I agree that it seems like a campaign ad…

For the Republicans. ;)

[...] Clinton, meanwhile, is still taking grief over the Hillarycare documents issue that Tim Russert raised during the debate last week. The field is opening up for an aggressive challenger to start chipping away at Hillary’s lead. Edwards goes on ABC to talk policy and criticize Clinton directly (and sound mostly sane in the interview), while Obama goes on SNL to play dress-up. [...]

I thought it was funny that they had to refer to everyone with their full names. It seems that when I was younger, the SNL cast was much more adept at portraying celebrities and politicians.

I think it was a reference to the stupid tasks that VP’s are generally regulated to.

Seeing a snippet of “The Weekend Update” a week or so ago, they made a joke about Bush vetoing the S-CHIP bill because he hates children.

It was then that I realized how much I miss “The Half Hour News Hour”. Because as pedestrian as it was most of the time, it was just as funny as Daily Show, Colbert, or SNL’s drivel. South Park lampooned pulling out children as political props years ago. And then SNL thinks it’s being so original.

All that said, this made me chuckle, and extra credit to them for making fun of the Hillary laugh.

Mike Gravel walking straight into the camera is the kind of wonky joke that had me chortling.

That was actually pretty funny. The Bill Richardson one was VERY funny and my favorite part.

Obama would make a great president, if he wasn’t completely wrong on almost every single issue.

I don’t know which is scarier; Shrillary’s socialist agenda or Obama’s idiodic outlook on foreign policy.

I am not a huge Guiliani fan, but I would vote for him in a New York minute in order to keep either of these tools out of the Oval Office.

the “go get us some ice” thingseems to me to have been an actual racial smear, as opposed to the phoney assertion of on with the corker ad.

well, i suppose this isn’t as bad as that “jihadist maddrassah” story the hillary people tried to float through insight magazine, but still, isn’t this a campaign finance violation? it’s practicly an ad.

funny though. i have to admit that the snl curse seems to be over.

Thank God for the Internet; I can watch the funny bits without sitting through the other 85 minutes. :)

I wonder if that “get some ice” bit with Bill Richardson was an intentional double entendre, or just an accidental reference.

Surely an accident, which makes it even funnier.

This was a lot easier to watch when the Left-friendly SNL make fun of their own. I didn’t have a problem with Barrack showing up and doing this skit any more than Bill Clinton playing the saxophone on Arsenio Hall’s old show.

Any place in which candidates expose themselves is not a bad thing, IMHO. I just wished that they would go seek out the tougher crowds and earn their dues. At least then we can make the comparisons between those who pander and those who are consistent.

Thanks for posting that, Michelle. :)

Correction, it was “rock the vote” for years, but P Diddy updated it to “Vote or Die” in 2004. You know, because that way they could sneak in their anti-war crap right in the name, while playing innocent. (The subliminal message was obviously Bush=war=draft)

RightWinged on November 4, 2007 at 10:27 AM

I knew “rock the vote” was wrong, but I couldn’t remember what the other one was. Thanks, RW!!!!

“Vote or Die”, huh? So did the kids who didn’t vote but participated in this campaign in fact die? Yeah, I didn’t think so.

And where’s the draft again? Oh, that’s right, they didn’t need it. Who wants a bunch of stoners who watch MTV and SNL in the military anyway?

I didn’t start regularly voting until I was out of the MTV demographic of 14(ish) to 25. Which is funny that they base a campaign to vote towards kids who aren’t even of age. Logic, thy name isn’t MTV or P. Diddy (or whatever the heck he’s calling himself now).

Okay, something is really going on with the Best Blog voting. In a span of about 10 seconds, the vote total for PostSecret went up 25 votes.
