Politichicks a Conservative alternative to The View, etc starring SNL's Victoria Jackson

[EricMontreal22]

I was SURE this was a parody, until I discovered Victoria Jackson has become a Tea Party member... (Sigh, and I always liked her too)

The PolitiChicks are here! Finally, Conservative Americans will have an alternative to those other liberal-based talk shows in which women scream over each other and call Conservatives vile names.

The PolitiChicks are former Saturday Night Live alumni and Tea Party favorite Victoria Jackson, pro-life speaker and activist Jennique Stewart, editor and activist Jennie Jones and Ann-Marie Murrell, columnist and host of The Patriot Update video show.

Some of the topics covered in their first episodes will be illegal immigration, gay marriage, abortion and the Occupy movement. Each of the women have their own strong points of view on each of the subjects and aren't afraid to speak up--or sing up, as Victoria Jackson tends to do throughout the episodes. In the first episode of PolitiChicks, the ladies discuss gay marriage, Islam and the intolerance of the left toward anyone who disagrees with them.

Ooh lord, I don't even know if I should watch...

[EricMontreal22]

Please do--the comment that says "Why all the hate, this is the best SNL skit ever" is pretty much spot on--except it's legit. Wow.

Are they in a warehouse?

Victoria Jackson has been very far to the right for a long time. She showed up on the 700 Club during the 1996 campaigns in "comedy" segments like going around the subway with a Pat Robertson cardboard cutout.

I always enjoyed her on SNL and have been sad at how unhinged she's become with each passing year. She was loathed by many of her castmates on SNL, and it's not hard to see why.

The second episode tackles the awful lie of Obama's birth certificate

I actually am surprised they put Jackson on this show, but I guess they need a "celeb" because she really does seem like she's playing comedy. "Muslims have DEAD EYES".

[DRW50]

She looks like that woman who used to go on QVC with the Quacker Factory. Sadly she passed away not long ago, along with Victoria's career, apparently.

[EricMontreal22]

HA I actually know who you mean. She could totally resurect her career, at least as a cult comedy figure, if she realized how all of this should be marketed as satire...

[SFK]

Wait a minute, Quacker Factory lady died?? I always knew in my heart that a good chunk of her customers had Soap Opera Digest subscriptions.

I'm with AMS, I may need to get in the mood to watch these.

[EricMontreal22]

Oh it's good for a laugh As someone said on my facebook it really could be just reiterated verbotim on SNL, and would be the best skit they've had in a very long time. They've posted two episodes in just 3 days, so I hope that means we have more gold coming!

The intro announcing the show. Just like they say "We're just like the Dixie Chicks but... SMART! (And we love George W Bush!)"

This is obviously a very low-budget program.

If the mainstream media has a conservative bias (as a couple here at SON have stated), then how come ABC doesn't cancel The View--a "fair and balanced" show where liberals outnumber conservatives--and replace it with this new program (after giving it a decent budget)?

[EricMontreal22]

The View does have an undeniably more liberal view. But I think (as these women state) that conservatives are an "unheard majority" is ridiculous in the land of Fox News, etc. Granted, these women and this show give anyone who calls themselves a conservative a very bad name.

[Max]

Nicely put, Eric. This is exactly how I feel.

[Roman]

Well, since you said it's good for a hearty laugh, I'll check it out. If this is what conservatism is....I'm glad I'm not one whole heartedly. LOL!

Where is it written that fair and balanced means every viewpoint not only gets treated equally but also an equal number of people get to defend either side of an issue? Certainly not on FOX, the propaganda ministry for the GOP. Of course the mainstream media has a conservative bias. Just look how all the networks and CNN fell all over themselves trying to paint Michelle Bachmann, Rick Perry and Herman Cain as something other than mental midgets. Ditto Sarah Palin. They bent over backwards trying to give these republican clowns legitimacy just like they bend over backwards trying to paint the Tea Party as something other than a right wing, fringe, racist hate monger society funded by conservative billionaires. They parroted Bush's lies on Iraq to sell it to the American people, they parrot the conservative lie that republicans are willing to work with Obama, they willingly and knowingly bring on rethuglican liars every night (like Newt Gingrich the historian) to make claims they know are false and never ask a follow up (which is basically what the clown who hosts Meet The Press does every week).

Now ABC should fire The View so imbeciles like Elizabeth Hasselback can get equal time? Why would ABC shame itself by putting four morons on the air to discuss why they think Obama is not an American or bash gays? Isn't there enough of that on conservative talk radio and FOX?
