Lowlight reel: Today's comedians suck up to Obama, Clinton, and the Democrats

Before her appearance, Strong talked with MSNBC’s Ronan Farrow about the courage of Colbert’s WHCD routine in 2006, when he absolutely roasted President Bush sitting a few feet away. (This remains one of the greatest things liberals have ever experienced to this day). Strong also mentioned how “cool” President Obama was, with Farrow agreeing enthusiastically.

Contrast that to 2009, when newly elected President Obama was treated to a routine by Wanda Sykes declaring, “It’s hard to poke fun at the president, because he’s so likable … People love you!”

Fellow SNL cast member Kate McKinnon, who has hilariously portrayed Clinton in 2015 as a slightly maniacal, un-hip, power-hungry bundle of nerves, told a roundtable of female comedians hosted by the Hollywood Reporter that she’s “rooting for her, obviously.” She added she finds Clinton “resplendent.”
