I don't if anyone has watched any of the news coverage of the Tea Party Movement, but former SNL cast member Victoria Jackson has become fairly popular on the Tea Party... and she's batshit crazy. Here's a dumb song she wrote.
The only thing I remember her from on SNL are the Toonces the Driving Cat sketches. I concur with Woodzy on this one.

No. Wait. Not gonna play that card yet. We're at least ten posts away from that.
This post made my night.
But yeah, agreed. I'm sure it will shock you all to hear I'm not a huge Tea Party fan, but I feel bad for anyone whose views are supposedly represented by someone this incompetent.

Oh man, I loved Toonces the driving cat! Now I hope my cat gets run over so I could get a new one and name it Toonces.

God, that was SUCH a stupid skit, and yet it put me on the floor laughing every single time. Absolutely hilarious.

The women in that era of SNL didn't really get starring roles. They were supporting characters, and Carvey/Myers/Hartman and then eventually Farley/Sandler/Rock/Spade were getting most of the airtime.
Tales of the Runaway Boulder used to crack me up too.

Considering one of that group's big idols in Sarah Palin, are you really surprised it's becoming a magnet for similar intellects?

I talked to someone at work the other night on the phone, they said they didn't belong to the Republican Party, they belonged to the Tea Party
And didn't Victoria Jackson marry some magician or something? I can't remember. I do remember seeing her on Strip Mall, which introduced me to the very sexy Julie Brown.

That's actually a good thing, as funny as it is. The faster Repubs can distance themselves from these people, the better off they're going to be in the long run. Let the branch off and make their own little party. The Repubs might loose some voters in the short term, but coming back to some semblance of sanity will get them a lot more support in the future.

It's funny, because the Tea Party helped push Scott Brown into office in Massachusetts, and he's about as moderate as Republicans comes, and the Tea Party is way, way right.

I noticed that too. I think its because (if you'll forgive the analogy) the TP is something like the Remora fish to the Repub's shark: they aren't powerful enough to exist on their own (not yet anyway), and need the established party to pull them along. To that end, they're willing to support any Republican who'll throw them a bone, in order to grow the Tea Party's legitimacy as a political force.
Eventually I think they'll either have to splinter off into their own, more fringe group (as they're a bit too extreme for general, middle of the road population the Republicans want and need to woo) or they'll eventually just kind of wither up and disappear.
All I can say is, wherever they go, I hope they take insane people like Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh with them.
