Roseanne Barr wants to run for president

When Roseanne Barr appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Thursday, she revealed that she will be running for president.

“You know, Jay, I decided that since you’re the one that got Arnold Schwarzenegger elected as governor of California, that I wanted to make my announcement here on your show because I really wanted to ask for your support,” Barr said. “My announcement is that I am running for president of the United States.”

When Leno asked if the 58-year-old was being serious about this aspiration of hers, she said that she was “totally serious.”

“Cause I want to be a part of the debates, because I want to represent the tax payer. In fact, I’m choosing the tax payers as my vice president,” she added.

So what was it that pushed the former Roseanne star in this direction?

Sarah Palin!

“It’s because of her that I decided to do a reality show,” she said. “That’s kinda what got me thinking that I too should run for president, if she can… I feel like she’s stealing my act anyway.”

The star of Roseanne’s Nuts then confirmed that she does not belong to the Democrat or Republican party. Instead, she made one up for herself—American’s Green Tea Party.
