Comedian, actress and singer Victoria Jackson, one of the stars of NBC's "Saturday Night Live" in the 1980s and '90s, is making no secret concerning who she thinks can best lead America away from what she says is a communist threat in the White House.

"I trust Sarah Palin," said Jackson, who will be taking part in WND's upcoming "Taking America Back" national conference in Miami. "People make fun of her because they're afraid of her, because she's honest. Wow! What a new concept! An honest politician. I love her."

Nothing political here

Those are terms that some Midwesterners probably had never heard before — and that some Italian Americans would have preferred stayed within the Tri-State area's borders.
