Here's the actual quote: “He listens to you! Put on something something tight and low cut and tell your father to f*cking stop it! Tell him it was an Obama thing, and see how it goes!” Bee suggested. Here's a couple good quotes: “Ivanka posing for Playboy would be really disappointing… not really. But it would depend on what was inside the magazine…I don’t think Ivanka would [do a nude shoot] inside the magazine, Although she does have a very nice figure. I’ve said that if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.” “You know who’s one of the great beauties of the world, according to everybody? And I helped create her. Ivanka. My daughter, Ivanka. She’s 6 feet tall, she’s got the best body.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the hypocricy of those that have condemned him for being a creep that rubs me the wrong way. Along those same line I'm sick of the fake apologies. I'd have more respect for either Roseanne or Bee if they just flat out said, "Yeah I said it and that's what I meant." But thst hurts the pocketbook, so you'll never hear it.

In all seriousness, I think Melania Trump is a complete waste of air. But I believe what Bee said crossed the line. What Roseanne said crossed multiple lines. I do agree that, unless sincere, apologies don't mean dick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. “If you can’t take a joke, it’s just too #%^*ing bad.” - Mick Jagger, 1978, responding to Jesse Jackson’s outrage over the Some Girls lyric “Black girls just want to get #%^*ed all night, I don’t have that much jam.” True that Roseanne’s tweet was more more offensive, but that’s how you deal with these clowns, for better or worse.

The difference is that comedians like Don Rickles and lyricists like Mick Jagger are GREAT at what they do. Roseanne? She's never been funny. Ever. Even when her show was funny, it was never because of her. If this makes her go away for a long time, then I'm good with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea why any woman would call another woman that name, ESPECIALLY in this alleged #metoo climate we're all marinating in. It's harassment all the same. I used to like Samantha Bee when she first started out but she ended up like Colbert where the only shtick they have (or want to have) is politics and if everyone is doing politics, you keep crossing lines to remain relevant. Maybe its the same as 'The N-Word', only they can use it with each other.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It affects John Goodman and all the other actors. More importantly it affects the writers, show runners, sound people, makeup, and all the faceless crew behind the camera. The off camera talent is what makes a good show run.

It's been a while so I might be off on this, but I feel like he was already reduced to random tv appearances at that point anyway. So his lunacy at the end just returned him to where he already was.

CBS and the show's producer should mess with him and see they are on board, to reboot it again with Ashton Kutcher.... As for the publicity thing, this is BAD publicity causing sponsors to pull out, cast members to speak out against her and quit. The problem in this situation is that the comments were racist, unprovoked, and another comment in a long line of comments she has made in the past. They have her a chance and she crossed the line again. Then she continues to come unhinged (almost wondering if it's an act to try and have people believe she is mentally ill) by apologising and leaving Twitter only to return later that day and blame ambien, then take shots at cast for not standing with her, then acting remorseful, then saying she tried to have them not cancel the show but ABC wouldn't, etc. Jimmy Kimmel, someone who angered Roseanne during an interview a few months ago for questioning her Trump support because of her past has even come to her defence saying that people need to show her compassion. It is funny to see the trump supporters now screaming about Samantha Bee (a Canadian IIRC) using the 'C' word referring to Ivanka and demanding her show be canceled too, yet their Hero in charge has used that term many times in reference to woman, and many of their fellow supporters have used that term before referring to others. A woman using that word referring to another woman is the same as making a racist remark about someone else? Theres slot of apples an orange comparisons from the 2 sides trying to defend their people. Comments or remarks based of race or sex are usually looked at much worse then insults made based off of actions or comments made by someone.

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I will say I find it funny that Rosanne is now being praised by right wingers now. Despite her rendition of the national anthem, and even running for president with the Green Party, which makes Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton look like Ronald Reagan, in 2012.
