Roseannne Clarifies Clumsy Remarks
Apologizes Profusely, Calls for Action

roseannemouthH.jpg
Roseanne's never been shy of controversy. But, unlike so many controversial characters, she's also never been afraid to admit when she's wrong. The 54-year old actress caused a stink yesterday when she called gays "narcissists" who don't care about other people's political well-being. As happens, the stink became a stench and now Ms. Barr's issued an apology to clear the air. She writes on her website:

I deeply regret that I have offended gay people. I said things that I do not really mean, before I had thought them through... I was wrong and I seriously apologize!
She went on to further explain her remarks, saying that gay people need to align with other oppressed groups. The gay icon went on to blast gay Republicans and urged everyone to fight for financial equality:
I have met too many gays who are Republicans, and I cannot understand how they could choose that!

Let's all leave our own bedrooms, kitchens, neighborhoods and groups and meet each other to form a diverse army that stands for Democracy and Economic Justice!

Okay, we'll join this army, but only if the uniforms flatter our asses. Oh, wait, does that make us narcissists?
