It’s Time We Talk About Ellen Barkin

Who would have thought the star of one of the best out-of-body movies EVAR, Ellen Barkin, would be one of the funniest mofos to ever grace Twitter?

Switch with Ellen Barkin and Jimmy Smits was a slapsticky early 90’s comedy that had Barkin doing a sort of reincarnation thing where she becomes a man. Not just any man, a tough-talking, cock-swinging, crude, rude, outspoken dude. And she’s hilarious in it. Was this the first sign, that left to her own devices, she’d be a real life, tough-talking, no holds barred, raucous Twitter/Media Queen? Possibly not, but that hasn’t stopped her.

Her latest accomplishment? Stirring up old Bill O’Reilly’s poop-riddled stew pot.

The Tony-winning actress, who is starring in the upcoming film “Another Happy Day,” — see there, Ellen, I plugged your shit — has made news lately for her political beliefs. She’s taken on Fox News and the Tea Party, because, duh, somebody just should…all the time.

“Well, we’re experiencing divisiveness in terms of our politics. Like, the Religious Right has identified themselves because of the propagandizing and illiteracy of…I don’t know…News Corp, maybe?” Barkin said. “They have identified themselves with this extremist, right-wing insurgency of a party-this Tea Party. They call it a grassroots movement. Grassroots? You’re attached to the wrong ship.”

And that’s what she said in an interview. Her tweets? Heh.

“If Ann Coulter didn’t have a dick…I’d call her a c*nt.” Following a night of live tweeting a Republican presidential debate, she said, “G’mornin my frenz…Im still all f*cked up from debate nitemares & sh*t…dreamt Newt stuck his Mitt up my ass w/o any Santorum.”

Apparently Bill’O has taken offense to Barkin’s wonderful little commentary. On an appearance on Joy Behar’s HLN show, the issue of Fox News came up again. Barkin mentioned that O’Reilly referred to her as “a washed-up has-been, d-list celebrity, bitch, rich, whatever, you know, dumb.” Boy, did that ruffle Bill’s feathers. He wanted Barkin to know that he in fact did not say those things…on air. Actually in a newsletter he sent to his followers which we can only assume is titled something like Crazy CrackPot and Squirrel Shooting Weekly, after showing a picture of Barkin and listing some of her criticisms he says, “In other news: Ellen Barkin is still alive! Ellen Barkin is still alive! There can now be a Johnny Handsome II!”

Ever gracious, Barkin says, “I’m very flattered that I’m now on Bill O’Reilly’s radar.”

O’Really, Ellen? We know you can do better than that. WE’VE SEEN IT.

Here are a few of Ellen’s best tweets. Let those Effin, Eff, the Eff Bombs fly, lady!

She’s gangsta, yo.

You never ask a lady her age, or her current state of sexual satisfaction…unless you’re willing to be of service.

I think “Hot Mess” in this case probably means “Awesome Lady I’d like to Meet!”

I don’t think there’s a rehab for this.

Basically, Ellen Barkin is one to watch. As we go along in this election season, I’d say put @ellenbarkin on your to do list. You know what I mean.
