When stupidity just isn’t funny


To borrow a quote, it's a terrible thing to lose your mind.Starting with the obvious: Most people who have cause to even remember her name tend to think former SNL gagster Victoria Jackson is nuts. The reasons why escape recall, since most don’t really care, anyway. But whether it was drugs in her heyday, the eventual feeling of rejection that comes when people realize they just aren’t funny, or some untold head trauma, the Victoria Jackson that has emerged in staunch opposition to President Barack Obama has either gone completely bonkers, or else is trying a new approach to comedy that just isn’t working.

  • they both gave big speeches in large venues;
  • they both had youth groups;
  • they both “pretended to be ‘Christian’”; and
  • they both advocated for population control.
