this lady was on snl once...
don't know why because she's clearly crazy and out of her mind
read this article:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1368126/Victoria-Jackson-brands-Glee-gay-kiss-scene-sickening.html
what the eff is this post about?
Anony 1,
Well, she's entitled to her opinions. She was on with Phil Hartman and Dana Carvey (and Jon Lovitz). Yeah, she was mostly annoying, but she was sometimes funny, no different than SNL players nowadays.
Is she crazy? I don't think so. She just has political views that are the opposite of Glee. Not sure why she targeted Glee (maybe because she's a fan and wants to watch it but doesn't want the unsolicited political messages).
Either way, I don't think it's worthy of posting here. She's just a former SNLer who's getting into politics. Like Al Franken, but he did it much longer and became a Senator (and he's on the opposite side of the fence).
Maybe an "SNL and Politics" article? But judging from Anony 2's response, finding more Andy content is a better use of my time.
Anony 2,
Read the title and intro sentence. I think it's clear. If this is a genuine question, let me know. If you're ranting that you don't care, then just ignore it or contribute to Andy-related stories (versus some more SNL-oriented content).
Thanks!

can't belive such a small minded person like victoria jackson used to be on snl. didn't know she was a homophobe. but I didn't like her too much anyways during her days on snl, so no big surprise there.
Jen,
I'm not sure if Victoria Jackson is a homophobe. What's the definition of homophobe? She seems to be against Glee showing the homosexual kiss. So that could mean homophobe or it could be specific to what it was. Not sure.
I'm not really defending her though (just defending the value of not jumping to conclusions and not branding people), as I never really found her very funny (but I could put most of past SNL cast members in that bucket).
