so close



I think I've talked before about the fine line between satire and actually right-wing craziness. If Victoria Jackson doesnt demonstrate this perfectly, I dont know who will. Unfortunately, as nice as it would be to say that she's engaged in some sort of elaborate (and brilliant) satire, and despite her comedic background, this woman has been appearing on FOX and saying this kind of stupid shit for a while now, so she is apparently serious.

Which just goes to prove an even more important point: just because you're famous for one thing, doesnt mean you know shit about anything else.

New RW meme: Victoria Jackson is a plant. I'll say she certainly seems as smart as a vegetable, but a full-fledged plant is stretching it.

If she is a plant, and it's all an elaborate hoax on her part, it's been going on for a long time and it'll be the new standard in subversion.
I dont think it is, though, unless she's a lot more talented than anyone seems to think. Rather, I'd say this may explain why we havent seen much of her on the screen in a while - extreme stupidity is one thing to tolerate, tolerating extreme stupidity mixed with repulsive political thinking is another.

I'm sorry, that's too painful to watch. When even the Fox people are calling you out for calling the Pres communist, you know you've gone too far.
