In 2012 television superstar and comedienne Roseanne Barr stepped foot into the political pool. Not only did she run for President of the United States, she also ran for Prime Minister of Israel. Initially running as a member of the Green Party, Barr lost the nomination to Jill Stein and quickly changed affiliation to the Peace and Freedom Party.

Winning her new parties support, Barr enlisted Cindy Sheehan as her running mate, but the pairing was not one made in heaven. Sheehan hated Barr and abandoned the campaign after being told she could not withdraw. Despite all the turmoil and controversy surrounding Roseanne Barr’s campaign, she managed to get 0.05 percent of the nation’s vote, finishing sixth overall in the Presidential race.
