wow Victoria Jackson is a moron

Former 'Saturday Night Live' cast member Victoria Jackson recently voiced her outrage over the same-sex kiss between Chris Colfer and Darren Criss on 'Glee,' and it seems she's not slowing down her anti-tolerance crusade any time soon.

Jackson appeared on 'Showbiz Tonight' to defend her argument against the portrayal of gay relationships in the media.

"I'm really concerned about our country because immorality is, well, let's see: Secular humanism rules the airwaves, and it's stealing the innocence away from this whole generation of children. My daughter is a teenager, and I cant find any show that she can watch," said the former 'Celebrity Fit Club' star.

In a follow-up to her statement that Muslim-Americans are "plotting our demise," Jackson questioned the "agenda" of media that promotes equality for all individuals, regardless of background. "I just want to know why the liberals are pro-Muslim and pro-gay," she said. "Muslims kill gays. That's what's confusing to me. And the only thing I can come up with is the Muslims hate God and the gays hate his word."

Despite calling the kiss between Colfer and Criss "sickening" in her latest post for conservative website World Net Daily, Jackson brushed off accusations that she is homophobic. "That's a cute little buzzword of the liberal agenda. Basically, the Bible says that homosexuality is a sin," said Jackson, although she later backtracked, saying, "I have gay friends, and we love each other."

When asked whether or not she thought there was any credibility to the argument that 'Glee's' portrayal of loving homosexual relationships might help kids who are struggling to be accepted, Jackson responded, "It's not helping. They should have a celibacy campaign and tell kids that 50 percent of teenagers now have this new STD from oral sex. That's what they should try to be doing instead of trying to make kids gay."

She continued, "This culture is affecting our children and making them run away from Jesus Christ. God can't bless this nation if we are spitting in his face."

this is the oldest of old news

she has been a stupid insane person since, well... forever

yeah, I knew she was a nut, but I guess I managed to ignore her for the last few decades

I do think it's funny that the right is so desperate for celebrity that a) she passes and b) they're comfortable with her as their voice/face.

her teenage daughter is gonna have some THERAPY BILLS

"I have gay friends, and we love each other."

Using the royal 'we' I assume.

i'd probably have deep reservoirs of bitterness too if i was her and had to watch the comparative success nora dunn and jan hooks had post-snl.

My daughter is a teenager, and I cant find any show that she can watch," said the former 'Celebrity Fit Club' star.

best line

"I have gay friends, and they sicken me."

as a kid I was fascinated by her, because she was so hard to read -- hovering in this space that seemed mostly like a clever put-on but was too weird to entirely be that -- and it seemed more captivating than the other things on TV, which at that point were rarely difficult to understand. since then it has been both disappointing and fascinating to learn that (a) she's resentful about the roles and type she played, and was not in control of them, and (b) she seems horrible and mean and not clever at all.

In 2010 Jackson wrote in an article in that she did not learn how to vote until the 2000 United States Presidential Election.[7]

This bums me out.

Can you do "Saturday Night Live" and be a conservative Christian? Seems to me some of the humor is a little adult. Or has she repented? Has she also repented from being funny?

Has she also repented about calorie restriction?

you should watch Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip

come on, no one should watch Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip

see also: dennis miller (okay, not nec. christian, but...)

xp hey, i thought that show was flawed but good

Dennis Miller had a completely different philosophy during his SNL years. It was only after 9/11 that he turned into a righty nut.

And I still think that's largely because he sees money in it.

wondering when 30 rock will get around to parodying her.

I really don't think she's enough of a concern for them to bother.

I always get her mixed up with the secretary from Twin Peaks

me too!

I always get her confused with a hooting chimp

!! I never consciously thought about it, but me too!

lol xp

aw

I'm just going to pretend that isn't an xp

omg me too DJP!!!!! xxpost :)

I wouldn't be surprised if a few writers had her in mind during the "TGS Hates Women" episode from a few weeks ago.

there's this actress i used to work with who was afflicted with this double dose of lagging career and an almost frighteningly vitriolic hatred of liberal beliefs and she tended to blame the former on the latter, which is something she seems to share in part w/VJ and maybe janine turner as well.

http://weblogs.cw11.com/news/local/morningnews/blogs/piggy0212.jpg

janine turner is such a weird case

I do notice a correlation between bitter has-beens and conservative beliefs.

what happened to Janine Turner? I haven't paid attention...

She's as much as crackpot now as Victoria Jackson.

love that man.

That's a career-killing essay if I ever read one.

isn't whatshisface from northern exposure also a rightwingnut now too? the deejay hunk. liked him on parenthood recently so i tried to ignore that i knew this. or maybe i have him confused with someone else.

John Corbett? Seems like I've heard he is. Maybe he's just trying to woo Janine Turner.

for some reason i don't have a problem watching the middle with everyone loves raymond mom. she is also "one of them".

well in fairness, unlike everyone else we're talking about she is actually funny, which makes it easier to watch her

(John Corbett not being a comedian; he has been decent in everything I've seen him in)

Ugh, looking up info on John Corbett, I found out Bo Derek is one of 'em too.

Patricia Heaton seems more churchy than conservative, which I realize isn't much of a difference.

there's a thread somewhere where we assessed john corbett's conservatism! like his album covers and everything

or maybe i'm misremembering, idk

he's on this celebrity born again christian list. don't know how accurate it is though:

http://www.nndb.com/lists/028/000085770/

The actual quote is great:

Writer and performer Al Franken, now a Democratic U.S. senator for Minnesota, cornered her once, Victoria says. He said he was "offended" by her "ditsy" act. "Maybe I'm overcompensating," she retorted, "because everybody here is dying and going to Hell, and I'm supposed to tell them about Jesus."

Franken went white, she says. "He never talked to me again."

wow that was incredibly strange and sad

coming from her tho, i'm wondering how much is true and how much happened inside her head.

Truthfully, it was probably things more and less dumb than Jesus-isms

i just read that piece and i'm getting more and more convinced this is some ne plus ultra Kaufmanesque shit
because she is really amazing

she is sad and crazy but that article read in part like a hit job -- kind of undeservedly nasty sideswipes at her parents, etc.

I love how she complains about living in Miami, as if there's anywhere else in the country a person like her could thrive.

she made me laugh in the 80s, so i can ignore this nasty thread yall http://i.imgur.com/zi7hd.gif

So did Dennis Miller, and he's a dick now

fuck the 80s

her roseanne impression was funny.

Dennis Miller was never funny.

At least VJ and a lefty like Janeane Garofalo can agree that Al Franken is a supreme dick.

You recall the theory that high school girls prefer their girlfriends to be less pretty than themselves, so as to look prettier themselves when standing together? Well, Al Franken has found his own "supreme dick" version of that by becoming a U.S. Senator.

What is Janeane Garofalo's beef w/ Franken?

easily found

basically all SNL male bigshots = dismissive of women on the show

I did some Googling and found nada.

GO TO THE LIBRARY, YOU MONSTER

the SNL oral history book is pretty enlightening, tho garofalo doesn't come off so well either.

actually few ppl come off well, apart from phil hartman.

basically all SNL male bigshots = dismissive of women on the show

IIRC, in the Shales book, Garofalo confirmed a version of this. However, the names named where her costars (Sandler, Farley, Schneider etc.) and the writers paying more attention to creating material for them instead of her.

(x-post)

Another book -- might've been the Shales -- mentioned that in the 70s (and possibly into the 80s) each male cast member had his own dressing room, while all of the female cast members had to share one.

Oh no fucking way

I did a searched of the e-book and didn't find JG criticizing Franken by name.

Anyway, Dr M, you're bad at:

- reading
- retaliatory zinging
- life

But pretty good at tattling on me far and wide for calling you hurtful names.

not surprised at all, notoriously sexist boy's club and all that (which pretty much lasted up until the Fey/Poehler/Rudolph era)

xp

by "easily found" I meant for you to go off looking til you fucking die

get a room guys

"I said you fucking die"

christ guys, get a room

yeah Franken the Senator >>> Franken the comedian

It means Morbius enjoys rye bread.

This doesn't say where she's moving from, but wherever it is, you owe us:

Florida, so blame Alfred.

She wrote: “I disappeared for awhile because my family just moved to TN!! I love it so much! Smack dab in the buckle of the Bible belt. I'm gonna fight the Murfreesboro Mosque and Agenda 21 because I love this land, God's country. One of my neighbors keeps his horse in his front yard! I love that! I saw a cardinal, a bunny, a bird's nest and a calf in the middle of the highway. I'm in heaven!”

Though I thought this was more telling:

When asked for contact information for Jackson or for the person who handles her media inquiries, Bob Grabow said he didn't have that memorized and hung up. He later emailed the number of another agency, which didn't immediately return a voicemail.

Tennessee is so beautiful that it is a place I have thought about movie, but now...Victoria Jackson.

I'm gonna fight the Murfreesboro Mosque and Agenda 21 because I love this land, God's country.

she's such a dumb fucking turd.

You probably think freedom is a dumb fucking turd, too.

freedom is Victoria Jackson's dog's name

murfreesboro is not a good place to live but it has nothing to do with the mosque. tennessee is super beautiful. she's not helping.

there's a decent local brewer in Murfreesboro and my SIL lives there

and thus ends my list of things I like about Murfreesboro

If I do end up moving down south (something I have been thinking about for health reasons), it's not going to be Murfreesboro.

the only thing i miss about murfreesboro is Kleer-Vu Lunchroom which is probably in my top three favorite restaurants all time

Every time I go to Murfreesboro, something bad happens. My car has been rear ended, my wallet has been stolen, I've gotten food poisoning. Just last month, the bank put a stop on my check card because of "suspicious activity," never mind the fact I'd been in Nashville all weekend spending just like I usually do. They must know how I feel about Murfreesboro.

Murfreesboro is the place where everybody who ends up making country music in Nashville goes to college, right?

MTSU casts a pretty wide net, but you're partly right. (Belmont, in Nashville itself, would be the other big candidate.)

I lived in Murfreesboro for about a year in the early 90's. I guess it was OK?

While she wouldn’t repeat “goddamn,” Jackson did belt the N-word multiple times throughout a “story time” performancehttps://t.co/HzkRzxCFHa
