From JewishJournal.com, 3/23/06:
Roseanne Barr says she has two secret ambitions. One is to celebrate the bat mitzvah she never had as a youngster growing up in Salt Lake City.
The other is to become prime minister of Israel, a sort of Golda Meir II.
“My family won’t listen to me, but otherwise I know every solution to every problem,” she said.
Such as this problem: You’re Roseanne Barr, and you haven’t really done anything in over 10 years. Everybody has pretty much forgotten about you. The only time you pop up anymore is when you do or say something dumb and insane.
How do you solve that problem? By doing something dumber and insanier than you’ve ever done before. And keep in mind: you’re Roseanne Barr!
From the latest issue of Heeb Magazine:
Get it? Oven? Because of the Holocaust? But wait, there’s even more from this winsome mistress of subtle understatement:
As the “Domestic Goddess” dons the famous moustache, transforming into “Domestic Goddess Hitler,” I notice that she’s beginning to have fun. She nails the Fuehrer’s facial expressions with twisted glee, and as she takes the burnt gingerbread “Jew Cookies” out of the oven it occurs to me that Barr may be the last celebrity utterly incapable of giving a f*** — a quality theoretically easy to embody until it’s time to face the practical repercussions. “Franklin Ajae, Paul Mooney, Mort Sahl and Dick Gregory’s passings will tear my kishkas out,” Barr laments. “They gave everything they had to just tell the truth, and they couldn’t make a decent living because of the choice they made — not selling out to Hollywood.”
Or Israel, apparently. Via the Jerusalem Post earlier this year:
Roseanne Barr: Israel is a ‘Nazi state’
Ugh, I can’t even make jokes about this disgusting pig.

“Franklin Ajae, Paul Mooney, Mort Sahl and Dick Gregory…blah, blah, blah…they couldn’t make a decent living because of the choice they made — not selling out to Hollywood.”
No. They couldn’t make a living because they were unfunny lunatics, and HBO had already signed Bill Maher so their quota was already filled.
I….brain….hurt…WTFmeter now broken…
Must…reach…tequila….
She scares me. I am not sure why some people think that being funny is saying and doing abhorrent things, but it is not. That picture is repulsive.
yeah a big “WTF, why?” went through my brain after seeing this picture. i don’t like her in real life, but i do watch reruns of ‘roseanne’ every night on the TV land prime channel. i can’t lie.. i love that show. anyone remember her singing at that baseball game in the early 90s?? wow..
‘Roseanne’ was good for one reason in my humble opinion: John F-ing Goodman. (Well that Sarah Chalke for a few seasons, but I digress)
Who were we talking about again? Oh yeah, the crazy lady who thinks she’s Hitler. It’s pretty sad when someone who was considered a pioneer in comedy is reduced to doing jokes that are a pretty direct rip-off of Sacha Baron Cohen material (wasn’t funny then either).
She looked better fat.
It’s the old addage. Negative attention is better than no attention at all. Next time, let’s not give her any attention.
Wait a second. Britney Spears and Mischa Barton can both be carted off to Valium Villa for doing things less batsh!t than this, and she’s still lurching around on her own recognizance? WTF indeed. She just shot to #1 on my Celebrity Death Watch, with a bullet. Anyone who’s lost the plot that badly is probably one Twinkie away from Pollocking the walls with her own Day-Glo little brains.
Mel Brooks, that’s who gets away with this shit. That’s because he’s funny, Roseanne isn’t, she’s just mental.
Completely, utterly brain-damaged. Lay off the drugs, lady.
Basically she has used up what little talent she had 20 years ago and like Jeneane Garfolo is grasping at straws to keep herself in the public eye.
This story is makeing the rounds of the conservative blogs and pissing off a lot more people that it is impressing. I am sure whatever sycophant that advised Rosanne to do this will get their ass chewed when it back fires later on.
It would be better with a “Before” picture.
Something like “This is your brain” and “this is your brain on Leftist Propaganda”.
On the other side, we are talking about Roseanne Barr here. She’s a yardstick of what crazy in Hollywood is.
“I know every solution to every problem.”
Would that be the _final_ solution, Rosie?
Word, Beige.
This woman is batshit crazy with a side of freaksauce.
Roseanne:
Batshit crazy with a side of freaksauce.
Oops.
That was me as anonymous, wasn’t trying to rip myself off.
Blah. I blame the heat.
Sad, used to like her. Now pretty insulted as an American Jew. The stuff that my grandparents went through to escape Europe during the time of Hitler, all thrown out the window b/c Roseanne wants to get a few cheap laughs. How boorish. Seriously disappointed, but not surprised.
Yeah, I just can’t see Hitler or any reference to him bringing the funny. I didn’t think it was funny when Brooks did it, and it’s exponentially less funny when Barr trots it out. It’s insane, and insulting, sad, and desperate–all of which are antidotes to funny. Much like Barr has been a lifelong antidote to attractiveness.
You forgot the best part, Steven Spielberg owns the damn magazine this ran in. Wrap your head around that.
Dayumm! A few years ago it seemd like there might be some hope for her after all, because it was reported that she had done some soul searching and had decided to go to people that she hurt in the past, and apologize for things that she’d said and done. I guess that didn’t last too long.
Ditto what you all said; boring, boorish, desperate, and if I may add, sad.
It’s done. I’m officially desensitized. I can’t think of anything that would offend me anymore after seeing this. I miss talent, thoughtful debate, true trailblazers…we’ve turned into freakin’ animals.
I thought she had already kicked the bucket a long time ago. Oh well. Guess she figured if she got nasty-mean funny that people would care again. Not me.
Didn’t she have a bunch of tattoos as well???
May she end up in a ditch covered in petrol-my apologies to Eddie Izzard.
She never struck me as very funny either. This is really bad taste from so many angles is seriously boggles the mind! WTF!
She once turned Republican and became more sensible. NOw she is back to being her loony, unfunny self. I still cringe when I think of her attempting to sing the “Star Spangled Banner”
You know, I don’t care about the tattoos, or the once-Republican thing, as much as I care about the fact that she could possibly think that anything Nazi is funny–or even that it’s something anyone would want to see. “Jew cookies” are the antithesis of funny. The passage of time doesn’t make something funny; if it was once obscene, and it most certainly WAS, then it still is. She’s either truly insane, or so mean and tone-deaf as to be considered insane.
I’m not offended at the whole Hitler/Jew/Oven thing. Neither is my girlfriend. I mean she’s Jewish, not Hitler. At least she isn’t usually except those few days of the month. Gnomesayin?
But it’s just so lazy. Admit it she used to be funny. At least I thought so. But this is so obviously just a “hey lets offend someone to get talked about.” It worked. I guess people are talking about her on the inter-tubes at least. They are people right?
Her 15 minutes are up. Something like what happened to the Jews is not something you should ever laugh at, ever. It is pretty sad she had to do this to even get a look at. And did someone say that Stephen Speilburg owned the magazine? Shame on him.
these pics are certainly tasteless but it’s not the first tasteless thing she’s said or done.. and all the people involved in the photo shoot are as much to blame as she. i do admire roseanne, however, for her “i don’t really give a shit” attitude..insane as she is.
Yeah, but that “I don’t really give a sh*t” attitude shows up in Charles Manson, too. So, by itself, not impressive.
