Roseanne Barr’s candidacy for the Green Party’s presidential nomination is off to an auspicious start with her bid drawing a shout-out from the star of Nickelodeon’s hit show iCarly, Jennette McCurdy.

Shortly after the comedienne made headlines with her announcement, the young actress sent out a tweet of approval: “Just shouting out to Roseanne Barr.”

No word yet on Miranda Cosgrove‘s thoughts (there’s always the possibility of her voting for the husband of a recent guest star), but Barr’s foray into national politics has drawn raves elsewhere in the Twitterverse, with comedienne Kathy Griffin also expressing support:

Ex-husband actor Tom Arnold was not as amused:

McCurdy and Barr have never worked together before, but — according to the Oracle of Bacon — they are separated by one degree. McCurdy was in Hollywood Homicide with Keith David, who appeared in 1995′s Blue In The Face with Roseanne.

Reception for Barr’s bid wasn’t complete smooth sailing, as Deadline Hollywood’s Nellie Andreeva wondered if her current show would put her presidential bid in jeopardy:

For the time being, Barr’s presidential run does not pose a problem for NBC as the project, which she co-created and stars in, is in a pilot stage. But things will get dicier if NBC picks it up to series in May and Barr ends up as the Green Party presidential nominee as the campaign doesn’t wrap until the November election, well into the fall season, which starts in September. According to FCC’s equal-time rule, which applies to “all legally qualified candidates” who have “substantial showing” in the campaign, TV and radio stations are obligated to offer equivalent time to competing political candidates if one gets free airtime.

There’s an educated use of her vote if I ever saw one.What a great country we live in where you grow up in the information age and have all this knowledge at your fingertips, ”Wow I’m gonna vote for Roseanne for President. How cool is that!” What is this child on?

She just got free publicity with this endorsement for her show & for herself. Probably a brilliant move.

I hope all of the liberals in Hollywood support her. That would take votes away from Obama. Right on!!

That’s it. Barr just wrapped up the 9-14 year old vote.

I like Rosanne as a comedian. That said, my ears still hurt from the National Anthem fail she did a number of years ago.

Since when is a tweet saying “Just shouting out to Roseanne Barr” an endorsement of her as a presidential candidate?

What the hell is going on with iCarly? Last week the First Lady (gag me!) is on the show, and this week an endorsement for the unfunniest, bitchiest, fat person in entertainment.

Rosanne’s pretty funny. You’ve got to be the angriest Nickelodeon viewer around.

Well, I’m not Angry. And, I do watch iCarly with my kids.

Its when actors and actresses get funky with Politics, that I lose interest quickly in their work. Actually, to be fair, I don’t like the Liberal take on everything…So, I limit my interest in their work, when they want to become a messenger for the Democratic Party…

No anger. I can just shut off the tv. Or, walk away. the kids can watch what they want (within reason), which includes iCarly with the 1st lady.

I liked Rosanne’s sarcastic and acerbic wit, and still do, depending on the situation.

However, she’s been out of the spotlight for so long, she’s not really a player anymore.

But if Newt and Roseanne were to form a ticket! “Porky and Petunia 2012!”
