The original of this commentary incorrectly confuses the characters of Roseanne Roseannadanna with Emily Litella.
Gilda (as Emily) would be a guest on the Weekend Update segment of Saturday Night Live!, and she'd rant on and on, spouting her complaints about some social ill. Eventually, Jane Curtain would have to forcefully interrupt her, and present some basic fact.
It may be bittersweet, but it's sweet vindication nonetheless, now that the Manhattan district attorney's office is seeking to reverse their convictions.

  Emily Litella - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Emily Litella was an elderly woman with a hearing problem seen on the op-ed Weekend Update segment in the late 1970s.
Dressed in a simple dress and a sweater, "Miss Emily Litella" was introduced with professional dignity by the news anchors, who could sometimes be seen cringing slightly in anticipation of the faux pas which they knew would be inevitable as their "guest" would launch into tirades on various topics.
Radner's character peered through her bifocals and read a prepared letter addressing some public issue, becoming increasingly agitated as her statement progressed, only to discover in the middle of her report that she had gotten the theme of her story wrong.

That's because Emily would sit on top of the television, and lean over to bat at the moving images.Even though she is getting on in cat-years, and is showing signs of being deaf, she can easily jump up onto my desk, and always comes running at the rattle of the cat treats box.
She always has a purr for me, is usually waiting inside the door when I come home, and I love her dearly.She's still the cat love of my life, even though she's a little slower.

Hmmm...you could be just doing a Litella back at me, but I sense a kernel of sincerity in that, so at the risk of confirming my humor detecector is not properly calibrated, I'll answer seriously.
Your take on Janet's question, which seemed like a reasonable interpretation to me, was very different from my own, and since I'd sort of gone at at length (as I'm wont to do), the Litella line seemed to fit as a self-deprecating joke about maybe missing the real point.

Litella's name rings a bell, she was the grumpy old editorial-reply lady played by the late Gilda Radner in the early days of "Saturday Night Live."
Litella would launch into a tirade over her some outrage that she inevitably had not heard quite right - like "canker research," "violins on television," "presidential erections," saving "Soviet jewelry," saving "endangered feces," "ending the deaf penalty," "busting school children," passing the "eagles rights amendment," and granting "steak-hood for Puerto Rico."

The late comic Gilda Radner, in character as news commentator Emily Litella on the Saturday Night Live television program in the late 1970s, engaged in weekly misguided rants based on misunderstandings.
Consider the historical account of the evolution of transportation in the 20th century that observed, "by the 1930s, automobiles were on the rise." Emily Litella would have been startled to learn that levitation was possible that long ago.

 Jewish Women in Comedy—Gilda Radner
Known to television audiences as bumbling Emily Litella, scatterbrained Roseanne Roseannadanna, and nerdy Lisa Loopner, comedian Gilda Radner shot to stardom on NBC's Saturday Night Live (SNL).
Hailed by critics as the next Lucille Ball, Radner's success in television in the 1970s led to a brief film career, tragically cut short by cancer at age forty-two.
Radner became attached instead to her governess, "Dibby" (Elizabeth Clementine Gillies), the model for her SNL character Emily Litella.
