Either way you cut it, laughing at Victoria Jackson just feels.........cruel

I mean, I'd like to laugh at her, but I just feel a little dirty doing so.


Either:

A) She's mentally ill, in which case I feel horrible for laughing at someone who is mentally ill

or

B) She's pulling some ultimate Andy Kaufmann performance art, in which case that's just horrible on her part making fun of people who are actually mentally ill and I myself would feel horrible for laughing at it

The only remaining question is whether it is A or B.

She is just another right wing asshole. I refuse to laugh at her. I wouldn't give her the satisfaction.

i once liked her until i listed to her disgusting self deluded beliefs.

i'm glad she was sidelined on snl 40th. i have more respect for them now and lorne michael.

i'm also glad dennis miller was not there. i hope he was not invited as opposed to not being able to be there.

Being successful in Show Biz depends largely on finding your niche and exploiting it.

she's not that good of an actress.

She couldn't make it in show business and she chose the "left" as her scapegoat.

They think he is a Muslim, a sort of Manchurian candidate.

On Facebook communications, there are many in Eastern Kentucky that believe this. And there is no way to convince them otherwise...

I have tried...

a member of the United Church of CHRIST. Did you catch the part about CHRIST in the name of the church?

Many in Eastern Kentucky may believe this, many in the US believe this. Is it possible to be a radical Christian, Muslim, Nigerian, Kenyan, Hawaiian socialist?

When Jonathan Gruber talked about voter stupidity why exactly was he attacked?

She's obviously mentally ill.

While her hero Bush let terrorists destroy WTC, and Obama has kept us safe, she wants to compare?

What does she think is gonna happen even if she thought he was Muslim? He's been in office 6 years.

Even the gun nuts have stopped whining that "Obammer is gonna take are gunzzz!111!11!1!1"

She's just a poor, delusional woman, full of hatred for a religion she knows nothing about, trying to remain relevant in a world that rejects her.

Bless its little heart. I hope someday it gets some mental health care.
