That's former SNL cast member Victoria Jackson. In the late 90's, Jackson was the show's resident "Dumb Blonde," much like Goldie Hawn was on "Laugh-In." She was often funny and occasionally hilarious (as in this sketch, "Victoria's Secrets"). She was a cast member during some of SNL's better years, along with the brilliant (and sorely missed) Phil Hartman.
Of course, no one knew at the time that she was certifiably insane...
What makes me say that, you may well ask. Well, let's take a look at some of Victoria's recent activities, shall we?
Among some of the rather inane claims she's made of late: President "Obama is a Communist." Yup, she actually said that. Here's proof:
And that's not the only time she's said that. She actually wrote a 'song' about it:
Now, I always thought she was just playing a character on SNL (just like Goldie did on "Laugh-In"). I thought, "No one can really be that stupid, can they?" Apparently, I was wrong. Because Victoria Jackson is really that stupid, as evidenced by her latest song about Muslims (via):
What!? What!? Really? Muslims want to take down the Statue of Liberty? I... I really don't know how to respond to such idiocy. To make matters worse, Jackson recently wrote an article for the wingnut website WorldNetDaily where she shared this homophobic bit of 'wisdom,' and I am quoting verbatim:
"Did you see 'Glee' this week? Sickening! And, besides shoving the gay thing down our throats, they made a mockery of Christians – again! I wonder what their agenda is? Hey, producers of 'Glee' – what's your agenda? One-way tolerance?"
Yes, I deliberately made that quote pink.
I do have a question, though... Victoria, if you find "Glee" so offensive, why are you watching it? Maybe your 'cop' husband finds all the girl-on-girl kissing on "Glee" titillating? You certainly don't seem to have a problem with that. Hmmm... maybe there's a reason you haven't been part of the real Entertainment Industry since you left (or rather, were dumped by) SNL. I suppose your firing had nothing nothing at all to do with your right-wing, lunatic views...
If Ms Jackson (as do many conservative Christians) has a problem with gay people, there's nothing you or I can do or say to make her think otherwise. All we can do is point out what an imbecile she is and hope that intelligent folks (i.e. anyone who doesn't watch Fox News) know better than to listen to a has-been comedienne who is desperately trying to make herself relevant by aligning herself with the Teaparty morons who think they can impose antiquated views of society on smarter people than themselves.
Look, I'm not saying that everyone has to share my beliefs or opinions, but I am saying that celebrities (relevant or not), have a responsibility to educate themselves before making inane statements and passing judgment on things about which they have no real information. And trust me, Fox News is not real information.
More, anon.

BRAVO Brian! I'm sick of ill informed has been celebrities trading on controversial and important issues to try to get attention and press time. People are entitled to their own personal beliefs in this country and should always be allowed to express them, but only after educating themselves regarding the topic. So...Victoria is an imbecile as you say and let's hope she gets the attention she deserves...NONE!
A few years back, I stumbled upon Vicky appearing on one of those holy roller shows. She had her guitar and was singing a song about people who did not believe in Jesus. It was surreal to say the least, and for a split second, I thought it was a comedy skit...sadly, it was not.
as if EVERYTHING she says is AWFUL, i HATE the way she SAYS IT!!!! UGH, HER BABY VOICE! hear, hear, she's such an idiot. in the end, i just feel bad for her. pity the fool...
Amazing, really. I worked with Miss Jackson in I LOVE YOU TO DEATH. I can attest that fact that she is bat shit crazy, & not in the fun way she presented on SNL.
