Hey if an inexperienced community organizer can run and be President, why not a washed up comedian! Roseanne Barr has announced that she’s planning to run for President. She claims she will start her own party called the Green Tea Party!

Former sitcom star Roseanne Barr says she’s running for president. Barr made the announcement during the taping of Thursday’s Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

“I am running for President of the United States,” Barr said to cheers (preview video below).

According to a Tonight Show insider, Barr then claimed, “I’m totally serious,” and explained, “‘Cause I want to be part of the debates, because I want to represent the tax payer. In fact, I’m choosing the tax payers as my vice president.”

[….]

When Leno inquired if she would be running as a Democrat or a Republican she replied, “I’m not for either party because they both suck and they’re both a bunch of criminals.”

She continued, “So I made up my own party. It’s the Green Tea Party.”

Obama has lowered the bar of people running for President. This will be funny if Roseanne Barr tried to get on the ballot and actually campaigns. That would be comedy gold! Maybe she can get Charles Johnson to be her running mate!
