In an effort to drum up support for presidential wannabe Barack Obama, Roseanne Barr filled her blog with a good tongue-lashing fired off in the direction of Angelina Jolie and her father Jon Voight. 

However, Barr may have said too much because the public is giving her genuine heat for speaking her mind.

On her website, Barr wrote, “Jon Voight is a frightened little girl in a pink ballet tutu, who acts like Obama just wondered in from the rain forest with a bone through his nose and a communist pamphlet in his loincloth."

Barr heaped up insult after peculiar insult and even went to the extent of ridiculing Jolie’s adopted daughter, Zahara, whom she adopted together with partner Brad Pitt six months after her birth.

"Do you know that the African daughter you hold in every picture had parents who suffered and died because of the Republican Party's economic assault on Africa over the last few decades since Reagan?"

Barr also took aim at Pitt and called him "vacuous," and said that the couple earn "forty million dollars a year in violent psychopathic movies and give away three of it to starving children," referring to the Jolie-Pitt Foundation that has raised millions for charitable causes.

It appears that Barr, who was once the queen of prime time owing to her outrageously popular '90s sitcom that bore her name, thinks that she could bring in voters by spewing mouthfuls of insult.

For someone who has declared herself a “domestic goddess,” she sure has a funny concept about people who try to bring a ray of hope into the lives of a few fortunate beings.

Too much flab up there?

However, a day after disgorging out thoughtless remarks against Jolie and Pitt, Barr is now backing off.

Now, she's got her sights directed at bloggers and the media for being so quick to report on her insulting remarks.

"Those who inhabit the media world of glamour and entertainment and fashion and gossip are horrid people who have no talent of any kind, and yet think of themselves as tastemakers,” she said.

Duh... That last line pretty much says a lot about herself.
