Roseanne maybe would have been a good replacement for Rosie O'Donnell on The View, but she has already said she couldn't do it. Although Barr was flattered by the fact that it was readers of her personal blog (Roseanneworld.com) that voted for her to take O'Donnell's seat, she only considered it for about a minute.
(See the May 2, 2007 blog entry at http://www.roseanneworld.com/blog/2007/05/ )
Directly from Roseanne: "In reality, I could never host that show, or any network show, because I have opinions that are not sanctioned by the powers that be who refuse to allow even one dissenting voice over the airwaves of television (in this a "free" country)."
