Comic actress Roseanne Barr makes fun of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt on her Web site blog, but its not your garden variety celebrity sniping. The so-called “Domestic Goddess” Barr tries to make political points, and in the process calls Jolie the “evil spawn” of her father Jon Voight and calls Brad Pitt “vacuous.”
Barr, who starred in the sitcom “Roseanne” from 1988-97, started off her blog post slamming actor Voight for his conservative politics. But the so-called “Domestic Goddess” soon veered off and turned her attention to Brangelina.
Barr said Pitt and Jolie make about $40 million a year starring in “violent psychopathic movies” and give away $3 million 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.”
In the blog, which Barr posted on Friday, the 55-year-old actress also mocked Jolie’s adoption of children from countries in the developing world, including daughter Zahara from Ethiopia.
“… do you 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?” Barr wrote.
That statement puts her somewhat at odds with Sen. Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate she supports. At a widely viewed forum on Saturday, Obama praised President George W. Bush, a Republican, for his President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), an initiative to fight AIDS and other diseases in Africa and around the world. Bush signed a bill last month authorizing up to $48 billion to be spent under PEPFAR.
A spokeswoman for Pitt could not immediately be reached for comment on Barr’s blog post.

- Posted by DUMMIEI don’t care much for Roseanne but, in this issue she is right. People magazine presents the Jolie-Pitts like the “perfect family”. It wasn’t that long ago that Jolie was carrying Billy Bob’s blood around her in a vial and had a tattoo in her arm along with her 13 other tattoos. Now we are suppose to believe that she is mother of the year. Nannies raise those kids and the pictures are set up to look like the happy family. The blue hair on the little boy was a bit much.

- Posted by Speaking of consuming more than your fair share, Roseanne… » Pursuing HolinessRoseanne has some pretty big skeletons in the closet, and she should be very careful who she attacks because the truth just might come out and then she can really let the world know what a fool she is, and that is something stated that can be backed up.

Zahara’s mother is alive. She gave Zahara up for adoption.
- Posted by Carol AnnRoseanne who?
- Posted by RandomRoseanne has absolutely zero knoweledge about anything she rants about. She’s proven it time and time again folks. Just check some of her past statements.
She’s reactionary in the worst way and thinks of herself as some sort of intellectual but in reality, all she does is read and regurgitate left-wing blogs. Far left-wing blogs at that. She’s nothing more than a giant echo chamber full of hot air.
“… do you 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?”
Someone please tell me exactly what a “worldwide economic assault” is??
So Ms. Barr, colonialisim had nothing to do with modern day Africa? Oh wait, isn’t America a ‘Colonial’ power?
Mugabe MUST be a CIA operative. MUST BE. Or maybe a British plant? And the situation in the Congo? Pure Bush all the way. Of course the French and Dutch had NOTHING to do with it eh? Same think in Rwanda.
She’s a 9/11 troofer of the worst sort. A blame America firster of the highest degree who chooses to spit on this country at every opportunity while she lives here in safety and total comfort, living on wealth accumulated from average everyday Americans who really had no idea that she was the kind of left-wing nutjob she has turned out to be.
In short, she’s a total Hollywood Hypocrite.
- Posted by TazzermanMr. Fusion,
- Posted by woogaThe reason the Obama point is thrown in there is because Barr is wrong about the “Republicans” decimating Africa. In fact, even those who most vehemently disagree with Bush (Obama) admit that the one good part of his presidency is Bush’s monumental support of Africans. Barr’s entire premise (Republicans = bad for Africa) is wrong.
Barr is indicative of the brainless, sycophantic, empty headed far left.
- Posted by Jay TWhatever you think of Jolie’s politics, she is LIVING her ideals. She has created wealth, and is using it in the best way she thinks she can.
But leftist fascists like Barr see only ideaology and the utopian vision.
She gives millions thru her foundation, but the critics can only look at the millions she earns and keeps as a negative. Weaksauce. Demonstrates thier own psychosis.
The far left is no longer progressive. They are sick.
Roseanne who? Oh, wasn’t she some kind of comdiene or something in the 80’s?
Crawl back under your rock Rosanne.
- Posted by WALTCWho would you want on your jury if you were accused of a capital crime-Barr, or Brad/Jolie? If you had to pick one as president, who would you pick? If you had to leave your kids with any two for a week…
Barr is a bitter, brainless person. Jolie/Pitt do good and she bays at them for not giving all their money away.
Jolie adopts kids and Barr screeches about that.
If only we were all in a mud trench, foodless, with no universities, no houses, no money, no choices, Barr might finally be happy.

- Posted by Linda DennoThe guy who does my lawn has a ‘different’ political opinion than mine and seems a little odd. But he does an excellent job on the lawn. So I pay him to take care of the lawn, give him a nice tip at Christmas and ignore the ‘different’. But the guy who does my lawn is much more civil than some Hollyweird types. I guess that is because he doesn’t have so much time on his hands and isn’t so self important.
