Julia Sweeney recalls her days on Saturday Night Live. I thought Ms. Sweeney was an underused talent on that show who was capable of doing a lot more than playing Pat in a series of sketches that would be fondly remembered if they'd stopped after about three of 'em. I saw her one-woman show a few years later and it was quite wonderful.
She's right about Victoria Jackson, by the way. I know Victoria — or did before she decided that people of my political positions were Unwitting Tools of Satan. The Victoria I knew was very sweet and very charming but, as Ms. Sweeney noted, lacking in any filter. She said exactly what was on her mind even if it was inappropriate or thoughtless. I'm sure she believes exactly what she says she believes and doubt that any force on this planet could ever persuade her it was wrong.
