I wish I could give you the whole clip but we’ll have to make do with HuffPo’s 60-second highlight reel. SNL knocked him for laziness; HuffPo, naturally, had hoped his wife would be insulted too. The better joke would have been to goof on him for speaking in platitudes but admittedly that may be a bit too subtle for Saturday night at midnight.

According to Gallup’s latest, Fred’s got only a four-point lead over Rudy on abortion. He had better be ready to pull a rabbit out of the hat at that debate. Click the image to watch.

Rudy on abortion:

Every poor woman should be able to have her abortion funded by the federal government.

Fred on abortion:

Roe v. Wade is horrible law and should be overturned. Let the stayes decide.

There’s your rabbit.

when is fred’s first debate?

Very true, I think Fred’s gotta come out guns blazing and finally show some damn energy at this debate or his campaign is done. I’m not really sure he’ll do it, I’m going 50/50.

Bad Candy on October 7, 2007 at 3:02 PM

Ick, went to HuffPo for that. Otherwise, Darrell does a good Fred! but he is not as bass (Mama sang tenor) otherwise, not bad an impersonation.

CrimsonFisted on October 7, 2007 at 3:03 PM

Yeah, when is Fred’s first debate?

Well… to me what’s really strange is that abortion is the only issue in that particular poll where he comes out ahead. This was a poll of Republicans, right?

Let’s have a real debate when the herd of candidates thins out a bit.

He’ll be at Tuesdays debate.

SNL was really grasping with the – asking for applause bit.

The actor (Darrell Hammond) looked too much like Cheney in that skit as well. Some parts were funny though.

omnipotent on October 7, 2007 at 3:14 PM

SNL knocked him for laziness; HuffPo, naturally, had hoped his wife would be insulted too.

More specifically than HuffPo, it was the always obnoxious Rachel Sklar. I don’t know why Gutfeld treats her so nicely, she comes off like another Jane Fleming to me… Maybe she makes you want to be nicer because she’s more soft-spoken and seemingly respectful… But I always get frustrated when Gutfeld let’s her slide (though it doesn’t compare to them letting Marc Lamont Hill slide, a day or two after he told H&C that Petraeus was “Betraying us”).

At any rate, WTF is this Sklar?

Fred Armisen popped in as Sam Waterson but I think I would have rather seen Kirsten Wiig or Amy Poehler crawling all over him as the nubile Jeri.

Nubile?! For f*** sake, the woman is 41 years old!!! I’m not saying there isn’t an age gap, because he is quite old, but he’s not friggin’ Hugh Hefner trotting around with a couple of 20 year old sluts on each arm, who’ve done nothing with their lives but get naked.

I shouldn’t expect any less from the libs though… forget about attacking them for legitimate reasons (like say, if the potential first spouse had repeatedly cheated on the potential president, had been accused of rape, had ignored terror when he had the chance to do something about it, etc. etc.) No, keep screaming “trophy wife”, it’s what the cool kids do Rachel. I’m sure all those idiot college kids who read HuffPo got a kick out of it anyway.

RightWinged on October 7, 2007 at 3:21 PM

As soon as I saw this last night, I knew it would be on HA today. Omnipotent is right, most of his impressions seem to slip into some form of Cheney. When he did Lou Dobbs later on, it too became Lou Cheney, or Dick Dobbs, or Lick Chobbs, or…

Weight of Glory on October 7, 2007 at 3:38 PM

Maybe this old CBS poll wasn’t that far off.

Big S on October 7, 2007 at 3:40 PM

Darrell Hammond is a riot. He’s got to be one of the all time greats no matter who he spoofs.

Texyank on October 7, 2007 at 4:06 PM

At any rate, WTF is this Sklar?
RightWinged on October 7, 2007 at 3:21 PM

She’s a liberal and a Canadian.

However, she’s incredibly hot and is featured on Red Eye occasionally.

Damian G. on October 7, 2007 at 4:07 PM

I find that with last nights SNL and this mornings Stephanopolous show. I think the left actually fears Fred. This morning everyone was on the attack while George Will sat quietly picking his nose.

Mars Needs Neocons on October 7, 2007 at 4:32 PM

he’s not friggin’ Hugh Hefner trotting around with a couple of 20 year old sluts on each arm, who’ve done nothing with their lives but get naked.

RightWinged on October 7, 2007 at 3:21 PM

I imagine RightWinged yells at his penis and cries a lot.

Nonfactor on October 7, 2007 at 4:37 PM

The comments from the HuffPos make it sound as if they think that really was Fred on SNL, what with all the rage against the GOP and everything. It wouldn’t surprise me if they are that stupid.

As for Fred’s wife, Nubile is a cheap shot, clearly intended to perpetuate the notion that she’s a trophy wife who has taken up with a dirty old man.

I saw her on Hannity and she was very impressive – more so than Fred unfortunately.

I thought the same thing from the few posts I read, I don’t think they had a clue

Just for a perspective check. Jeri cast her first vote for President in the Bush-Dukakis contest in 88.

Fred cast his in the Johnson-Goldwater contest. Three years later his current beloved would join the human race.

Bradky on October 7, 2007 at 5:56 PM

Nonfactor on October 7, 2007 at 4:37 PM

I imagine you’re a worthless troll POS who never adds anything to the discussion.

If you disagree with my point about how stupid it is for Sklar to refer to the 41 year old Jeri as “nubile”, continuing the “trophy wife” attack from the left, then do so… But don’t respond to me by taking part of my comment out of context so you can make your douchebag little remarks. My comment was CLEARLY to draw a contrast between nubile, trophy wife types, and what Jeri Thompson is, you know it you POS.

RightWinged on October 7, 2007 at 6:44 PM

According to that poll, Rudy is the best candidate on Iraq, international relations, education, taxes, immigration, reforming government, healthcare and gay marriage.

tommylotto on October 7, 2007 at 6:44 PM

Fred on abortion:

Roe v. Wade is horrible law and should be overturned. Let the stayes decide. Like I’ve said before, we shouldn’t criminalize abortion and I personally think it should be freely available, at least in the first trimester. Why else would I have accepted their money and agreed to lobby for them!?!

There’s your rabbit.

Theworldisnotenough on October 7, 2007 at 3:00 PM

Fixed that for you…

tommylotto on October 7, 2007 at 6:48 PM

when is fred’s first (and last) debate?

STOP THAT!!! You are going to confuse the soco’s who think they run the GOP

tommylotto on October 7, 2007 at 6:55 PM

But don’t respond to me by taking part of my comment out of context

RightWinged on October 7, 2007 at 6:44 PM

I guess quoting people exactly is taking them out of context now; I quoted an entire sentence, if you didn’t want attention drawn to it don’t post it in the first place.

Nonfactor on October 7, 2007 at 8:02 PM

snl is no longer funny.

madmonkphotog on October 7, 2007 at 8:32 PM

The BEST thing that could happen would be for Americans to wake up and realize this guy has absolutely nothing to offer. And, can we really stand four years of drivel, cliche’s and platitudes? I’m nauseous just thinking about it.

thedecider on October 7, 2007 at 9:52 PM

Slublog on October 7, 2007 at 5:49 PM

I have never yelled at my penis. Does this make me abnormal?

paulsur on October 7, 2007 at 9:59 PM

Ah, so troll Nonfactor stopped by, and as usual, LIAR Nonfactor followed close behind.

I guess quoting people exactly is taking them out of context now; I quoted an entire sentence, if you didn’t want attention drawn to it don’t post it in the first place.

Nonfactor on October 7, 2007 at 8:02 PM

Seriously Nonfactor, you are one of the biggest pieces of **** alive, how do you live with yourself.

Not that you don’t already know this (so I’m not sure why I’m bothering correcting you, because you’re only pretending to not understand, because your liberalism requires this level of dishonesty), but simply quoting a “whole sentence”, doesn’t mean you’ve quoted in context.

We’ve been around this circle before Nonfactor… you refuse to respond to my overall point because you really have absolutely nothing to offer… so instead you take out one sentence to make some trollish personal attack and click “submit comment”.

I’ll repost the entire exchange WITH CONTEXT so you can’t escape, as I always have to do with you, you dishonest turd:

Sklar said:

Fred Armisen popped in as Sam Waterson but I think I would have rather seen Kirsten Wiig or Amy Poehler crawling all over him as the nubile Jeri.

Nubile?! For f*** sake, the woman is 41 years old!!! I’m not saying there isn’t an age gap, because he is quite old, but he’s not friggin’ Hugh Hefner trotting around with a couple of 20 year old sluts on each arm, who’ve done nothing with their lives but get naked.

I’m sure all those idiot college kids who read HuffPo got a kick out of it anyway.

RightWinged on October 7, 2007 at 3:21 PM

To which you said (and I’m including EXACTLY what you quoted from me):

he’s not friggin’ Hugh Hefner trotting around with a couple of 20 year old sluts on each arm, who’ve done nothing with their lives but get naked.

RightWinged on October 7, 2007 at 3:21 PM

Nonfactor on October 7, 2007 at 4:37 PM

And I busted you for being the dishonest scumbag you are, and the most worthless person here, because you never offer anything but trying to start s***, without actually attacking the substance of what anyone said:

I imagine you’re a worthless troll POS who never adds anything to the discussion.

If you disagree with my point about how stupid it is for Sklar to refer to the 41 year old Jeri as “nubile”, continuing the “trophy wife” attack from the left, then do so… But don’t respond to me by taking part of my comment out of context so you can make your douchebag little remarks. My comment was CLEARLY to draw a contrast between nubile, trophy wife types, and what Jeri Thompson is, you know it you POS.

RightWinged on October 7, 2007 at 6:44 PM

And now you bring this?

I guess quoting people exactly is taking them out of context now; I quoted an entire sentence, if you didn’t want attention drawn to it don’t post it in the first place.

Nonfactor on October 7, 2007 at 8:02 PM

Oh, and here’s the best part, I once again get to call you a F***ING LIAR! YOU DID NOT QUOTE MY ENTIRE SENTENCE

Just like I’m fond of exposing lefties blatantly lying to the media, because it’s just so common in their circles they don’t even recognize how foolish they come off, you tried to say you quote “an entire sentence”… Tell me, is this:

he’s not friggin’ Hugh Hefner trotting around with a couple of 20 year old sluts on each arm, who’ve done nothing with their lives but get naked.

The same as this?

I’m not saying there isn’t an age gap, because he is quite old, but he’s not friggin’ Hugh Hefner trotting around with a couple of 20 year old sluts on each arm, who’ve done nothing with their lives but get naked.

Nope! Because YOU’RE a LIAR! (I know, what’s new, right?). Plus, you left off the context… Sklar referred to Jeri Thompson as a “nubile”, when she’s 41 years old and not just some dumb bimbo or trophy wife!!! Which goes back to why context matters, because I began the paragraph (after quoting Sklar directly):

Nubile?! For f*** sake, the woman is 41 years old!!!

Again, YOU not only took me out of context… you didn’t even attempt to respond to the point I made. You made some personal attack that didn’t even make any sense. It was so stupid I’m not even going to copy and past it again, but you know what you said was not even close to a response to my comment that Jeri is NOT what you call “nubile” or “trophy” wife. Then you LIED by saying you quoted an entire sentence.

Do you ever get tired of this? Do you ever get tired of being exposed for offering nothing (which again, you still haven’t offered anything with regard to my actual comment), and lying, being caught, and then just turning this board in to a big mess because you have some obsession with being a worthless troll?

Seriously, what do you get out of being such a POS? I’d really like to understand? If I didn’t know better, I’d think Soros pays you people to come out and do this at conservative blogs, because outside of a financial incentive, I really can’t understand what is wrong with people like you.

RightWinged on October 7, 2007 at 11:03 PM

Hmmm…penis talk. It wasn’t a surprise to discover the originator of such sophomoric dialogue introduced in the absence of any intelligent counter-point. I personally can’t stand Fred and find him to be an unworthy candidate, but I have to agree that the attacks on his wife are pointless. Yes, she’s pretty. Yes, he’s an aging B-actor who seems to make up an otherwise odd-pairing, but what does that have to do with the fact we know nothing of what Fred thinks on most any subject? How can we when he avoids a major debate and speaks in cliche’s? That is the issue I’m interested in.

thedecider on October 7, 2007 at 11:08 PM

thedecider on October 7, 2007 at 11:08 PM

Exactly, I’m not even here to “stand up for Fred” or anything like that, I’m just so sick of these stupid libs attacking this broad, just because she’s still hot in her 40s. I’m sorry, but she’s not a “nubile” Sklar, she could be a friggin’ grandmother if she’d chosen the young mother path at 20. It’s just so stupid, but Nonfactor had to bring that bull**** in here, then follow it up with a blatant lie.

RightWinged on October 7, 2007 at 11:21 PM

RightWinged on October 7, 2007 at 11:21 PM

I know. I stopped responding to “nonissue” a long, long, time ago. He lies. In fact, I recall a thread where he claimed to be black, then another where he “revealed” he was white. Who knows, perhaps he is actually a she?Apparently, and utterly, confused, Nonissue has become excatly that – a non-issue. Ignore him, and he goes away. In fact, ignore him (or her?) and he stops responding to your comments. Perhaps, some day, Allah will have mercy on us and ban the stupid lying troll for good.

thedecider on October 7, 2007 at 11:28 PM

“In the opening credits, but not all the scenes”….lmao.

SouthernGent on October 7, 2007 at 11:50 PM

Hey, I’m sensing some Fred-hate going on here. He DOES have a record in the senate folks. It’s pro-life and conservative. He’s a Fe-duh-rul-ist which is just what we could use right now. For all of you pro-abortion, anti-gun Republicans maybe Fred’s not the best choice for you, but hey…

When the war comes with Iran who do you want in the White House? The Dhems will not be divided. Will we be?

Were Fred not corrupt and therefore radioactive, and if he had something to say other than “Ah shucks that dawg don’t hunt” I might have been sympathetic to him.

The fact is he was a filthy lobbyist, he funneled money out of a PAC to his son, and his commitment to anything other than Fred Thompson is minimal. Some Federalist, he didn’t even have an opinion on what when on with Terry Shiavo.
