A Culturally Sensitive Teach-In With Victoria Jackson

Email this item Email    Print this item Print   

Posted 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

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.

Lighten up truthdiggers, they’re just showing what an absurd, ignorant b*!#? she
is.  I remember when her and Dennis Miller were actually pretty funny comedians
way back in the day when they were on SNL.  I’m pretty sure they didn’t write their
own material back then.

How dare you call this brainless twit a
“low-rent Lady Gaga”? Gaga is a genius.  Mentioning her in an analogy to this has-
been is an extreme insult to Gaga and all
little monster everywhere!

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
