Victoria Jackson of 'SNL' fame says she is fighting for the 'soul of America'

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

THOMPSON’S STATION — When a Muslim, Daoud Abudiab, moved in near Victoria Jackson’s suburban neighborhood, she responded with a post on her website titled, “Civilization Jihad, Hits Home (my back yard, literally).”

It’s one of several anti-Islamic entries on the former “Saturday Night Live” star’s site. Abudiab said, “She has friends who support her in making Williamson County a scary place to live for some of us.”

Jackson, for her part, feels right at home here — maybe more than she did in the New York limelight. She has applied her familiar high-pitched voice to a combative brand of politics, which she hopes will take her to a seat on the County Commission this summer.

The physical reflects the ugliness of the mental in this case. She's a living, reverse Dorian Gray.

Back when I used to watch the show and she was on it, I could never understand why she was in the cast.

There have been some lame cast members on SNL over the years, but there always seemed to be at least some comedic talent in them or some understanding of acting. They were just in over their head or TV sketch comedy wasn't their thing.

With Jackson, though, I never saw the slightest bit of comedic talent. Not even a sliver. The best thing I remember her doing is her sitting in a car while a cat drove her and Steve Martin off a cliff. There could just as easily have been a sack of dirty laundry sitting where she was and the skit would've basically been the same.

I wonder if that comically large bow she wears in her haystack doubles as an antenna so that she can communicate with her home planet.

She knows she’s been “very successful at playing ditzy” and hopes people will not see her as a buffoon.


good luck with that.

shredding Jackson's looks. Let me just post this, as a reminder of what wonders can be done with unflattering angles, and photoshop, etc:



See how attractive those Republican women are, and how ugly the Democrats are?

But really, why are we discussing what Jackson looks like? If she was gorgeous by societal standards, she'd still be a whackjob. So why do her looks matter? Can we ever have a conversation about what some woman says without measuring it against her looks?

to the article. Most of the comments, at least 85% of them, are from people that hate her and called her out on her craziness and bigotry. That's the way we should respond to a lot of these nuts out there.
