Damn You, Ambien, You Racist

May 30, 2018 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Do whatever it is you do to prepare yourself for crazy crap.

Roseanne Barr says that something made her do that crazy butt tweet.

Ready?

“It was 2 in the morning and I was Ambien tweeting-it was memorial day too-i went 2 far & do not want it defended-it was egregious Indefensible,” she wrote.

Okay, beside the fact that I seriously doubt that Ambien makes you a racist.  I mean, like a million people take Ambien and it didn’t make them racist.  Plus, what the hell does Memorial Day have to do with it?  I mean, is she saying, “Look, I had to deal with all these dead soldiers and stuff.”

Thelma says she doesn’t know why they cancelled Roseanna.  Thelma thinks it would be a wonderful opportunity to just take her off the show.

Rename it to: Hey Y’all, John Goodman Is On TeeVee! and everybody would watch.

Replace Roseanne with Tom Arnold and have it be about a gay couple.

Replace Roseanne with Rosie O’Donnell.  She’s funny.

Oh hell, here’s the best.  Replace Roseanne with Wanda Sykes, who was the main writer anyway, and have a biracial couple really piss off Trump.

Personally, I am waiting for someone to defend Roseanne by saying, “Well hell, Bubba, I took me some Ambient once and woke up to find Klan robes in my closet. It can happen to anyone.”

  1. Once took some Ambien. It wasn’t all that great. It also did not compel me to do and say things that would end up getting me horsewhipped and run out of town. I must really be boring!!!

    Sanofi US @SanofiUS
    People of all races, religions and nationalities work at Sanofi every day to improve the lives of people around the world. While all pharmaceutical treatments have side effects, racism is not a known side effect of any Sanofi medication.

    Ambien may cause you to think your inauguration crowd was bigger than it really was.

    Sanofi doesn’t buy that story, and neither should any sentient human. Tag line:

    “While all pharmaceutical treatments have side effects, racism is not a known side effect of any Sanofi medication.”

  5. Side effects from hearing Roseanne’s explanations may cause dizziness.

    Worth it to listen again to the song from South Pacific. Nothing about Ambien in there!

    Why do republicans get to blame a drug for their racism, when democrats can’t blame guns for deaths, injuries/ racism,hate???

    Apparently Spanky’s inauguration crowd isn’t the only thing that looks bigger on Ambien. Maybe Ambien needs a warning like on passenger side mirrors “objects in mirror are LARGER than they appear”. 🙂

    Did I read there somewhere that Roseanne is a trumpett? That pretty much cures me of any positive feelings I may or may not have ever had. WTF! is wrong with her?!

  9. I’ll betcha that hitting the Ambient is what has caused Louie-Louie to forget to make good on his promises……

    Thank you, Juanita Jean, for these lovely suggestions of replacements. I needed that belly laugh today!

    “do not want it defended”

    “it was egregious Indefensible”

    So if she does not want it defended, why is she issuing a blame-it-on-the-drugs defense?

  12. Andy Marlene has a real nice cartoon about Roseanne and the Planet of the Apes folks:

  14. Anyone remember the photo of her dressed as Hitler, taking ‘burnt jew’ gingerbread men out of the oven? I don’t remember her blaming it on ambient.

    I’m still shocked that someone thought that was a good idea.

    What? No Twinkie defense? Makes every bit as much sense.

    I thought that stuff was Viagra or Cialis for Donnei (who probably scarfed them down like St. Ronny did jellybeans–or was that Dumbya?).

    We need to have some leaks from SOBOTUS’s pharmacists or MD’s, I’ll wager that there’s paydirt in pendejo Comrade Bonespur’s Rx info.

  17. Wanda Sykes is perfect! YES!

    But in fairness to the actors and crew, was there a contract that prevented them from getting burned in this kind of situation?

  18. Now Roseanne is mad at others on the show, especially Sarah Gilbert and Laurie Metcalf, because they were quick to say they totally disagreed and wanted no part of that racist crapola.

    By the time I checked Twitter yesterday, the whole thing was over. I was stunned by the swiftness; usually these things twist in the wind for a couple of days.

    Then I realized; Roseanne was used as a surrogate for Trump. We can’t rid ourselves of him, so a proxy was jettisoned with all due haste.

    It seems a bit unfair. But considering Roseanne’s devotion to Trump, she should be grateful for the honor.

    As one person put it: It’s the ARYAN Brotherhood, not the Ambien Brotherhood.
