THOMPSON STATION, Tenn. (AP) — Former “Saturday Night Live” cast member Victoria Jackson has lost her bid as an independent candidate for a seat on a county commission in Tennessee.

Jackson, who calls herself a tea party conservative, moved to Thompson Station last year and said she filed as an independent to run for the Williamson County Commission because she’s “very disappointed with the Republican Party.”

The Tennessean (http://tnne.ws/1q001hp) reports Jackson received 632 votes. Two others received more votes: Judy Lynch Herbert with 1,422 and Betsy Hester with 1,380. The County Commission has two commissioners in each of its 12 districts.

Jackson had made appearances at multiple political events in Middle Tennessee since making her home there.

5. I used to think her RW craziness was an act

Some kind of massive years-long performance art thing but that is looking less and less likely.

Never thought I would think that Marsha had competition in that category.

Why in this world did this ignorant woman choose TN to share her particular brand of ignorance and questionable sanity?

I wanna make a difference. I want to help educate my fellow Americans on Common Core, Agenda 21, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the urgency of getting involved in the political process, putting integrity back into office and halting the encroaching communism. I just hate the campaigning part…the begging for money, the signs, the hand-shaking, etc. Got any thoughts?

10. Calling her stupid

12. Where's the fail? 632 votes! Her entire fan-base voted for her!

She must be overjoyed!

13. Entertainers rarely make good politicians

The public exposure somehow makes them think that people care what they think.
