So, Rosanne Barr came here to Israel and claims that Antisemitism is what brought her down and I'm over here thinking, 'Didn't you compare Valerie Jarret to some kind of talking ape/Terrorist?'
I mean, she did apologize and claimed it was because of Ambien or something, but still.
I have no doubt that Rosanne's experienced antisemitism. She's not your typical Jewish person, and I know a lot of older Jewish people who have very similar world views. I still think it's a little silly to cop out on your personal responsibility there.
@Surasanji largely useless trivia: the ambien line, while 95% horseshit, has a grain of truth to it
taking ambien for too long has an effect not unlike being permanently drunk. ain't nothing coming out that wasn't already inside you, though. which is part of why the US military had some issues with people in ambien fugues wandering off base and shooting up the locals
@bryceyoungquist Maybe she was drinking, or on ambien, or any other things. I don't know for sure.
Still, she needs to take responsibility for the words she said- I do feel she did so, but perhaps not loudly enough.
