This is a Quagmire Folks......Roseanne Lashes Out Against Brangelina Over Obama?

I try to steer clear from celebrified gossipy fare but this next story is an interesting one, as actress/comedienne Roseanne Barr who rarely shies away from controversy, has recently put Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie on her hit list. It is pretty well documented that I am a contrarian on a number of issues (that are unfairly ascribed to persons of color) but one’s ethnicity or vocation (acting in this case) notwithstanding, should said person be required to vote for Obama solely because they are a part of the liberal entertainment elite? Well Ms. Barr seems to think so. And the conundrum for this writer is.....Barr makes some salient points.

Here are the comments that Barr made from her blog that have caused such a stir:

"Evil spawn Angelina Jolie and her vacuous hubby Brad Pitt make about forty million dollars a year in violent psychopathic movies and give away three of it to starving children trying to look as if they give a crap about humanity as they spit out more dunces that will consume more than their fair share and wreck the earth even more," Roseanne writes.
"Also Miss Jolie says she likes McCain too and hasn't decided who to endorse....huh? Aren't you supposed to be somewhat enlightened, or do you not know that the African daughter you hold in every picture had parents who suffered and died because of the Republican party's worldwide economic assault on Africa over the last few decades since Reagan?" she adds.
"Or that matter, the Thai and Vietnamese sons you are photo'd with weekly too!!!? Who's pictures you sell to raise money to help the poor? Their families are victims of America' s right wing military incursions too," she continues.
"It might be good for your Asian and African children's self esteem to know you support [Barack Obama] for the leader of the free world," the comedienne finishes.

I believe her thoughts on holding the Republicans accountable for some of the ills taking place in African countries are not sophisticated or accurate. No one can discount the poor performance of the Bush administration but perhaps our current president’s saving grace may be the promulgation of his rather extensive humanitarian efforts as it relates to the Dark Continent. And the last time I checked, the U.S. Embassy bombings of 98’ in which hundreds of people were killed in explosions at the East African capital cities of Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania took place under President Clinton’s watch. But I must say that Barr’s assertions concerning celebrity culture (of which she is a part of) and why the Jolie-Pitts family should be supporting a man of color for POTUS in deference to their children bares a ring of truth. What say you? Does she have a point or is she just another notable windbag?
