Need a laugh? Victoria Jackson discusses gay marriage with Michaelangelo Signorile

[redqueen]

I got a few chuckles, anyway...

"I’m here to save America from communism,” the former "Saturday Night Live" cast member and Tea Party activist Victoria Jackson said at the Conservative Political Action Conference last weekend in Washington. As she walked the corridors she was treated like a rock star by CPAC attendees who raised their fists to her, shook her hand and thanked her for her far-Right political activism.

"The people of California voted that they did not believe that gay marriage -- no gay marriage," she explained to HuffPost Gay Voices. "They voted that. A judge, probably gay, activist judge, overturned that. That’s what I’m talking about -- communism."

She explained further that it could lead to living in pods. "Do you know what the housing is going to be like when we all live in a pod?" she asked. "And we all take public transit? It's going to be Russia. It's going to be Cuba."

As CPAC attendees who passed by expressed their gratitude to her for, as one described it, "speaking the truth," Jackson offered her thoughts on Barack Obama: "This president was raised marxist. His parents, his grandparents, his college professors, his whole life, he’s been immersed in marxism, even his church. Jeremiah Wright did not preach Christianity. He preached black liberation theology, which is marxism disguised as religion."

1. Quick people gather up the marbles so she can put them back in that empty head.

[Liberal Veteran]

3. Return to your pod at once.

[southernyankeebelle]

14. What the heck was she talking about with pods?

[Sheepshank]

29. Tell that to those already living in tracts, McMansions and cookiecutter homes...

Pods she says? Pods have been around for a while? How many do you suppose are a result of conservative imaginations?

30. Little boxes on the hillside, Little boxes made of ticky tacky

Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

5. If I didn't know better

I'd think she was still doing comedy.

Better than ever before, even.

[peace frog]

9. Considering how lame she was in her SNL daze

I'm thinking her current comedy act is unscripted. Hilarious, but totally unintended.

[redqueen]

11. It would be nice though...

if it turned out that her comedic talents had simply blossomed since her SNL days, and she'd simply been cashing in on these idiots for engagement fees.

[peace frog]

15. You're being far too generous

but of course, payday is a powerful incentive so who knows. But I doubt it.

[southernyankeebelle]

13. Funny, she isn't a sick little puppy.

[KamaAina]

32. She'd be a nice foil for Colbert

if only...

[Liberal Veteran]

2. I don't remember the gay activist judge chapter from Karl Marx.

Of course, I was in the 8th grade when I read the Communist Manifesto, so I may have forgotten some details.

[pinto]

4. Got it. Gays are pod living, public transit using, communist devotees of the Church of Marx.

My head hurts...

[dballance]

6. She's Behind. Communism was the '50s Boogey Man

I'm really trying to think of what the single rallying issue is she and the GOP are supposed to get behind right now. I guess it's those awful gays coming to recruit your children. But that's loosing a lot of steam these days.

The evil bankers are pretty ripe to be a target. But, of course, they are the rich Teflon guys so that won't happen outside OWS.

It is really laughable that someone is running around yelling "communism" in 2011 after the fall of the wall and the break up of the USSR.

[The Doctor.]

7. I'm starting to suspect she's been playing a bimbo character this whole time.

Even Palin couldn't be this stupid.

[virtualobserver]

12. I don't know.....I never realized that she was actually playing it straight on SNL

We were actually laughing at her mental deficiencies and didn't realize it.

[Politicalboi]

8. Is there a pod

Big enough for her head?

[drm604]

10. They must have been doing some powerful and persistent drugs back on the old SNL.

[lunatica]

28. She wasn't in the early SNL

The one that had Gilda Radner and Dan Aykroid and Chevy Chase and also Steve Martin as a frequent guest and Father Sarducci. Those were the best SNL shows. Ms Jackson is a far cry from them. She was in SNL when it became mediocre.

[drm604]

31. True,

but relatively speaking, she was on long enough ago that it could also be considered "old".

I agree completely that the original - Radner, Akroyd, Chase, Morris, Belushi (how could you forget Belushi!) - was the best and has never been topped or even equaled. (Although Eddie Murphy does deserve an honorable mention.)

[lunatica]

33. My God! I did forget Belushi

My bad, bad, bad!!

I loved Belushi and his samurai and cheeseburger line cook!

I posted hurriedly. My abject, groveling apologies to Belushi!

[drm604]

34. You are forgiven

[emmadoggy]

16. Wha?.....

I think Victoria Jackson may be a pod person. Can we put her back in her pod and launch her back to wherever it is she came from (a la Mork)??

[Initech]

17. Do they even know what communism and marxism are?

[Liberal Veteran]

18. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say....no.

It is just word salad to them.

Sorta like a child trying to curse without knowing what the words mean. "You are an ass damn shit, cockhole!"

[Initech]

24. I swear anything the right doesn't understand becomes their enemy no. 1.

[redqueen]

20. " Newt Gingrich and Mitt are socialists. "

I'm gonna say... no.

[The Doctor.]

19. We'll be living in pods. With Newt.

On the moon!

[tanyev]

21. Gay activist judges = communism. Ooooooookay.

[racaulk]

22. She is truly an imbecile.

And would someone PLEASE tell her to stop wearing a fucking bow in her hair? It might be cute when you're 6, but not when you're 52. FFS.

[The Genealogist]

23. Good lord, Tailgunner Joe seems sane next to Hairbow Vicky

First teh gay, the public transportation, and before ya know it, pod living like Cuba and Russia. Good grief Gert.

[trumad]

25. From a HuffPo commentator...

"I've said it before and I'll say it again. It's a tragedy when someone typecast as an airhead becomes one in real life".

[LiberalFighter]

26. Why is gay marriage an issue to her if nothing is married to her?

[redqueen]

27. She's a conservative.

I guess you haven't noticed, but most of them seem to be preoccupied with it.
