‘Serious-minded’ SNL alum Victoria Jackson seeks freedom-loving voters in local TN election

Former Saturday Night Live star Victoria Jackson is running for Williamson County Commissioner for District #2 in Tennessee, and she recently released her second campaign video.

The video begins with Jackson writing a list of examples of “Government Over-reach,” including “Common Core — Marxist propaganda,” “light bulbs — Big Gulps,” “EPA,” “Obamacare,” “Internet Censorship,” “Political Correctness,” and “CONTROLS MEDIA,” which she underlines twice.

She then introduces herself, saying she’s talking to singer-songwriter Buddy Kalb about Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals. “You know, Obama taught a course on it,” she said, “and he’s ruining our country by it.”

“I know you might have heard this before, but it’s dedicated to Lucifer,” she said, holding what appears to be the dedication page of Alinsky’s book up to the camera. “Anyway, I was just talking to Buddy about the state of our country, and I wanted to ask him why he thinks you should vote for me.”

From everything I've seen of her outside of playing 'characters', she's as stupid as Gohmert or Foxx.

10. Is she a character actor trying to remain famous or humorously misinformed?

You can never tell what is act and what is real. That's why she is so perfect for Faux news.

No one's really that stupid, and Jackson isn't so obviously cashing in as is a Gohmert or a Bachmann.

I knew Andy Kaufman. Andy Kaufman was a friend of mine. Ma'am, you're no Andy Kaufman.

Convince me this idiot's shtik isn't just really, really crappy performance art.

they are so afraid that if they don't, and he ended up being real, they would burn in hell.

Someone actually said that to me decades ago when I asked why they were a Christian. How is that "Faith"?
