As difficult as it was
for people like Roseanne Barr
to maintain both a shred of dignity
and a positive impression
of our president
a new tweet comes in
at an ABC-dubbed
"abhorrent, repugnant"
new low
soon after the show's record highs
for the network.
Despite her prior tweets
wholeheartedly embracing some measure
of abhorrence and repugnance
ABC could rightfully not tolerate
her describing former Obama senior adviser
Valerie Jarrett
as a cross between Planet of the Apes
and Muslim Brotherhood
and had to cancel
her eponymous show.
Would that presidencies
could come to such swift
and decisive ends.
