In a series of now-deleted tweets, Roseanne Barr said she was “ambien tweeting” when she sent that early-morning racist tweet aimed at Valerie Jarrett:
Roseanne is definitely not off Twitter despite her statement yesterday that she was leaving it.
And her “Ambien tweeting” line has users describing every odd (non-racist) thing they’ve done while on the sleep drug. @therealroseanne pic.twitter.com/VAEbSxYYbc

But she’s not blaming the Ambien. Or something:
no, i didnt i blamed myself. stop lying. Yes, I have had odd ambien experiences on tweeting late at night-like many other ppl do. I BLAME MYSELF OK? it's just an explanation not an excuse, Ok, bully?

Anyway, political scientist Larry Sabato had the BEST response we’ve seen so far:
In case you are ever offended by anything I say on Twitter, please know that I was probably Jim Beam-tweeting.
