Remember Victoria Jackson, from SNL?
She's now a fucking fundy Freeper-type. :crazy:

Already Barack Obama had drawn the attention of apocalypse watchers after an anonymous e-mail circulated among conservative Christians in October implying that he was the Antichrist. Former "Saturday Night Live" ingénue Victoria Jackson fueled the fire when, according to news reports, she wrote on her Web site that Obama "bears traits that resemble the anti-Christ."

1. She was a fundy on SNL. I guess she probably had to ask for forgiveness - ALOT
But yeah, the whacked-out ditz thing? Not much of an act, if you ask me.

3. She was so over the top that even Hannity was chuckling. Yikes.
If I didn't already know she was a wingnut, I would have thought this was performance art, but alas, she's just a wingnut, armed with the cold war-esque babble peddled my Hannity and the like.

4. Maybe it's a performance piece, like Andy Kaufman or Joaquin Phoenix
You know, maybe she's just acting like she imagines a dumb-ass reactionary shit-for-brains nutjob would act.

17. Yeah, he's got that pretentious, pompous hack routine down perfectly.
Wonder when he's going to ditch that act and show us he's actually not stupid and boring.

8. She's not joking
She's been spouting this babble for years. People think her ditzy blond airhead thing was just an act. It's not. She really is that stupid. Now for an intelligent female SNL alum, I'll take Julia Sweeney any day.

20. Thank God it looks like an act. It probably saves her from being called blockhead as she
walks down the street.

6. From her usual behavior I think she has suffered oxygen deprivation to her brain at least once in
her life...

7. I think a close female told her "boys don't like a girl that's TOO smart"
And she made a LIFESTYLE out of it.

10. On the old Bill Maher show she said something like if you allow
gay marriage then people would be fucking chickens or something to that effect. What a loser, oh I mean, what a looser!!

11. She was one of the worst SNL cast members ever.
And yes, I'm including Charles Rocket (RIP).

19. Charles Rocket Obit
October 18, 2005

Charles Rocket

Charles Claverie, a comedic actor who appeared on the big and small screens, committed suicide on Oct. 7. He was 56.

Born in Bangor, Maine, Claverie studied filmmaking at the Rhode Island School of Design. A love of the limelight and an electrifying presence on-camera helped him to break into broadcast journalism -- even though he had no media experience.

Claverie spent the 1970s working as a reporter for WPRI-Channel 12 in Rhode Island, as a weekend anchor for WTVF-Channel 5 in Nashville and as an anchor/weatherman for KOAA-Channel 5 in Colorado Springs, Colo. He also hosted "Super Show," a daily afternoon program that featured reruns of classic TV shows from the 1950s.

Claverie's big break came in 1980 when he joined the cast of the NBC show "Saturday Night Live." He appeared in numerous skits during the 1980-1981 season and provided news commentary on "Weekend Update." His trademark sign-off was: "I'm Charles Rocket. Good night and watch out."

While performing in a spoof of the famous "Who Shot JR?" plotline from the soap opera "Dallas," Claverie uttered the phrase, "I'd like to know who the fuck did it" on the air. When viewers complained about the use of profanity on the show, NBC apologized for the incident. Claverie was also terminated the following week, though he did appear in one last telecast.

(snip)

Claverie was found on Oct. 7 in a Canterbury, Conn., field. His throat was slit, and a knife was found next to the body. The state medical examiner determined the cause of death to be self-inflicted.

13. Tell me that's an act.
Is she saying those things to get attention for something or did someone drop her on her head? :crazy:

14. A 5 year old personality,
Edited on Tue Mar-10-09 04:00 AM by GoesTo11
She really demonstrates low intelligence - lack of critical thinking skills, lack of reflection.
Plus, she's like 50 years old now. Why is she still talking and dressing like a parody of a little girl? She looks and sounds like a clown, but in a pathetic way, not in a comedic way.

You could even see Hannity et al just laughing at her, not with her. They had her out there because they know she just acts like this and can't be different. I think at SNL, they must have just said "OK, we have this crazy cute blond (it was somewhat cute when she was younger) and we'll just let her say what she really thinks and improvise around it."

Sad.

15. Yeah, it actually wasn't an act. She was this weird fluke. Apparently she wasn't
really a comedian, but a well-directed weirdo nutbag.
