Victoria Jackson goes completely off the deep end...

First off, who would be stupid enough to put her on a show?
Oh, Bill O'Reilly. Figures.

Second, what word comes to mind when you see this picture of Jackson?
Only one for me: "Ditz."
And Victoria Jackson EARNS the title.



Jackson told O’Reilly she wasn’t political when she worked on SNL, but her Christian faith got some mean comments “’cause they kind of hated God.” She said she was educated by a conservative group a few years ago about how “socialist” Hillary Clinton was being challenged by “communist” Barack Obama in the presidential election. She said the communists would never take over the U.S. by force thanks to the Second Amendment, but they’re already corrupting the country through a “sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll morality.”

“I’m gonna die soon, because the first thing they do is they kill the Christians or persecute them or jail them.”

Because no one can really be that stupid without being mentally retarded or something. It's not easy to get on SNL, it really isn't. You have to be able to write and perform to even have a hope of making the cast so she's not a moron. It takes above average creative intelligence at the very least to write stand up, even bad stand up. I keep thinking this has to be some kind of bizarre social experiment or the like. Either that or she's brain damaged.

I'm pretty sure it is an act. She clearly doesn't care about what she is saying or doing and is in it for the attention. But it is impossible to know where the act ends and the true Victoria Jackson begins. I imagine that she doesn't mind one way or another on that account.

I remember long, long time ago watching an interview with her and she spoke with a normal voice, not that nasal-little-girl voice she seems to use all the time now.

And her looks...those gigantic bows and stuff on her hair...it's just too much,,too much, like a parody of herself.

She wouldn't get a lot of attention if she was on the left, but there are so few tea party celebrities that they will get anyone they can.

I would love for this to be an act. I liked her on SNL. Toonces, and her little songs. Hard to think she really is this pathetic, sorry excuse of a woman

Grayson Perry:



Grayson Perry CBE (born 24 March 1960) is an English artist, known mainly for his ceramic vases and cross-dressing. Perry's vases have classical forms and are decorated in bright colours, depicting subjects at odds with their attractive appearance. There is a strong autobiographical element in his work, in which images of Perry as "Claire", his female alter-ego, often appear. He was awarded the Turner Prize in 2003.
