It’s becoming clear that Roseanne Barr is handling her presidential defeat worse than Mitt Romney. While Romney chose to retreat to La Jolla, Roseanne seems to have chosen La-La Land. Tonight she’s on a “goddess” kick, declaring that the pagan goddess Ishtar is the reason for Hanukkah.

Okay, honey, let’s straighten out your Jewish holidays. Esther is Purim, Hanukkah is Judah Maccabee. Mm’kay?

No, really, she’s not. We even tried to Google this theory to see if there’s some weird online group pushing it. Nothing. Oh, and that’s not even the weird stuff!
