone you and your spouse used at home? Then you kept having the urge to call that person the nickname in person? You learn to watch your language. People in the talk industry should do the same.

But more offensive than the mistake is that twice he blamed Hannity. Man up Beckel.

Submitted by Jer on Tue, 04/17/2012 - 1:12am.

1. I was pointing out the irony of issuing a vulgarity alert for comparatively mild terms in light of the frequent employment of far more colorful rhetoric on the comment threads.

2. I haven't seen the Beckel clip. I understand he was unaware he was on air which slightly mitigates but certainly doesn't excuse the bad behavior. He exhibited extremely poor judgment, and he should, and I assume he will, apologize to everyone he can think of, if he hasn't done so already.

3. Whenever I point this out, I get slammed for pointing it out, but apparently it needs to be said again. I doubt anyone at this website has been more critical of the vulgarities and offensive remarks uttered by libs, comics or otherwise. For example, I have said--and still believe--Maher should be taken off the air because of his repeated use of vile descriptions and labels regarding Sarah Palin.

4. Now speaking of hypocrisy, I don't recall a single person here objecting to Dick Cheney telling Leahy to go f**k himself on the floor of the US Senate. Instead, he was applauded for it.

Jer

clarification: ...not that Leahy should eff himself on the Senate floor, but rather Cheney and Leahy were in the Senate chamber when the VP made the 'suggestion'. :-)

The Cheney comment was made in June, 2004. Newsbusters was launched in August, 2005. Apparantly, only you were logged in at the time of the event, which is probably why you can't recall a single person here objecting. I understand we're all hypocrits, but comeon....

I said I don't recall anyone objecting. I don't. But maybe my recollection is faulty. Maybe I overlooked a post or two at the time. Maybe there were some criticisms posted after the last time I checked. Obviously, there are many who don't bother to comment on a subject, and numerous members who for whatever reason never see a particular blog or comment thread at all. Also, there were other blogs where the incident was referenced in the lead article.

In any event, here's your opportunity to state your opinion about Cheney's rhetoric. By the way, my recollection is that he pretty much doubled down on it when asked about it on a later occasion, or at least he didn't back off of it.
