A Culturally Sensitive Teach-In With Victoria JacksonPosted on Jan 2, 2012
Victoria Jackson, “SNL” throwback and low-rent Lady Gaga, took another big misstep in her troubling transition from comedy to punditry with this Shariah-themed episode of “PolitiChicks,” which would play like self-parody if Jackson had the capacity for critical self-reflection. But hey, there’s a token woman of color among her cohort of She-publicans, so it can’t be that bad, can it? Oh yes it can. —KA “PolitiChicks” via YouTube: Advertisement New and Improved CommentsWe are launching a major overhaul of our comments section.

I was reading this in the small font size and initially read the title as “culturally sensitive trash-in” - I guess my initial read was correct. I switched the page font size… incidentally, Jackson wasn’t funny when she was on SNL, and now she’s just pathetic and grating.

way back in the day when they were on SNL. I’m pretty sure they didn’t write their
own material back then.

Who could take this woman seriously. She looks like a Cabbage Patch doll per her own choice and talks in a babydoll fashion and voice. Her favorite argument and ad nauseum response is centered around very contrived and half baked references to perceived contradictions continually implying that a person doesn’t make sense rather than just being incorrect. She’s contemptible on so many levels. Her grasp of the subjects she chooses are invariably juvenile. uggggghhhh
