Check out this very funny vid of Roseanne Barr belting her way tunelessly — but with admirable gusto — through Star Spangled Banner at a baseball game in 1990. It’s a classic and apparently led to George Bush branding her “disgusting” and “a disgrace”. You go, girl!

The nutty rasta has indeed turned out to be the most fun story we’ve had in a long while. I just love the way Schalk Burger turns around at the end of the anthem to check out Ras. “Who is that fucking palooka?” you can see going through his head. Click here to go a highly entertaining take on the story by The Daily Maverick, from which I gleaned the Roseanne Barr clip and here to go to The Times editor Ray Hartley’s blog, where he runs the full response to Rastagate by the SA embassy in Paris.
