Bar None From Anthem: Comedienne Roseanne Barr coyly joins husband Tom Arnold and talk-show host Sally Jessy Raphael in singing the National Anthem on Raphael’s syndicated TV show that will air from sea to shining sea today (2 p.m. on KCAL Channel 9). On the program, taped Monday in New York, Barr and Arnold try to set the record straight about Barr’s controversial rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” last week before a San Diego Padres baseball game. Arnold, referring to President Bush’s comment that Barr’s singing had been “disgraceful,” said, “I think the President should thank Roseanne. She took the spotlight off his new taxes and his son’s savings and loan scandal.”
