Victoria Jackson launches hilarious parody of excruciating conservative talk show
Like most of Saturday Night Live’s recurring characters, some would argue that Victoria Jackson’s “Massive Headwound Tea Party Lady” caricature has outlived its impact as satire and devolved into outright cartoonishness. But it’s hard to fault Jackson for continuing to mine laughs out of the absurd ramblings of an ill-informed naïf who believes America is being overrun by a secret cabal of terrorist Muslims working in collusion with the gays to make everyone gay and/or Muslim, and that our only hopes for salvation lie in Jesus Christ and Glenn Beck. After all, every time you think her “Ann Coulter if she suffered a brain embolism” parody has run out of steam, Jackson comes out with another home run skit like PolitiChicks, her new, web-based weekly talk show that finds Jackson gathering ironically in a library with various women who are too scared to read, and having a View-like discussion of the day’s topics, without all the bleeding-heart liberal ranting of Elisabeth Hasslebeck.
