    No joke: Roseanne Barr says she is gunning for the Green Party's presidential nomination,  The Associated Press reports.

    "The Democrats and Republicans have proven that they are servants — bought and paid for by the 1 percent — who are not doing what's in the best interest of the American people," Barr said.

    Pilot Season: NBC picks up eight comedies, including ones from Roseanne Barr, Jimmy Fallon

    On Thursday, Barr submitted the paperwork for her candidacy, writing, "I will barnstorm American living rooms. Mainstream media will be unable to ignore me, but more importantly they will be unable to overlook the needs of average Americans in the run-up to the 2012 election."

    The Green Party will determine its presidential nominee during a convention in July.

    The actress and comedienne, best known for playing a blue-collar mom on the ABC sitcom Roseanne, recently sold a pilot to NBC. The project, titled Downwardly Mobile, stars Barr as the proprietor of a mobile home park and surrogate mother to all the characters who live there.

      Hollywood sees America as a big joke. The only things important to Hollyweirdos is money and themselves. Why don't we just shoot the Statue of Liberty in the head and get it over with? We're going to Hell in a hand basket.

      Roseanne clearly you are smoking too much pot these days! You disgraced America when you sang the National Anthem at a World Series game...just because you want to see our country as a joke...it is serious business. Yes & with many flaws. These flaws take educated people to figure it out. A vulgar mouthed. stoned out jester without any filters...is not what America needs or wants!

      2012 vote is the most important of our lifetime and this twit is supposed to be a serious candidate? Shameful that she's making a mockery of serious issue. This is the same beast that grabbed her crotch after butchering the National Anthem. Yeah...we need her like we need Bin Laden to come back from the dead.

      SERIOUSLY THIS COUNTRY IS ALREADY A MESS. SHE COULDN'T EVEN SING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM AND SHE WANTS TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT???
    • Sapphyre  •  St Louis, Missouri  •  3 months ago
      She is looking for either attention or money or both.
    • Regina  •  Glendale, California  •  3 months ago
      She'll add humor to the arena. Like Pat Paulsen did.

      You know what? I saw her redeem herself with the National Anthem and she tried really hard to make everyone proud. I actually teared up when she sang it for girls at the University of Hawaii. It was perfect. Has anyone ever listened to what she has to say about the country? about politics? She knows what shes talking about and she has great ideas and the ambition to get #$%$ done. Yes, she was hot mess 20 years ago, but that was 20 years ago. People grow up, people change. Personally I love her.
