Go Home


(h/t The Political Carnival)

This is your brain. And this is your brain on Glenn Beck.

Victoria Jackson employs so few braincells I'm actually amazed that she can navigate the greater New York state highway system to make it down to the Occupy Wall Street. I'm guessing that Jackson thought that she could pull a "gotcha" and catch a few DFH smoking their joints and banging on their bongos and convince them to accept Christ in their life and go Republican.

But Jackson has been outsourcing all her thinking to the GB Network for so long that she came completely unarmed for this battle of wits. She found a few outrageous players that look for camera time that you see at any protest, no doubt infusing her with false confidence. But when she actually interviewed some participants, she found that not only were they intelligent and well-spoken, but like Kryptonite to conservatives, armed with facts. They refused to take her bait of degenerating this down to a partisan quibble, they pointed out that they were focused on systemic failures (oops...too many syllables for Victoria?) and they basically left her looking even more pathetic.

But that's not hard, is it?

I am starting to wonder just how much of Jackson's persona is her own, or whether she's kind of a much less obvious Colbert. The key is the production quality of the video, and the full answers she permits of the people she's allegedly aligned against.

goatsage's picture

She does seem to be a parody of all things kooky-right wing. On SNL she often played a character so dumb you could see daylight through her ears. Do the righties actually embrace this idiot?

Bright guy, articulate speaker, cogent arguments, lots of facts, historical perspective -- he blew Victoria Jackson's stupid questions away, and was especially amusing when he asked her, "What would Jesus do?" when she asked one of her GOP keep-the-wealth questions. Jeez, Mr. UofMd., I would vote for YOU if YOU were running for public office. Who are you?

This numb skull of a woman is incredibly stupid. She goes around the country blaming liberals in general and Obama in particular for the fact that her "career" turned to shit. Couldn't be a lack of talent by any chance could it? The woman is what? Fifty? And she sounds like my sister's five year old grand daughter. Good God. Except that my sister's grand daughter is more intelligent.

I ff'ed to the 4 minute mark and that doOd had her nailed. I find it hard to believe she felt that this interview was somehow making her case. Had to stop about a minute later, as her vacuous stupidity was just too much.

I remember watching her act at the Variety Arts building before she was discovered by Johnny Carson's team. Who knew that it wasn't an act?

She spouts off every insane right-wing conspiracy theory known to the right in under 12 minutes -- it's amazing. Everything from "class warfare" to Sal Alinsky. Un-f*cking-believable. It's like watching Republican gonzo pornography.

And in that soul-scratching, whiny voice that I once thought was just a character she played on SNL, so there's a sadistic undertone to it all, too.

Wow.

cynical debergerac's picture

After the 1980 election, they fired Harry Shearer, who did a dead-on impression of Reagan. Then they hired the likes of Dennis Miller and Victoria Jackson, both of whom seem ignorant of the concept that satire is supposed to make fun of the powerful, not the downtrodden. At the time, our local PBS station was showing Dr. Who at the same time. So I switched. The latter was more intellectually challenging.

GeorgetheMaleAmazon's picture

I used to watch SNL when I was younger, and it rocked back then. Since then, not so much.

There is a word which Dennis Miller used many times on his HBO program, and in his stand-up act, but I won't call him that, except to say that he's not good enough to do that to his mother - or any other mother, for that matter.

As for Victoria Jackson, she is such an awful person, not just by her attitude in favor of the right-wingers in this country, but her attitude toward those protesters. If she actually believe in her form of Christianity, which she apparently does, she's in for a big surprise when she finds herself in Hell.

Finally, I am also one for Doctor Who, particularly the "Classic" episodes from all those years ago, particularly those featuring Tom Baker, as well as Jon Pertwee and Peter Davison.

Appearing in summer stock in Alabama led to a chance meeting with Johnny Crawford (of the 1950s television series, The Rifleman), who cast her in his night club act.

Hm

Isn't that supposed to be the Mayan Crapture Day?

Way to be racist, dude!

The whole idea of the Mayan 2012 predictions being some kind of "apocalypse" has NOTHING - I repeat, NOTHING - to do with what the Mayans actually said. Because Christianity is so hypnotised and mired in its silly end-of-the-world hysterias, native cultures have been interpreted as containing the same scenarios, just dressed up in beads and feathers.

But the Mayans weren't talking about anything ending. Their world view is about the world changing. Well, isn't it changing? That new-age stuff on that website may sound silly, but it's a far more accurate image than all the idiotic Hollywood disaster-movie bullshit.

Just ask any of the Mayans. (And yes, they are still around.) When that dipshit movie came out, the elders in Mexico were besieged with Americans wanting their "ancient wisdom". Their response? In a nutshell, they said, "We wish all you gringos would stick to your own religion and leave our traditions alone, thanks very much." In other words - piss off, you morons.


There's always free cheddar in the mousetrap, baby. - Tom Waits

Taarak's picture

As I understand it, the Mayans had many, many calendars. Only one of them happens to end in December of next year. Like our calendar, this doesn't mean the world will come to an end, only that the calendar cycles. It's a long cycle, but we actually use a longer one without knowing it: the Zodiac Ages each last 2150 years (or something close. There were originally 13 ages, but now there are only 12). That's a long time too.

Yeah, a lot of people are combining the Christian traditions of apocalypse and “end of days” with other ancient beliefs and traditions – and getting really confused.

It’s fun to pretend and conjecture, but rationally, it’s all very silly.

fastfeat's picture

No intent to impugn Mayans. I was just trying (granted, w/o researching it) to separate the date from the other dates that came and went without global collapse. That being said, isn't that date one that some of the Crapture believers are betting on finishing maxing out their credit cards before being called back?

that the Mayan 2012 December 22 date means only one thing.

She's a parody. Maybe not intentionally, but she is nonetheless. Instead of zeroing in on the obvious crazies and socialists, she interviewed reasonable people who support capitalism, just with some checks and balances (At times, I find it a little hard to believe that wasn't intentional, though).

As a result, I think supporters of OWS should appreciate what she's done, whether it's intentional or not.

It is hard to believe that she or anyone else would consider this video useful in discrediting OWS, but I try to keep in mind that many people will do as she is doing – respond with thoughtless catch phrases and not bother to listen to rational argument. Still, I give her credit for allowing him to speak and posting his comments online. It's dialogue of a sort. Thanks, Victoria!

Animeraider's picture

I met Ms. Jackson back in the 1980s and she struck me at the time as thoughtful and witty, like a female Dennis Miller of the same era. I think one of two things has happened. One is that 9/11 so completely floored her that her moral compass got knocked out of whack (which you can see in Dennis Miller). However, I don't think this is the case. I think it is more likely that this is actually a lengthy performance piece - to see how long she can fuck with the right-wing blogosphere.

Note that she continuously inserts herself into the dialogue, no matter how silly she comes across. Notice that every statement that she makes she tries to get people to either agree or disagree with her. The more outlandish she gets, the more she pushes it.

Ms. Jackson is a decent actress and a decent commedienne - and I think you need to remember that she hung out with Pee-Wee Herman and Weird Al and their crowd a long time before SNL. She's was (and I think still is) an alternative comic and gifted at parody - and we're watching her perform.

Because nobody could be like this in reality and still be able to feed themselves.

conservatoire's picture

...but she's given no indication that this is all an act. At least Kaufman finally came clean (or was forced to because of his injuries in the rink) although I think we all knew from the beginning that there was a joke being told.

Jackson, if she is playing the Tea Party like a record, has given no indication that she is doing some sort of major performance art and the Tea Party isn't in on the joke either.

Personally, for whatever reasons (mental breakdown, lack of purpose in life) I think she's the real deal - a real, ignorant, whack-job, who doesn't realize how stupid and pathetic she sounds and is.

fastfeat's picture

I was contemplating that as well. Trouble is, so on her deathbead she renounces the RW claptrap-- who'll give a flying f*ck? And who'll give her a check?

I would like to believe this is performance art. I can only wish that this is a character a la Colbert, but I don't believe it. There has never been any indication or evidence to back that up.

I think this is really her - and that is very sad. I have pity for her.

Sxeptomaniac's picture

I find the character just too over-the-top. It could be genuine, but I'm not positive.

That she claimed to not be able to afford college, when she apparently did go, might be a hint that she's playing a character, not being herself.

....worshipping idiot lame ass Christian non-bible reading, bible thumping lifelong jackass. All Jackson did was obstruct and waste that educated and well learned young man's time.
We don't get it.....complete bullshit.

capnpaco's picture

If I understand correctly, she didn't "just waste his time", she let him express his opinion at length, and then POSTED THE VIDEO ON A RIGHT WING BLOG. If her site is at all popular, she's done the occupy movement a great service, whether she intended to or not.

...Victoria Jackson, who has clearly put one over on everyone here but you.

If anything positive comes out of that "interview" it won't have jackshit to do with that terminally nutty, annoying, no talent washed up crazy bitch.

Excelsior's picture

I don't think Miller hit the skids because his moral compass suddenly got "knocked out of whack". I was a fan of his in the 90's - used to go see his show taped quite a bit - and I watched him tumble. It was because of 9/11 and his reaction to it. He got very outspoken about dropping nukes on the Middle East and other such stuff. Which would have been fine if he'd been a rightwingnut, but he wasn't at the time - and more importantly, neither was his audience. They turned against him for suddenly becoming a goddamn hawk. He found himself with a dwindling audience and floundered for work. This is the kind of practical situation that can turn a person around on the political spectrum. The only welcome he got was at places like Fox, and since he was never exactly a firebrand, his politics just flipped over once he realized the wingnuts were the only ones willing to pay him to do his thing anymore.

So it was a matter of him shooting himself in the foot and the consequences messing up his professional life. The change of politics came after that, out of practical necessity, and eventually became his whole schtick. I'm still not sure if he really believes any of the rightwing crap or whether he's just doing what's expedient, but it is true what they say - act like an asshole long enough, and you'll eventually become an asshole.

Too bad, too, 'cause I thought he was pretty damn funny once upon a time.

...his career was the failed attempt at being a commentator on MNF. He was trying to aim his acidic "Harvard Intellect" at people who were either intellectually unable to grasp the humor and über-arcane references, or simply didn't want their football interrupted by sardonic, erudite observations. (see Dennis, I can use big words and talk kinda like you, too!)

Whether that's poor career moves or "finding a niche" Dennis Miller ceased being relevant (and funny) a loooong time ago, and I'm not sure that he ever really was.

Telling totally unfunny jokes and irrelevant stories that went no fucking where while everyone else was trying to watch a close competitive game with two minutes left.

I think that Miller went right wing after 9/11 as a career move.

But wasn't Miller in the booth prior to 9/11?

In any event, at that point he was as intrusive and obnoxious as any "color" guy in my lifetime. He, Fouts, and Michaels obviously enjoyed each others company. But his rehearsed, multi-syllable pronouncements invoking obscure allusions were simply fucking annoying.

Which is to say, his schtick of being the smartest-guy-in-the-room had grown thin long before his inner reactionary reared its humorless head.

Dear Vicki,
It's as if you don't know that Obama is white - white mother. Why on earth would a white person hate white people? The only reason 'we' think of Obama as black, and not as white, is because more Americans are white than black. In societies where there are more blacks than whites, Obama would be considered white, and people like you would be suspicious that he hates black people. See how that works? In other words it is all nonsense.

Honestly, I can't see it being an act. If it was an act, why would she be hanging out exclusively on rightwing websites and talk shows? If it was a parody, wouldn't she be doing it on, say, The Daily Show or some venue like that? Parody doesn't work if nobody knows that's what you're doing, after all.

She says she couldn't afford college, but her IMDB profile says she went to a couple of them. While some have suggested this was a lie, I wonder if this is a hint that she's playing a character, not being herself. It's obviously not conclusive, but it's a thought.

One of these anti-OWS talking points that is most common is that the participants and the movement in general is "Anti-Capitalist." They're nothing of the sort. Indeed, they're even engaging in "indie-Capitalism" on a small scale. They are just against the monopolization of wealth and opportunity, which some of the uber-wealthy are guilty of conducting this very moment. Of course, a person like Victoria Jackson wouldn't know anything about this, because she is not capable of thinking outside the box.

I guess that's why she's been a 'comedic' dropout for years.

Let's see the last time she was relevant she was getting paid and working in the LIBERAL ARTS on SNL.
Does she recognize separation of church and state? Can I ask how she made her money through Capitalism and what she does for a living now?

WTF

Rich people don't create jobs, they send them over seas. How much does it cost to make an iPhone in China. Wal-Mart buys all their crap from China and still won't pay their workers enough to live on. What have the WALTONS done for society?

has factories in China. American will never get back the jobs that went overseas. So, if the Republicans take over, what are they going to do? Simple. Another war. Probably Iran.

You're really saying this woman is for real? This isn't a parody??

I'm not sure I believe it, nobody can be that stupid, and that voice just can't be her real voice, nobody sounds like that outside a silly romcom. Minus rom.

And I'm not sure I want to believe it, because if she's a spokesman for the rightwing mindset, they should get someone to shut her up, and fast. She's making them look bad. Sorry, look worse.

Edwin's picture

To sum up, she's a dingbat, real or acted. Does it matter which? Washed-up, aging, has-been, trying to stay relevant. Feel sorry for her. That's all she deserves.

if it's Andy Kaufman-esque satire, then it's brilliant.

At the moment in the UK there are two "reality" shows on our screens ("The Only Way Is Essex" and "Made In Chelsea") both filled with people so dense that they deflect light. Until today l thought they were the biggest wastes of space l had ever had the misforture to witness but this woman.....

She makes the cast of Jersy Shore seem like those involved in The Manhatten Project.

How can one person be so completely unaware of their mental deficiencies and lack of coherent debating skills (not to mention lack of factual content) and still manage to feed themselves?

Wing-nut welfare.

It works something like this -

Are you Untalented? Awkward? Unliked? Nasty or stupid? Are you getting nowhere in your career? Do people hate you? If this sounds like you, then you could be a wing nut. Come to the dark side - become a republican shill. We, the ruling class, are always looking for people willing to sacrifice their humanity, and we'll pay you well.

...something like that, anyway.

Just watched it. I think Vicki is close to having an epiphany. If she just gets over her emotional attachment to those wing nut views... she could join us as one of the 99%. She learned the wing nut lies well enough, so now she should be able to learn the truth.

Poor Victoria Jackson, she just can't figure IT out.
Could she be stupid?

...playing everyone just remember that she is a big time Glenn Beck worshipper. Repukes simply don't want her.

Romans 13:

5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.

6 This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing.

7 Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

I used this on my right wing cousin who lives in Florida and claims to be a man of faith:

Matthew 25 Verse 34-40:

34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

This was after he said the most important thing in the bible was the ten commandments. I asked why he didn't think these words of Jesus were more important. Lets just say we don't get on.

question about how he was going to give everyone "smart brains" I thought my head would explode. I'm not generally one to insult another's intelligence, but I found myself paraphrasing 'Billy Madison' at the screen:

Ms Jackson, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent questioning were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone here is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

OMG the insurmountable load of bull sh*t that spewed out of this idiots mouth, It was heartening to see the intelligence of the guy she was interviewing. You would never get that at a tea party rally. All you would hear is the same kind of dog whistle catch phrases like those Victoria continuously fell back on.

This guy she interviews needs to be on TV. People need to see this video. Whether Victoria is serious or pretending or whatever about SNL is beside the point.

Every now and then some of these wing-nuts will leave their sheltered echo-chamber with the false idea that they could hold their own in a REAL debate, I've seen fat boy do it from time to time. They let their ego's get the better of them and begin to believe their own propaganda. They venture out into the real world away from the controlled environment of their radios or fox channel and attempt to engage a real liberal in a battle of wits.
The inevitable results are of course.......inevitable. It will usually be a while before they try it again, but with the current crop of wing-nuts, they feel no embarrassment at having made a fool of themselves and will even convince themselves that they won the debate.
It’s all a part of the republican’t war on reality.

Vicki who? That guy was awesome!

She's not the story here, I barely paid attention to a word she said, but he was tremendously articulate. As the Editor asks: "Why did she post this?"

Where do I sign up for his Socialist Marxis Party? Well, maybe not, but I could at least come to his Jesus, rather than Vicki's.

The comments here suggest I was right to do so.

Fast forward to about the 4 minute mark. From there on it's 10 minutes of some protester being awesome.
