Guess where Victoria Jackson is ending up.
Wingnut welfare at it's finest.

In a Nov. 19 WorldNetDaily article announcing that right-wing actress Victoria Jackson has become a regular WND columnist, WND editor Joseph Farah is quoted as saying, "Victoria is a hoot. ... But she also really cares about her country – I mean deep, down in her heart and soul."

But Jackson's presence as a WND columnist likely has more to do with the fact that she hates President Obama almost as much as Farah does. She has called for Obama's impeachment, and in a previous WND appearance, she described Obama as "a Marxist, progressive, leftist, radical, socialist, communist dictator drunk with power" who has put America "under seige."

1. I'm so disappointed about how she's turned out. Her fake commercial for extra finger remover
was one of my favorite SNL bits when I was a kid.

8. She's just the latest at WND.
The latest has-been from the entertainment industry to go far-right and end up at WingNutDaily...I mean World NetDaily.

Jackie Mason is there.
Pat Boone is there.
Chuck Norris is there.

You can see how bad it gets, here:

2. Is she being spit out of the bottom of the porn industry?
I guess her "dumb" girl act wasn't an act at all!

3. "she also really cares about her country" -- spell it, without a cheat sheet, Victoria.
And then she can be a writer.

7. Well, she's smarter than the average rightie; she left "fascist" out of that diatribe
Some part of me wonders if she isn't playing an elaborate and terrifying prank on the right. Sadly I know it's not to be.

9. My first impression was that she was deliberately doing an over-the-top parody
Edited on Mon Nov-22-10 02:52 AM by ConsAreLiars
and seeing how far she could go both in the opportunist sense of getting some revived fame and some money, and in caricaturing the insane RW jackasses who get treated so kindly by the corporate media and celebrated by the clueless dumbasses. After all, Oily Taints got worshiped by that crowd, and a frat boy chimp.

So she is playing them for the fools they are, or she is just as batshit crazy as they are. My money would be slightly on the former, just because having a sense of humor and being a dumbass are a rather rare combo. On the other hand, maybe she just got fed her lines on SNL.

11. Someone I know says she knew her for a while.
And says it is not an act.

Hearsay. :shrug:

12. I'll change my bet.
Mostly wishful thinking. Getting high status and then calling them dumbasses would be a nice coup. But some actors get hired because they have/portray the kind of character and personalty the script calls for. She could very well be one more in a long list of one-dimensional, chuckie norris type morons who passed some casting test.

Actually, probably, although I wish it was all a stunt. Seemed so over-the-top to me, but it was well within that spectrum.

14. OK, I'm convinced.
Sort of hard to be reminded that there are people as extremely ignorant and stupid as what I first saw as a cartoon caricature.

10. And she seemed so bright, when she played Weird Al's girlfriend in "UHF"
Such a shame, such a shame.
