Gus Garcia-Roberts profile of Tea Party Princess Victoria Jackson is this week’s cover story.
Gawker’s Brian Moylan chooses some of the story’s most “insane” quotes. Like:
- “Some people thought I was a genius. Some people thought I was retarded.”
- “[Weed] made me very creative, horny, and paranoid.”
- “I kind of had a crush on Weird Al Yankovic. We kind of went on a date, but I don’t know if he loved me or not.”
- “If you get killed because you’re gay, the murderer gets extra time. It’s hilarious! Alcoholism is a sin too, but you don’t see an alcoholic pride parade. Alcoholics hide in little rooms in basements and they go, ‘Hi, I’m Fred.’”
Read the rest: “Victoria Jackson, Tea Party Princess”
Victoria Jackson went to my high school. Once, when I was in middle school, she came to speak for us. It’s a Christian school, but the looks on everyone’s faces, including teachers, were varying degrees of “Is she serious?”
The woman is funny, sweet, and… I think nuts. It runs in her family, according to this article. She had then and seems to have now this aura of not quite being connected with reality or with herself. Unless of course she understands what a big joke she is, in which case she is very smart indeed. But there truly is something going on up there, something off.
But she’s fascinating.
