Poor audio quality but if you can pick out what she's saying, you realize she's a fountain of stupid.
-
So, she's basically the Bizarro-Julia Sweeney?
-
Victoria should be the next contestant on Shout!'s Celebrity Buried Alive!
-
Poor Tiny Tim. That should be him up there.
-
I'm tired of the Right getting all the celebrity talent! I mean, they got Wayne Newton, Chuck Norris, Adam Baldwin. All the greats when you really sit down and think about it.
The demos just get the rest of hollywood. pooh.

Not Linderman!

Here it is so you can hear it. Ew boy...

They played a clip of this on NPR the other day, and as soon as I heard her voice I did a Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon leap across my kitchen to hit the knob on the radio. Chilling.
-
This song would have been better had Jan Hooks sung it.
-
I don't know--her evidence is really, really persuasive. I've seen the light.
-
I'm more of a Nora Dunn fan, myself.

I've always thought we would be better off if a third party came along and challenged the status quo.
Man, the things you think you want.

Not to get into it too deep, but this will never happen with the American electoral system as it has always existed. You'd have to rewite significant sections of the Constitution.
Unless you quickly build a third party strong enough to knock out one of the two existing parties. They've been trying since 1865.

Bull Moose,
They may have beat the Republicans but they still lost the election.

Bull Moose,
How many Bull Moose Presidents have we had, Freddy?
Might as well say Reform Party.
The math just doesn't work. No one wants to hear that, but you're all just a bunch of little cyphers, with no joint free will.

Mindless laws are set in place that limit third parties a narrow opportunity to play the political field on a fair level. You would have to be a crazy billionaire to pull off being included as a third party in debates. It has nothing to do with constitutional law. Democrats and Republicans are neither "liberal" nor "conservative". They are all corporatists who will be swayed by deepening pockets and lobbyists. The UK has many political parties, and they have not imploded.
Sorry to fuel a debate.
I'm with you Fredericks.
-
Does the UK have the same electoral system as the United States, waltkellysghost?
Might there be something in that that could cause a difference?
-
They don't, but Parliament is still democratic in nature. No process is perfect, but perhaps that method is onto something. Our process doesn't hold back third parties, the two major political parties do that.
Our votes aren't direct either. We go through an electoral college that speaks for the sum votes of its regions. When I voted Obama in 2008, my state electoral colleges went Republican. That means my vote didn't count.
Parliament's process isn't too far off. By comparison you could say ours is way shadier. Parliament has direct representatives that must sway their regions directly. The people see who represent them. US citizens must do some fairly deep research to identify the electoral college members that represent their state.
I'm sure the electoral college counts the votes square for their states, but how would we know if they didn't? To most americans they are an enigma, and they have made it a point to keep it that way.
To swing back to the forum topic real quick: Victoria Jackson is a moron.
-
Y'know. If the House and the Senate all wore powdered wigs....I would forgive most government transgressions.
-
This brings back memories of suffering through her stupid songs and her insufferable ditzy girl persona back on episodes of Saturday Night Live in the 80s. Ew brother. Teabaggers bringing the Starpower.
-
It occurs to me that she's probably Irwin Chusid's ideal performer.
-
Wish there was backstage footage of her bantering with Al back in the day...
-
This is reminding me of that quote from some UK person: 'In America they have 2 political parties. One is like our Conservative Party. So is the other.'
-
If I wanted to be pompous, I could say that we Canadians can say the same thing about the US. But I won't.
-
Because you're Canadian, right?
-
I've been a big fan since her show-stopping performance in UHF.

Seconded.

I miss Erwin Knoll.

I really have to hate Victoria Jackson now? Way to let me down, world.
If not for the lyrics her song would sound right at home in JUNO.
