If it had been say Howard Stern..


Making those comments or tweets, why do I get the feeling there wouldn't be the same level of controversy? Remember when he made fun of a dead Mexican woman? everyone got over that and he got to keep his show. Men really can get away with a lot more...

The problem with Roseanne is a matter of timing. Her career had been quite cool for a while, and the public forgot she was a loud mouthed offensive idiot. Had she been at the height of her fame, these tweets would have been shrugged off. People expect Howard to say crazy crap every time he gets on the air. It's what he does. It's what she used to do. But twitter is a HORRIBLE unforgiving medium. Imagine if Don Rickles was taking to twitter every day unloading his act on people. They'd lose their minds. The context is all wrong.
