OK, so former Saturday Night Live cast member Victoria Jackson is a nut -- and not in a good, zany comedian way. In her, we finally find someone who can out-dumb FOX's Steve Doocy.
Doocy had Jackson on to talk about the tea party movement and found himself talking to the stereotypical teabagger. "Unfortunately, Doocy appeared to be unaware of what Jackson has been up to since she left SNL in 1992," writes Media Matters' Brooke Obie, "you know, how she's said that Obama 'bears traits that resemble the anti-Christ' and shares 'so many similar qualities' with Adolf Hitler (i.e.: 'Obama's current attitude toward Israel is in question. Hitler did not support Jews.')"
But things get extra fun when Jackson insists Barack Obama is a communist.
OK, a few points: One, Victoria Jackson is just squirrely. Two, Glenn Beck is likewise squirrely. Three, Steve Doocy brings up a fact, only to have it trumped by Beck's fearmongering myth, delivered by the squirrely Victoria Jackson. Four, no wonder FOX News viewers have no freakin' idea what the hell is going on -- even when they tell the truth, there's some frootloop on to undercut it. And five, all this confusing mixed messaging makes FOX News viewers squirrely.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry, so I'll go with laughing -- at, not with. FOX News, providing crazy-assed bullshit since 1996.

JACKSON: I am the tea party people. We're beginners at this political activism and it's all new to us and it's kind of cute 'cause we're shy, we hold up our signs like this, you know, despite what they say about us, I have never done anything like this, but we have to because the president is a Communist...
DOOCY: Now, he is not a Communist. But you just pointed out that you hold up signs and stuff like that and people make fun of you. What do you think about how some on the other political side have tried to diminish or, you know, or marginalize the Tea Party people?
JACKSON: Well, I guess they're afraid of the power of our passion and our numbers and, you know, you might not say Communist, but I watch Glenn Beck and he's taught me well. Progressive is the new word for Communist, but it's the same goal as government control of everything and it's very obvious that Obama is trying to do that. And I don't want to brag, but I sort of called it before he was elected and when I was on O'Reilly and I said he was a Communist and I got a lot of hate mail, but I got some that said I was a prescient which means "a prophet."
