From Eric Dondero:

There were rumors for years that former Saturday Night Live cast member Victoria Jackson was a closeted rightwinger. And why not? Her cast-mate was none other than libertarian Republican Dennis Miller. But it wasn't til the 2008 Presidential campaign that the rumors started to be confirmed. Jackson on the O'Reilly Report on Fox endorsed John McCain, and straight out called Obama "a Communist." She went even further, saying he reminded her of someone straight out of a George Orwell novel, with his face plastered everywhere one turned. (See video here.)

Jackson then showed up at a Tea Party rally in Van Nuys on April 15, 2009. She jumped up on a make-shift stage with mic in hand, and started quoting Jefferson. She also railed against Obama: "NObaman, No Taxes, No Bowing!" She showed up again over the summer at a similar rally held in Pasadena.

Now she's a headliner at the upcomming "Showdown in Searchlight" Nevada, billed as the "largest Tea Party event" ever for the State. (Searchlight is the hometown of Harry Reid.)

Given her appearance at what promises to be a very hardline anti-Obama/anti-Big Spending event, it's now safe to add Jackson to the growing list of Rightwing Celebs, challenging leftwing domination of Hollywood, the music industry, and television.
