I feel like he’s pulling some Mike Seaver prank and waiting to say “Gotcha!” but thinks it’s funnier the longer it goes on. I know he’s serious, but I can still hope. ---

I’m pretty sure Victoria Jackson is insane. I know she’s been married a few times. I can’t remember if it was her first husband, or one of the later ones, she was claiming was the devil and other odd off the wall things. I haven’t seen an image of her since like 2008, she really let herself go. ---

There was a mention of Victoria Jackson on Real Time with Bill Maher. I believe it went something like this: Maher: “Victoria Jackson recently tweeted, ‘Thanks for not showing up to vote, Christians. You disgust me.’ What a coincidence! I tweeted the exact same thing!” ---

Y’know, you kind of wish she had stuck to reciting doggerel while standing on her head. Which come to think of it, it would be great if she were doing so when making those crazy political statements, just to give the full effect. As for celebrity you don’t want on your side, I’d say Glitter is in a league by himself for obvious reasons. Then in the realm of non-criminal nuttery I’d have to go for Kirk Cameron among minor celebs and Mel Gibson among majors. ---

There’s an old picture making the rounds of Jimmy Savile and Tony Blair together, the joke being that it’s hard to pick which one the British public currently loathes more. As for US celebs, folks like Victoria Jackson and Ted Nugent really set the bar pretty high in terms of wacko political endorsements. I mean, I thought the Kutcher/Moore video about serving the president a few years ago was bad but Jackson has gone waaaaay beyond that. ---

I’ve always thought Victoria Jackson was borderline retarded, even back in her SNL days when I found her disturbingly sexy. ---
