Victoria Jackson is the most adorable political activist ever.
I am a beginner political activist.I’m doing everything wrong too, but at least I’m doing. I called Howard Berman, and told his assistant to vote “NO” on the Hate Crime thing. She belched, “Are you aware that Howard Berman is the one who created the bill?” I said, “No, I wasn’t aware of that, but tell him he’s wrong. All crimes are hate crimes. It’s just an attempt to push the gay agenda.” Then, I hung up red faced, but committed. I called Nancy Pelosi and when I got her voice mail, I said, “Please vote to keep Freedom of Speech, especially Conservative and Christian, on the radio and T.V. If you don’t, you’ll be sorry!” When I hung up my cell phone, my husband the cop screamed from across the car, “Who were you calling?!” He almost crashed. I said, “Nancy Pelosi.” He said, “You just threatened Nancy Pelosi?!! The Speaker of the House?!! The third in line?!!” I started shouting, “I didn’t threaten her life, I was just trying to be emphatic! I just meant that if she eliminates conservative and Christian talk radio, all that will be left will be Howard Stern, and filth, and porn, and everything will be dark and bad, and icky!” My husband the cop shouted back, “They take threats seriously, Vicki!!” So, I called her voice mail back, and told her my name and apologized and said that I was a beginner political activist and hadn’t worded my message right. I just wanted my freedom not to go away.” My husband shouted, “You just told her your name!”
Funny stuff.
The hate mongers are watching us all these days. “Hello, brownshirts, may I give you my name and a list of what I’ve said or thought that’s wrong today?” “Oh, you already have it? Great! I don’t need to let you know anymore, since you have your ways!” Welcome to the new world order!!! Thank you Harry, Nancy, and BHO-WHO!
Victoria’s cop husband also forgot that with some of the specialized switchboards that are in use, they most likely knew who she was by her phone number, regardless of whether or not she gave her name.
I’m so glad Victoria Jackson’s a regular contributor at Big Hollywood. In addition to the slew of Carl’s Jr. ads, also count myself as geographically lucky for being able to watch her grow into her role as political activists at events and Tea Parties in the Southland these last few months. Would be a damn shame if we locals were the only ones able to share in the experience.
I’m always a bit surprised when whe shows up again. She tends to disappear for years at a time…nice to know she’s still out there.
Good piece.
Saw her on Hannity’s “Great American Panel” along with Bob Beckel – it was hilarious to watch Beckel squirming.
She rocked the La Canada Tea Party. Damn was today fun. Long, but fun.
