Tennessee again: Former SNL star Victoria Jackson may run for Williamson County Commission

[spanone]

just when i think my state is completely full of stupid......



THOMPSON’S STATION — Former “Saturday Night Live” cast member Victoria Jackson wants her next act to be as a Williamson County Commissioner.

Jackson, who moved to Thompson’s Station last year, is petitioning as an independent to become a candidate for one of two District 2 commission seats, currently held by commissioners Betsy Hester and John Hancock.

In recent years, Jackson has made a name for herself as an active Tea Party participant, conservative activist, outspoken opponent of President Barack Obama, and occasional Fox News contributor. Now, she wants to get directly involved at the local level."

I think the key to saving America is normal everyday citizens getting involved because we the people are supposed to be in control, not the government," Jackson said. "I had a political awakening in 2007. I’m tired of complaining. I want to do something."

1. Sure, why not. Can't get any weirder there.

Had no idea that ditz lived in TN.

[benddem]

2. maybe this will keep her off

national TV radio and I don't ever have to hear from her again! I hope.

[Sissyk]

3. Oh, good grief!

The ones we have are bad enough.

[spanone]

4. it's just 20 miles down the road from me........

yikes....thankfully, i'm in a different county

[Sissyk]

6. I'm in Franklin.

Smack dab right there. lol!

You must be in Nashvillle? Belle Meade?

[spanone]

8. forrest hills.....yep. she could get elected in williamson co.!!!!!

[Sissyk]

9. Ah, cool. We did a few construction jobs there.

Read what I just told HBS. Yeah, it could happen.

[spanone]

10. you don't deserve her AND marsha blackburn.....jeeebus

[Sissyk]

11. How terrible would that be.

I will say though that AT LEAST Marsha listens to all of us, even us democrats. She doesn't follow through most times unless it's republican ideas, but she does listen. It's hard to find a democrat to run against her in this part of the woods.

Nice to meet you, neighbor!

[Hassin Bin Sober]

5. Is this where she un-masks and admits it was all performance art?

I keep waiting.

[Sissyk]

7. Yeah, I sure hope so.

Some of these star struck yahoos around here might just vote her in.

[hrmjustin]

12. I am so sorry!

[lpbk2713]

13. Jackson is certifiable.

Good luck to the citizens of Williamson County if Victoria's victorious.

[AsahinaKimi]

14. It was bound to happen....

She became more political and radical over the years... rabid right winger. She just might be elected, and whoosh...there goes Williamson County...

[Boudica the Lyoness]

15. She should run for president.

She's wasting herself on anything else.

This dip shit is the GOP.
