Victoria's Secret

Victoria Jackson has come out against Barack Obama. Like, a lot. The still not-ready-for-primetime player has just unleashed an angry/incoherent tirade directed toward the Senator from Illinois on—get this!—her own, personal blog.

(I was as surprised to hear the Saturday Night Live alum was still alive as I was to learn of her mastery over the worldwide web!)

Among Vic’s many cuckoo-for-cocoa-puffs claims were: Obama is the “anti-Christ”; Obama owns the [sic] “un-educated” voting block; Obama is a “fake Christian”… and that subsequently makes Obama “soooo evil.”

But here’s the part where, I believe, Victoria (”Miss Jackson” if you’re nasty) made some semblance of a point:

“I know my stance might keep me from LA jobs, since (almost) the whole town is liberal but, some time in a man’s life, or a bleach blonde 49 year old woman’s life, one must stand for what they believe in, and put truth before popularity.”

Are you saying that a community of open-minded (and legged) artists that value free thought above all else would ever consider blackballing a fellow actor who happened to disagree with the collective whole?

First of all, yeah, that is what I’m saying. (And secondly, try and make your questions a little less wordy in the future.)

Andrew Breitbart, founder of Breitbart.com, and co-author of Hollywood, Interrupted: Insanity Chic in Babylon - The Case Against Celebrity, maintains that the rightwing freeze felt from the clubs along Sunset Boulevard all the way to Silvercup Studios in Queens is comparable to Senator Joe McCarthy’s blacklisting of perceived — and actual — communists back in the Cold and Warring days of the 1950s.

“Back then, even if you were blacklisted, you could still make money,” says Breitbart. “If network television rejected you, Broadway would still welcome you with open arms. Now, if you’re some low-level guy walking around the Paramount lot trying to get noticed and your right of center politics become know, it’s a disaster. The same industry people that walked out of Good Night, And Good Luck crying their eyes out won’t give you the time of day, because they think Bush is Hitler and therefore you’re an SS soldier.”

While the industry’s executives will always value making a buck over people’s political affiliations, for every opinionated yet inoffensive Oprah out there, there are ten more of the Tim Robbins, Sean Penn and Rosie O’Donnell variety ready to rip the McCain pin off some beleaguered, rightwing key grip.

“Hollywood is a very liberal town and supporting a Republican, even one with liberal social views, is considered risky business,” Giuliani-backer and LA publicist Michael Levine said last year, according to Page Six. (This was when America’s mayor still had a snowball’s chance of becoming America’s president.)

Indeed, sources tell me the anti neo-con climate in Hollywood is so potent that secret societies have formed full of right-thinking actors, directors, trust funded production assistants, and anyone else that finds the GOP in LA to be MIA.

Apparently, out-of-the-closet conservatives like Dennis Miller, Jon Voight, and Dennis Hopper often make the rounds during these clandestine meetings, but the vast majority of members keep their ideology even more secret than their coke habit, four mistresses, and that lady boy hooker they accidentally killed in Thailand some years back.

Only time will tell what Victoria Jackson’s red-state admission has wrought — but don’t be surprised if, at the next SNL retrospective, Chevy Chase becomes the second most reviled and shunned creature on the 30 Rock soundstage.

One of the best ways to maintain your physical health is to monitor what you take in, and strive to eat healthy, but in this day and age, the healthy fresh produce and lean meats are more expensive than the high fat and preservative packed foods. Those healthy groceries can add up quickly. Now take those Victoria's Secret models – I know what I want for Christmas – many women, and men reacting to media stimulus, see those people and get motivated to get healthier and streamline themselves. Now, taking better care of yourself, getting into shape is a great thing – vital for a long and healthy life – but those special groceries and gym memberships can get expensive, fast. It's also hard to get motivated to go for a lift at the gym or a run once you've gotten home from work, and just want to relax on the couch. Real health problems can get even costlier. Visits to the local clinic, emergency room, or a specialist practice can add up into the thousands, even with insurance. Really, you want to eat healthy and live well, but the costs can add up, as well can the costs for anything else. You can always get help payday loans to keep yourself in financial health this holiday season. Payday loans can bolster your finances in your times of ill financial health.

Nicely put Razed by Wolves. Personally I cannot support someone who has "Changed" what he has stood for most of his life to get votes.

K Barnes said: It is amazin' how Ms Palin is more popular than the war in Iraq right now. And, have they actually checked Biden (who has been hidin') on his emails, or Michele's emails or Barak's emails? Everyone Is exempt but the lady who is lucky enough to be in the limelight with "Charlie" , who was either thoroughly enjoying looking at her with disdain, or hated looking at such a lovely little whirlwind, he may have realized how much more grounded she is, and didn't get real flustered even when his stupid questions were as big as the world. Maybe he was a little frustrated that the "gotcha" questions were handled with charisma. She's amazin' that Palin! kbee

Stephen M said: The left needs a reality check. I almost hope that the Democrats win this election. Let them try to deal with all these issues facing our country and watch them fail miserably. They better be glad that we have had someone in the White House protecting their sorry buts from attacks on our soil. They would be singing a different tune if this would have happened in LA. Or maybe they would have just said that if we were kinder or friendlier that this would have never happened. Last I checked, the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole happened on Hootchie Mama Clinton's watch. Put down your $5.00 latte a use the money for therapy... Socialists!!!!

Michael Lovelace said: Can we at least critisize Joe McCarthy for things he actually did. You're thinking of the House Committee on Unamerican Activities in the blacklisting matter. McCarthy was trying to get communists out of government positions and I don't believe he ever publicly named any of them. -mike

TommyHolly said: The main point of this story is something I have talked about for some time now... (Hollywood Liberals blacklisting anyone even thought of being conservative) "is comparable to Senator Joe McCarthy’s blacklisting of perceived — and actual — communists back in the Cold and Warring days of the 1950s." Polarized politics is dangerous!! No matter if you are really far to the left or the right, no political party can have all of the the answers all of the time. The next decade will see much more and much worse slamming of any conservative thoughts until it reaches a breaking point, and lets hope that point does not devide or destroy the USA.
