Just in case you thought the SNL overt endorsement of Hillary Clinton was misunderstood...

[Buzz Clik]

... they did it again.

And just in case you thought that their portrayal of Obama as an idiot was a fluke, they did it again.

And just in case you still didn't get it, Hillary Herself introduced the show, "Live from New York, it is (sic) Saturday Night." I guess she doesn't get time to watch the show.

And wasn't it funny the way the Smigel cartoon portrayed Obama as being ashamed of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton?

Gratefully, this all will end soon.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

1. Obama was on there last year.

Seems fair to let Hillary be on there, too.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. I'm having trouble keeping track of whom the Evil Biased MSM is biased against.

[MadBadger]

3. SNL isnt the MSM

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. They are NBC, which is evil.

Aren't they?

[MadBadger]

13. This is apart of the entertainment division, not the news division.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

18. So SNL isn't evil?

[MadBadger]

24. Nope SNL isnt evil...They are just trying to stay relevant

[hfojvt]

46. I think SNL is evil, just like Jay Leno used to be a major media pimp for Bush

SNL has generally been pretty kind to Bush. When Powell gave his presentation to the UN, SNL did a skit that lampooned the UN as a bunch of useless idiotic thugs. Their parodies of Bush generally make him look more intelligent that he is and less evil. I think it has an impact too. Jesse Jackson's appearance on SNL helped make me a fan of his.

[MadBadger]

WTF?? Were you watching SNL when Will Ferrell Played Bush?

Remember Strategerie?

[RaleighNCDUer]

86. I thought SNL stopped being relevant in 1981

but I'm an old fart - whada I know?

[dkf]

93. NBC has been thoroughly cowed by Hillary. Sad.

[slampoet]

102. All of their writers have been Ivy-League for 20+ years. How is that not MSM?

[Buzz Clik]

14. Gratefully, I don't buy into that consipiracy theory.

SNL has always felt that the rest of the country should understand their local humor, and we always get a heavy dose of it each week. The past two weeks have simply been a continuation of that with SNL stumping for their new-found first family. It's their show and they can do with it as they please.

And it's my remote. click

I'll watch the Wilco songs on DVR tomorrow morning.

[emilyg]

74. Yep.

click.

[BeatleBoot]

4. And March 3rd is Opening Arguments in the Rezko Trial

But at least "Obama already won".

News for you 2,025

[scheming daemons]

12. Rezko vs.. calvacade of various shady characters associated w/Clintons over the years....

...yeah... this will matter.

LOL.


You guy's have been pushing Rezko for a month.... and it continues to be a dry well for you.


The American public keeps ignoring the story.

...and they will keep on ignoring it... because there's no "there" there, with respect to Obama.

[BeatleBoot]

32. Calvacade = Tried and Tested.......Auchi (Iraq), Rezko (Syria)....not so much.

Enjoy your ass-whipping in November.

As a Democrat, I won't.

[scheming daemons]

82. You're not voting for Obama in November, so don't call yourself a "Democrat"... you're not....

[BeatleBoot]

113. Just saw what they did to Kerry in 2004

They (Rove et al) turned a War Hero into a Traitor.

And unless I've been asleep the last 4 years, those people are coming after the Dems again.

And instead of Kerry, this target is even easier.

If you don't see it, you are young and naive.

I wish him the best, but I wish the party better.

[JackORoses]

26. Tuesday night is going to be really hard for you.

[BeatleBoot]

44. Not as Bad as Monday night for you!!

:rofl:

[JackORoses]

91. What's happening on Monday night?

[BeatleBoot]

109. Go figure it out, Dr. Lennon

:rofl:

[BeatleBoot]

128. Rezko Trial in the News on Monday since its the first day of the Trial

I imagine it will get some air time.

[Kittycat]

51. I think he'll self-implode.

[Kittycat]

54. So far, the only thing worth watching was Wilco.

Dear lord, what has happened to SNL? They seriously need some new writers or something. I expected more for them being out so long... All those months of ideas brewing. This show just sucks :(

And who is this host? Juno? I didn't see Juno, but this girl is a horrible actress - unless that's the part they're casting her.

[BeatleBoot]

61. I wish you the best!

No implosion for me.

Nothing's going to change my world.

[JackORoses]

89. I think John Lennon would be disappointed in your choice of candidate.

He would likely plant a Beatle Boot in your ass for most of your posts here.

[BeatleBoot]

96. This might mean something

if I valued your opinion.

But I don't.

Sorry.

[JackORoses]

101. I think you know how Lennon would react to Hillary. You do respect his opinion, right?

Why didn't Hillary Give Peace a Chance when she voted for the IWR?

[BeatleBoot]

104. Why didn't Obama vote on the IWR?

Oh yeah, because he wasn't even in the game.

He never had a chance to take responsibility, did he?

He's really good at being an Armchair Quarterback.

It's fun for people to throw stones, when they never had any responsibility, isn't it?

"I would have done it differently 5 years ago, if I was a player, but I wasn't even on the team."

Sissy argument on Obama's part.

He needs more testosterone.

[Beacool]

111. That's why it's so important that Hillary hang in there for now.

Who knows what will come out of the Rezko trial.

[Exilednight]

6. Don't worry, after last week's poor start to a season, no one is watching SNL.

[Skip Intro]

88. Last week's show was the highest rated SNL show in two years.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/television/news/e3ic1abd1883d21563714df0eae79b4d0c3

[Beacool]

112. Shhh, if it's something favorable to Hillary they don't want to hear it.

How dare she run against the Anointed One.........



:eyes:

[sniffa]

7. I look forward to HRC's campaign email for money tomorrow

I'm sure she'll use SNL as her basis for $ donations again.

[ruggerson]

8. You sound bitter about the whole thing

[Buzz Clik]

19. Bitter? That wouldn't be my word. Disappointed for sure.

[ruggerson]

47. in all fairness

you have to admit Obama has gotten the lion's share of positive media this cycle. So this is just a little Karma. Don't be disappointed - it's not like she had four solid months of MSNBC promoting her and dissing Barack. It was the other way around.

[Buzz Clik]

70. I watch very little television beyond sports. But, I will agree...

Olbermann over the past weeks has been very harsh in his criticism of Clinton. He'll hammer on Obama every now and then, but nothing like the punishment he dishes out to her.

I find it annoying.

[AZBlue]

9. I couldn't be more disappointed in SNL.

Have they always taken sides so obviously in primaries? I don't remember it but I don't follow SNL that much - and now I know why...

[mtnsnake]

10. waaaahHHHHH

Cry us all a river!

[Buzz Clik]

29. Ah, yes. Our favorite Hillary apologist and spewer of excessive lamentations.

What would a thread in GD-P be without the snake? (reasonable? rational? I didn't say that...)

I'll remind you of your little comment in one of your many sob-filled threads tomorrow.

[mtnsnake]

39. Pleasant dreams tonight, Buzz

Dam she was pretty tonight and funny, to. :smoke:

[Buzz Clik]

69. Always do, snake. My interest in this forum ends when I stand up from my computer.

I can look forward to your endless bitterness tomorrow.

Have a good one.

[high density]

11. I don't think they're "endorsing" Hillary

IMO she didn't look good in the debate sketch, nor did her live appearance really mean much of anything.

But Fred Armisen's 'impression' of Obama really sucks. I like the guy but he's not a good Obama at all.

[BenDavid]

15. I think I know what tis a happening. The women on this show

have stood their ground and told the suits they are ashamed of how HRC has had so much sexism aimed at her and all the negative stories they thought it was damn unfair.There is going to be one hell of an uprising come Tuesday and the woman folk will make their voices heard.

I think they would rather have a man like Bill as first gentleman that knows what the hell he is talking about then maybe a potential first lady like Michelle obama that speaks with forked tongue...

[NYCGirl]

21. "Women folk"? Welcome to 1860.

:rofl:

[Skittles]

27. that's WIMMIN FOLK,, NYCGIRL!!!!!!

:rofl:

[NYCGirl]

35. Excuse me, I have to go beat the laundry against a rock at the lake now.

:rofl:

[ruggerson]

63. Grab me a beer while you're up, wouldja?

;)

[NYCGirl]

65. Yes, dear.

:P

[Skittles]

73. I'M A-SQUEEZIN' INTO ME GIRDLE AS WE SPEAK, NYCGIRL!!!

YEE HAW!!!!!!!!!

[slampoet]

103. "Women Folk" is actively used in the South and by ethnicities with Southern roots.

Don't be so yankee please.

[OhioBlue]

40. where did you get this from???

"the women folk will make their voices heard"
"speaks with forked tounge"

lol.

[Skittles]

75. I couldn't even get that far

FORKED TONGUE!! OMG MICHELLE OBAMA IS A SNAKE!! :o

[Buzz Clik]

41. My goodness. Such inconsistency, all in one thread!

So, saying Michelle Obama "speaks with forked tongue" isn't offensive? Damn. You covered three groups with one slur. Efficient for sure, but ... damn!

And by the way, it would be common courtesy to at least capitalize her name when insulting her. Otherwise, it kinda makes you look like a raging hypocrite.

[Forkboy]

87. ......

[DemGa]

16. Oh boo hoo Obamanation -- BOO HOO!

[Lucinda]

17. I only saw the last part of the cartoon so I was hoping there was something

redeeming in the first part. It truly sucked.

[Maddy McCall]

20. Sour grapes. By the way, she's going to be on the Daily Show monday nite.

Just a heads up for ya.

:D

[Buzz Clik]

I'm way ahead of you. I already have the DVR set to record it.

We can be guaranteed that Jon will treat her with great respect and, as he does with his guests, will do everything to make us like her.

[Skittles]

22. BUT weren't y'all screaming last week NO ONE WATCHES SNL?

so why the FUCK would it matter?

[Maddy McCall]

25. Hey, Skittles.

:hi:

Anyone called you a Hillary supporter this week?

:rofl:

[Skittles]

31. oh about a dozen

it's gotten downright boring :D :hi:

[Maddy McCall]

37. Those silly people.

They evidently don't know your ass-kickin' abilities. :D

[Buzz Clik]

49. You're addressing me, so -- no. I watch SNL every week. Even the endless reruns.

[Skittles]

71. addressing "y'all"

Texan for inclusive group :D

[TexasObserver]

23. Hopefully, their next week's opening can be Hillary being led away in a strait jacket ...

... after losing all four states this week.

[Honeycombe8]

28. Well, Obama IS being careful to keep Jackson & Sharpton behind the doors.

I don't fault him for that. They support Obama, but they are more along black activist lines than American politicians for all races. It's something that is necessary be done.

I am an Obama supporter, BTW. I hope voters realize that Jackson and Sharpton are in Obama's corner and are not surprised by this later. I know it, and I voted for him, anyway.

[Maddy McCall]

33. I hope that you never call a Hillary supporter a racist...

because this post reeks of it.

[Honeycombe8]

80. Silly rabbit. I am repeating what Jackson alluded to on CNN. Get it?

I think you can, if you put on your thinking cap. It's called campaign strategy.

Neither Sharpton nor Jackson are wildly popular throughout middle America...particularly Sharpton, whose claim to fame is as a black activist.

Jackson endorsed Obama. Jackson's wife endorsed Hillary. Sharpton has not officially endorsed, but he supports Obama (I heard him say this in an interview on TV).

Jackson earlier alluded to why he wasn't more in the forefront, since he'd endorsed Obama. I forget the exact words, but he said something along the lines that he and others understood that for the time being, it was necessary that Obama control his campaign a certain way.

That is not racist. But since I'm sure you haven't missed Obama's race being discussed on TV a lot, it seems it would be savvy for his campaign to conduct itself in such a way as not to stir the pot, so to speak. That is reality. And it is smart. And Obama is winning.

[MadBadger]

34. Sharpton hasnt endorsed anybody.

[Honeycombe8]

76. No, but he is in Obama's corner. Jackson has endorsed. nt

[Recursion]

124. That's a bit simplistic (I'm a bit of a Sharpton follower)

For that matter, I voted for Sharpton in the primary in '04 (mostly for his position on DC voting rights). He's been very circumspect about Obama so far. Some have speculated that he's being "reined in" (by whom or how is never made clear); I think he's just rather disappointed in Obama and Clinton, or he calculates that his endorsement wouldn't really help anybody either way.

[Buzz Clik]

55. Obama controls Jackson and Sharpton? Are you suggesting he owns them?

FYI -- Jackson was on Countdown after Bill O'Reilly's hideous non-apology for the Michelle Obama/lynching remark. Jackson made it perfectly clear that he endorses no one, that he strongly supports both candidates.

Smigel's cartoon is funny if you live in a vacuum...

[Honeycombe8]

78. Too late. I heard Jackson endorse Obama. Obama IS keeping Jackson &

Sharpton at bay for the campaign.

Jackson alluded to this on CNN earlier....about 6 weeks ago? 2 months ago? It is a necessary campaign strategy.

[MidwestTransplant]

83. Any Dem candidate does the same thing.

[scheming daemons]

30. Hillary's appearance on SNL will do for her campaign what Huckabee's appearance did last week....

...for him.


Namely... not a damn thing.

[mtnsnake]

58. It gave me some laughs and a little satisfaction. That's enough for me.

Some people are taking this too seriously I think (not you).

[NoodleyAppendage]

36. GE = War Profiteer. Which Dem is more likely to perpetuate conflict? You have your answer. n/t

J

[Johnny__Motown]

38. It's a comedy show. Can't take it seriously. Let's see how Jon Stewart treats her Monday

After this "endorsement" he might be a little harder on her.

[Buzz Clik]

60. Last week's show was a bit of a head scratcher. A "wtf?" moment.

But, Tina Fey was the one who really came out with the big push, and she was the guest host. So, I shrugged it off.

Tonight, SNL made it clear that Tina had it right.

[Johnny__Motown]

68. I agree , it looks pro Clinton to me too, but better to shrug it off

[northzax]

42. well, she is the senator from new york

Odd she would be on a show that features new York prominently. And I forget, when obama was on, did it look like an endorsement of him?

[tabasco]

43. She doesn't have time to get her tax info to the public

but she has time for this.

[casus belli]

45. The TV Funhouse sketch wasn't funny at all

But then again, it rarely is anymore. I don't know why they still run it.

[Buzz Clik]

62. I agree. It lost almost all of its punch when Smigel wouldn't let go of the Ambiguously Gay Duo.

[polticalpout]

48. I thought the skit was funny.

They attacked their own company (MSNBC) more than anyone in it.

And are we sure Obama wasn't asked to fly in and make an appearence? Personally the live Hillary appearence didn't do anything for her and I think it would have been better for her to have stay on the trail. Maybe she's going to be in another skit?

[Omega3]

50. OP: thanks for the laugh, how those sour grapes tasting????

[Kittycat]

57. Sour Grapes? HRC is the one losing this thing.

Keep in mind, she needs 65% of the vote on Tuesday.

[Buzz Clik]

67. Sour grapes? You've got your fables crossed wired.

I'm disappointed with the opening, but I'm not pretending I don't like the show. I'll be watching it again next week.

I was watching even when it sucked horribly. When Eddie Murphy had no supporting cast. When Goat Boy made his 25th appearance, and Weekend Update flopped week after hideous week.

No sour grapes here. Sorry to disappoint you.

[Omega3]

84. he was already on, i'm sure that show was just peachy-keen, waste of a thread

[The_Casual_Observer]

52. Laughing at Obama? Were they struck by lightning?

[Seen the light]

53. Oh who cares?

Honestly.

[underpants]

56. I usually like Smigel cartoons but that one was unfunny and stupid

and yes I got the joke-Obama is keeping Jesse and Al as far away from him as possible.

No one seemed to have a problem with the DC establishment press when it had anointed her nominee and probable President (last year) but now she pulls a page right out of the Republican victimization playbook

[loveangelc]

59. what was the skit? what happened?

[Eric J in MN]

94. The show opened with a debate skit in which...

...Amy Poehler played Hillary Clinton. In the skit, the moderators of the debate (Brian Williams and Tim Russert) show favoritism towards Obama.

Then they introduced an "Editorial Response" in which the real Hillary Clinton said that is what the debate felt like, and then Amy Poehler came onstage, still acting like Hillary Clinton, and Clinton complimented her on her impression, and then Clinton said "Live from New York..."

[MadBadger]

64. RUDY GOT LOUDER APPLAUSE!!!!

[hfojvt]

66. Hillary has been getting good media treatment all over the M$M

PBS featured about five or ten minutes of her speaking against Obama without anywhere near equal time for Obama, and the CBS News profile was much kinder to her than it was to Obama. I think seriously that a) she has lots of corporate support, and b) the M$M wants the Democratic primary to go on as long as possible, and c) sometimes "working the refs" does help your team.

[emilyg]

77. Oh, please.

[hfojvt]

85. did you see the CBS piece? She couldn't have written a better ad if she tried

[Buzz Clik]

121. You don't seem to understand -- the "MSM hates Hillary" campaign has a specific focus.

All Hillary supporters engage in 24/7 whining about negative treatment by the mainstream media. That way, any legitimate criticism can be simply lumped into the "See? They're at it again!" category. Likewise, when positive things come out, they point it out and proclaim, "That's right! The NYT has always hated Hillary, so if they endorse Hillary, then it's because Hillary is clearly superior."

Rove orchestrated this strategy for 6 nauseating years. And now it's back.

Change is good.

[OhioBlue]

72. Hillary at SNL

Seriously - it wasn't good for her. I can't believe she blew off Columbus for that.

[Eric J in MN]

95. I disagree. She reached more people that way...

...then she would have with a typical campaign event.

[CatnHat]

106. No

She will be in Columbus in the morning.

[zulchzulu]

79. My take on the SNL appearance and Smigel cartoon

I'm pretty convinced (and you can bookmark this) that Hillary Clinton will drop out this coming week in New York and her appearance at the end seemed to be in the same vibe that Al Gore's appearance was when he was on SNL after not running in 2008. Hillary Clinton knows she is a "brand" and this appearance was a first step on her recovery from a tragically mishandled campaign. She'll be in NYC this week and concede. Then she will move on.

As for the Smigel toon, it was well done and had some unfortunate truths in how Obama has had to deal with Jackson and Sharpton, who at various times before Obama's success, were saying he wasn't "black enough". Now they want to get on the Bandwagon. Of course, Obama is cautious with ther newfound love for his candidacy. Yes, the toon was a little over the top, but that's what good humor does to people when its brand is to be politically edgy.

I thought Hillary did well and I laughed at the toon. It's SNL ferchrissakes!

[MadBadger]

90. Recent polling trends in TX has made me uncomfortable

Though recent polling trends in Ohio have me feel better about there. So I'm not about to write her off there yet because as it looks to me, they are tied in TX and OH.

[zulchzulu]

97. We'll see...perhaps at Brocach...

I heard there will be a party there to watch the results. A pint is waiting for you...

[MadBadger]

115. Midterms will keep me busy

[AtomicKitten]

100. I came to the conclusion it's a NY "thang."

She's on Jon Stewart Monday, she was all over Letterman Friday night, and now SNL. I wonder if this qualifies as enough attention to stop her sniveling.

[MidwestTransplant]

81. I thought the opening debate skit was stupid but the cartoon was HILARIOUS!

And I am an Obama supporter.

[cooolandrew]

92. That won't impress african american voters. Plus to be fiar it is flmed in NYC.

[THUNDER HANDS]

98. i watched it....hardly an endorsement

they basically said she's an uber bitch who will be sucessful because she'll nag everyone until they give her what she wants and she'll shut up.

Really, it was almost verbatum.

And the Obama cartoon wasn't a knock on him, as much as it was a knock on Sharpton and Jackson, who want to attach their attention-seeking selves to the Obama campaign.

[Buzz Clik]

116. Bill Clinton called it an endorsement. He says he called Tina Fey and thanked her.

Amy Poehler said the Hillary campaign called her and asked her to formalize the endorsement.

Did you watch the same show that everyone else watched?

... and your "verbatum" quote was not even a good paraphrase.

[Alizaryn]

99. The entire thing was disgusting.

That's the last time I'm watching SNL.

[redstate_democrat]

105. I didn't get a chance to catch SNL

You mean to tell me Hillary actually went on the show? SNL is really showing its true colors. Now, if SNL was treating Obama with such blatant favoritism, then she would be calling them sexists and talking about the MSM being unfair to her. I just call it like I see it. I need to get a clip of this so I can see it. I wonder if it is up yet?

[dcindian]

107. SNL just has self interest in mind

Sure why not do their best to get Hillary elected. She makes their job that much easier.

[CatnHat]

108. NY loves Hillary

Ain't no doubt about it!

[Buzz Clik]

119. No doubt about it. And SNL seems to forget that their show is broadcast nationally.

They need to get out more often.

[NastyRiffraff]

110. My God, get a grip people!

It's a COMEDY show! Ye gods, I can't believe what I'm reading here. You're acting like ABC endorsed her (not that they would, in a million years).

Of all the things to get excised over, a candidate appearing on a comedy show? Sheesh.

[Buzz Clik]

117. You seriously missed the point. And SNL is on NBC, not ABC.

Obama has been on the show, and Hillary's personal appearance was brief -- though it was a 30-second appeal for votes in Texas, Ohio, and Rhode Island.

If you didn't see the show, there really isn't much to talk about here.

[LibertyorDeath]

114. SNL has been SHIT for years

MAD TV on it's worst day is better than the shite Lorne Michaels calls SNL

They should shut the fuck up and Listen

That's the sound of a Tsunami the OBAMA TSUNAMI !

and it's going to crush their Shit DLC Corporate candidate into bits...

[terrya]

118. That disgusting, evil, loathsome Lorne Michaels

Singlehandedly using his vast powers to throw the nomination to that evil Hillary! And...he's CANADIAN, also. Just stop and think about THAT.

Oh, by the way:

:eyes:

[Buzz Clik]

122. I don't recall Michaels being mentioned at all. That is, until you brought him into the equation.

Michaels isn't loathesome, and your entire post is pure hyperbole.

SNL has the right to its opinion, and but when they put it forward as they did, they can look forward to some serious criticism.

Oh, by the way:

A smilie is a poor substitute for reasonable discourse.

[workinclasszero]

120. SNL is the joke

How many 60+ year old women watch SNL anyway.:shrug:

Lots apparently.

Gee I remember when they were the cutting edge of society in the 70's...shows how old I am lol.:)

[TexasObserver]

123. SNL sucked before the writer's strike, and has sucked harder since.

Turned it off when the cartoon started. I can watch Hillary commercials on any channel, and they're not as long and as bad.

I'm boycotting 30 Rock, too. Done with Tina Fey. She can go to work for Hillary as a senate staffer after Hillary finally gets taken away in a strait jacket from the presidential campaign.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

125. She Did Great! I Love Seeing Our Dems Do Stuff Like That. Her Applause Was Awesome!

You didn't enjoy it? I thought it was a great appearance. And the smigel cartoon was really funny too, though the ending was a bit weak. But I'm not really sure what the complaints are all about. She did a good job, the debate re-enactment was hilarious, and it was all in good fun. It was great to see her light hearted like that. She looked refreshed! Good on her for doin the show. She did great!

[Thrill]

126. The Hillary campaign has tried everything to win

Now this will make losses in TX and OH all the more worst for her

[Upton]

127. SNL is pimpin' themselves for Hillary

I find it strange they're so blatantly favoring one candidate over another.

[Hieronymus]

129. She was good, but I caught the "Live from New York, it is [sic] Saturday ....

Night. I think she just has trouble relaxing and being real. They have tried to teach her how to, but little things give it away.

[Buzz Clik]

130. By the way --- this morning I went back and picked up the Wilco performances on DVR.

Outstanding.

:thumbsup:

I will be happy when this campaign season comes to a close.

[milkyway]

131. It's been a painfully unfunny show for years. No reason to watch unless you want to see the musical

guest.

It's hard to understand how John Stewart can have a lot more laughs in a five-minute clip than SNL can come up with in an entire season. Don't they pay their staff?
