Roseanne Barr used a Thursday night appearance on The Tonight Show to declare her candidacy for President of the United States (and Prime Minister of Israel).

Barr, who is making the publicity rounds for her Lifetime reality series Roseanne's Nuts, said her primary goal was to participate in presidential debates: "I'm totally serious 'cause I want to be part of the debates. I want to represent the taxpayers. I want to put the questions to the panel like, 'Where the hell did our money go?'"

She told Jay Leno she selected his show for the announcement because he helped get Arnold Schwarzenegger elected as governor of California. (The actor revealed that he was running for the state's highest office in August 2003.)

1. Oh great. Pat Paulsen, only unmedicated.

Her goal is self-aggrandizement and publicity for her little basic cable show.

And Jay Leno is still an ass.

3. I am so sick of people like Roseanne, Trump and Sarah Palin trivializing the office of POTUS.

They all have a couple of things in common, Reality Teevee & a lust for attention & $$$$$$. Which is just sad. :thumbsdown:

5. Blame the GOP.

And the piss-weak media for insisting on being balanced towards the ridiculous parody that party has become. They love their cartoon characters and sadly, such candidates are now considered normal at all levels. It's only a matter of time until a Dem nominee ends up being similar.

6. Barr is not dumb

She may have something worthwhile to add to any debates.
