Willie Nelson happy to be Roseanne Barr's running mate; Update: Nelson backs out, Barr freaks out

Out: Mike Tyson. In: Willie Nelson.

This morning, Green Party candidate Roseanne Barr offered the VP slot to convicted rapist Mike Tyson. Yay, feminism! But this afternoon, her original favorite reconsidered and decided to join her ticket. (Not that Roseanne has the Party’s nomination yet, but hey, no time like the present!)

We hope Mike Tyson takes rejection okay. We’d wear ear muffs while breaking the news to him.

UPDATE:

This is rich. After Twitchy brought this post to Willie Nelson’s attention by tweeting it to his Twitter handle, the singer had second thoughts:

So, back to Barr/Tyson 2012?

Roseanne isn’t pleased. At all.
