Seems like I've got to add disclaimers before every O.P.
Just want to say, before this sinks like a rock, that I had to spend A LOT of time Googling to find this ONE reference to the Tweety joke from last night's Weekend Update. What might not be understood (since perhaps others turn it off like me when Weekend Update is over) is that this Search entailed having to WADE through TONS of items about somebody named "Zac EPHRON" (? Somebody related to Nora EPHRON?!1) and how some SNL regular named "Jason SUDEIKIS" gave him a foot rub and toe sucking.
This was above and beyond the call of duty just to gig Tweety one more time. So, may All feel guilty about letting this sink like a rock!1

MSNBC's Chris Matthews, infamous for getting a “thrill” up his leg while drinking in a speech by Barack Obama and his ongoing adoration for the President (“He is the new us!”), became the punch line of a joke on NBC's own Saturday Night Live.
During the Weekend Update segment on the April 11 show, SNL's news anchor, Seth Myers(sic), delivered this “news” item, illustrated by a creative matching graphic:
"A new comic is being published this summer called 'Barack the Barbarian' which features the President in a loin cloth. Also featuring the President in a loin cloth: Chris Matthews' daydreams."
Not that much of a stretch. Or maybe no stretch at all.
