First one gave me a hernia. The part where Pelosi hits that low vibrato …wow (wipes tears, tries to breathe…breathe…)

The second, well, I bet the real Murtha’s reaction to it would be funny.

[...] Looking for a better written and delivered mockerky of Jack Murtha’s comments? Here’s KTLA’s transcript from this weekend’s “Saturday Night Live.” And video at Hot Air. [...]

Kristen Wiig has Nancy Pelosi down pat…

Bill Hayder (playing Bill ayeres) might want to be careful opening up his mail though..

I doubt Ayers has much in the way of a sense of humor..

If they are starting to parody the Democrats, maybe they are afraid the Republicans won’t be around much longer.

Let’s show them they were wrong.

Think maybe with the rating for Palin’s night one of the Producers thought, “hey I have an idea”?

sooooo who thought it would be a good idea to portray Michelle Obama as Marie Osmond?

The problem with these strained skits is that they are obviously put out there so SNL can say, “see we roast both sides”. The vitriol they put into the Republican thrashing is replaced with cute and fluffy jabs delivered with a wink, wink, nod nod.

Still NOT ONE parody of Obama giving a speech. Watch him sometime…..head turning back / forth to see the tele prompter….eyebrows furrowed…….tone of the dominant dictator

It is already a parody

I was thinkin’ about wearing an Obama costume for Holloween but after further consideration, I decided I’d get really tired of people genuflecting at my feet…

I thought the Biden/Murtha skit was pretty funny.

The audience, on the other hand, didn’t seem to appreciate the humor.

Okay, first of all, Maya Rudolf plays every black woman character on the show, and she’s HORRIBLE at every one, and it almost always just turns in to her doing some sort of horrible Tina Turner style singing. Nothing about her said “Michelle Obama”. Also, while I’m shocked that NBC (and the Obama campaign, who you know the show checked in with) allowed Ayers and Wright to be mentioned. Though you’ll notice, their part lasts for barely a second, and doesn’t really “hit” Obama on the reasons that they’re issues.

As for Biden/Murtha piece… was I the only one who felt like the crowd didn’t get the jokes, because the media has so filtered these gaffs, that the numskull liberals who watch this show simply didn’t understand where the material was coming from. I felt like there was polite chuckling, but I seriously don’t think that the audience had a clue why it was funny. And that is why I’m joining our pessimistic blogger in feeling like we are f**ked come Nov. 4. Except I assume Allah believes we (the United States) can recover from a President Obama, where as I think his election signifies the beginning of the end.

I think SNL was starting to feel some heat for their pro-Obama, anti-McCain skits and now are going after the Democrats a bit.

A bit, but the audience doesn’t seem to know quite how to respond.

It kinda seems to me they did the Murtha/Biden sketch to use as capital for whatever they have planned for next Thursday and Saturday.

There needs to some sort of unified response, like everyone putting it on the same station that’s not broadcasting the Barack Obama show. – Dead Hand Control on October 26, 2008 at 3:46 PM

Chances are that it will happen without any call for unified action. By then, most people will be sick of seeing and hearing him. After five minutes, they’ll click the remote.

I thought both were pretty funny, and what’s funnier is the audience’s barely laughing, proving once again libs can laugh at anything but the silliness of their own beliefs and the politicians airing same. Guess Saturday Night Live will be verboten in a , God Forbid, Obamanation Administration. Better get in all your anti Obama posts now, in a worst case scenario the Dem Congress with BHO at the helm would impose the fairness doctrine on the internet as well.

Hey, what are we doing on the evening that Dear Leader takes over the airwaves? There needs to some sort of unified response, like everyone putting it on the same station that’s not broadcasting the Barack Obama show.
