Bless her heart: Roseanne Barr publicly begs for 'American Idol' gig

Oh, honey. Aren’t you just precious? It seems that Roseanne Barr is desperately seeking work after ditching (or being booted from) her Green Party presidential plans. What is her latest scheme? A judge on “American Idol,” of course. Poor Roseanne took to Twitter to publicly beg Simon Fuller for the gig, after learning that Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez are calling it quits.

Some Twitter users try to dissuade her. We can only assume out of pity.

Um. Knowing how television works might be a prerequisite of the job, toots.

Alas, she is already second-guessing her proposal.

Banksters! Now that is more like the Roseanne that we know. Whew! All is right with the world again.
