Victoria Jackson's Tea Party tune: 'There's a Communist Living in the White House'
When "Saturday Night Live" reunited the majority of it's female alums for a "Women of SNL" special in 2010, we wondered why Victoria Jackson, the dippy, soft-voiced cast member who stayed from 1986 to 1992, wasn't there. Well, we have our answer. She probably wouldn't do too well in a room with Tina Fey.
We'd heard that Jackson is an active member of the Tea Party -- something that doesn't necessarily equate to crazy -- but we had no idea that she'd parlayed her controversial political views into a musical comedy shtick.
Her album "Use Me" includes a tune and music video called "There's a Communist Living in the White House" -- and the only thing that's more shocking than her tiresome accusations about President Obama's political affiliation is the fact that this has been on the Internet for an entire year and has only gotten just over 400,000 hits.
You cannot possibly wait any longer to watch it. Nothing else has ever been so simultaneously infuriating and hilarious.

Uhm . . . I understand that entertainment journalists are, by and large, Democrats . . . but your readers surely hail from all over the spectrum. You should be able to write an article which respects that. Being a member of the Tea Party doesn't mean you have "controversial" views, and that you feel the association between Obama's views and communism is tirsome and infuriating is just that . . . something you feel.
I don't mind political disagreements in general, but I definitely grow weary, as a loyal reader of this site, of needless interjection of a dismissive, and sometimes hostile attitude toward conservative politics.
I would think bigamy is far more controversial than the Tea Party, yet Zap use the word once in its article on Big Love below this one.

I have yet to come across an entertainment blog that is not biased.
There is nothing controversial about the Tea Party's political views -- unless you consider adherence to the Constitution controversial.
Not all of Hollywood consists of liberal Democrats, and more and more libertarians, Republicans and Tea Partiers come out of the closet each year. It's a shame, though, that so many of them feel required to hide their politics for fear of damaging their careers.
I find it very distasteful that Zap *constantly* feels the need to let its journalists interject their own political opinions into their articles. Whatever happened to objective, dispassionate journalism? You may find her statements to be "tiresome", yet they are indeed facts that must be taken into consideration when attempting to apply a label to Mr. Obama's political philosophy. Some may have no relevance -- Mr. Obama may not have been given a choice as to which course to teach, for example, yet others, such as the dogma preached by his church, certainly do.
Please stick to entertainment, Zap, and keep your politics out of the mix. There are a great many other sites out there that offer the same things you do, if not more, and don't constantly insult my political views (no, I'm not a Tea Party member, but I am a libertarian, and you slap me around enough sufficiently). I started coming here the week you opened, and have remained out of habit -- but I'm seriously considering moving on to a site that doesn't feel the need to play partisan politics -- and also employs editors and proofreaders.
I think her association with the tea party has nothing to do that she is a talentless, clueless human being.
The fact that she speaks at Tea Party events and not dissuaded by the people of the movement kind of says a lot about the base of the party. There's a reason why you don't see KKK members speaking for NAACP or Democrats speaking at Republican conventions--their ideas doesn't much up with the organization's ideals. I'd be for the Tea Party if it strictly was an economical party (like what its many of its people are saying) and not being intolerant and really anti-American at its core. If I want to kiss a guy because I'm gay let me; why it has to do with the government or anyone else's life shouldn't even have to be an issue. It's not like I'm killing people or causing a financial crisis.
