Roseanne Barr Wants To Legalize Marijuana, Announces Run For President?

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- The self-proclaimed original domestic goddess is ready to take her opinions to the highest office in the land. Yes, thats right, Roseanne Barr has announced shes running for President of the United States. Jay, I decided since youre the one who got Arnold Schwarzenegger elected as governor of California that I wanted to make my announcement here, on your show, because I really want to ask for your support, Roseanne told Jay Leno during an appearance on Thursdays The Tonight Show. My announcement is that I am running for President of the United States. The 58year-old former small screen star said she wants to join the 2012 race so that she can be part of the debates and represent the taxpayers. In fact, Im choosing the taxpayers as my Vice President, she told Jay, to rousing cheers from the audience. I want to put the questions to the panel about like, where the hell did our money go? Thats number one. In addition to an immediate accounting for the government bailout money, Roseanne declared she has another type of green on her mind. The legalization of marijuana is number one the end of all drug wars, she told the late night host of her top priorities. Roseanne, who moved to Hawaii in 2007 to farm Macadamia nuts a move which is chronicled on her Lifetime reality show, Roseannes Nuts said shes been inspired by former Alaska Governor and Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin in both her foray in reality television and a bid for Presidency. Its because of [Sarah Palin] that I decided to do a reality show. And also, I have feral pigs that overrun my farm and Id like to shoot them out of a helicopter, she told Jay with a smile. Thats kinda what got me to thinking that I too should run for President if she can. As for her potential party affiliations, Roseanne has no interest in being associated with either Democrats or Republicans. Im not for either party because they both suck and theyre both a bunch of criminals, she said. I made up my own party its Americas Green Tea Party. Thered be no taxes. Id forgive all student loans, all debts, she added before joking, Its really thought out. Copyright 2011 by NBC Universal, Inc.
