It is SO on!

Quote of the century, politics division:

“Oprah has given us Swartzenegger [sic] and Dr. Phil,” Roseanne rants. “If that was not offensive enough to decent thinking people, now she brings us Obama.”

Addressing Oprah directly, Roseanne adds, “You are a closeted republican and chose Barak [sic] Obama because you do not like other women who actually stand for something to working American Women besides glamour, angels, Hollywood and dieting!”

Wednesday night, Roseanne seemed to throw her support behind Hillary Clinton, stating, “I have decided that having a woman president before any man of any color is what these times call for.”

Courtesy of--who else?--Allahpundit.

What I love about this---even more than the prospect of an Oprah/Roseanne slap fight (and you know my money is on Oprah in that battle)---is how this is the replaying of the ancient split going back to the 1870s over the fifteenth amendment, and how Elizabeth Cady Stanton had a cow and split the movement over the issue of black men getting the right to vote before white women.

Of course, Roseanne probably thinks "Elizabeth Cady Stanton" is nothing more than a euphamism for an [DELETED FOR BAD TASTE]. But that doesn't diminish the irony at all.

UPDATE: Of course, she is right about Dr. Phil.

UPDATE DEUX: I read the above quote, and thought of this:

Hillary Clinton for President: Let 'em know you're there!
