Thanks, SNL

[THUNDER HANDS]

First you kill Gore.

Then you kill Kerry.

Now you pump up the most divisive candidate we could possibly nominate.

Please. Stay out of politics from now on.


You're not helping.

[Fox Mulder]

1. What'd they reach...ten people?

I don't think SNL played a role in this.

[hooraydems06]

30. That's not true...

... and you do a disservice when you underestimate the kind of damage portions of the MSM, such as SNL, can do the political climate. However, you're right that they certainly didn't impact as many people as the NAFTA non-scandal "scandals" did; it's a shame that I heard similar sentiments from people on other blogs about how Ohio don't watch cable news channels, nor that they "know how to find Canada on a map" (as if that has anything to do with being affected by "dirt" against a given political candidate). It would be more accurate to say they (SNL) reached something more in the neighborhood of ten thousand people.

[Metric System]

2. Would you like some cheese to go with your whine?

[Bake]

48. I think we need a fleet of WAAAAAAAAHMBULANCES tonight!

Oh, the humanity!

Bake

[samdogmom]

3. Thank you! Well said! K& R

[Tarc]

19. How can anyone bring themselves to reccommend this whining tripe?

Seriously, you losers are blaming A TV SHOW??? Put down the kool-aid glass for one moment and try to see how ridiculous you sound.

[samdogmom]

31. Maybe I'm sounding a bit ridiculous. But guess what?

At the same time Hillary was authorizing Dubya to go to war with Iraq--I was standing on corners with signs telling the world I KNEW--NOT THOUGHT--BUT KNEW THAT HE WAS LYING!

I was an ordinary citizen, with no special access and I could see through Dubya's bullshit. WHY COULDN'T HILLARY? She's obviously not very bright (which I don't believe for one minute) or a huge corporate/war profiteer supporter (which I DO BELIEVE WHOLE HEARTEDLY!) I do not support her candidacy for President because she's lying about her reason for her vote to authorize the war in Iraq. If she lies about this...she'll lie about other things too.

End of story.

[Tarc]

41. And not long after, your Emperor With No Clothes, Obama,

was voting to fund the war, vote after vote after vote.

[samdogmom]

44. Different story. Different ending. Sorry.

You know it, too. You're afraid to admit that your girl made a huge blunder and now she's too proud to admit her mistake! Doesn't bode well for her.

Big people admit when they're wrong and move on. Hillary can't seem to do this. WHY?

[Tarc]

50. She has said on numerous occasions

that she would not vote the same knowing what we know now. Hillary Clinton didn't mewl and grovel at the feet of the netroots and progressives, saying "I'm sorry, I'm sorry" the way that Edwards and Kerry did.

That is the craw that sticks in your throat, but guess what? No one else cares.

[Tarc]

4. Ahh yes, blame a comedy skit show for Obama's shortfall?

:eyes:

Are you really this fucking pathetic? People are finally realizing, perhaps belatedly, that there's really not much substance to Obama's "hope and change" dance.

[aquart]

8. "Much" substance? Dare you to find ANY.

[46and2]

LOL!!

Riiiight, SNL is the reason Hilary had a resurgence tonight... That is truly ridiculous.

[cboy4]

5. Magic Rat, you need to breathe into a paper bag.

LOL

[Clintonista2]

6. WAAAAAAAAAAH! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

[sueragingroz]

24. kinda like this?

[Seabiscuit]

36. Or this?

[Hoof Hearted]

37. Damn that's cute!

How expressive!

[aquart]

7. Obama supporters sneer at Hillary voters but Hillary is divisive.

Say what?

[judaspriestess]

9. LOL another spooge thread

HIGHlarious.

SNL is to blame?:crazy:

[Hoof Hearted]

15. The best part is it's 1/3 of his allowance.

I think we should kick it mercilessly.

[Hoof Hearted]

10. Ah, I see.

Better suck that lower lip back in, you're going to trip on it.

[fortyfeetunder]

11. And while you are at it, thanks to 60 Minutes too.

What a crock of sh!t!!!!

[sykalla2]

12. WHHHHHIIIIINNNNNEEEE WWWWHHHHHIIIINNNNNEEEE *NT*

[zulchzulu]

13. Back when SNL was actually funny, if a political candidate showed up on stage...

...they would have been skewered and tossed off to the dogs.

SNL is for those that can't get dates on a Saturday Night.

[Tellurian]

39. You're Lucky there was a writer's strike..

and parody's of Obama have been few. Wait until they hold a mock trial with Obama as a key witness for Rezko's propensity for influence pedaling and owning politicians. :rofl:

[Maddy McCall]

14. Here. Have a glass of sour grape juice.

[Cant trust em]

16. Political spoofs aren't new to SNL. But why do they pick this week?

Seems like they were trying to make something happen. If they didn't want to seem like they were promoting a candidate they should have done this next weekend.

[RetroLounge]

17. OMG, are you serious?

:rofl:

RL

[ronnykmarshall]

18. Bitter much?

[BlueStater]

Who the hell actually watches SNL anymore?

Give me a break.

[sandnsea]

20. And then they'll kill her in the GE

I wondered how much Obama's rise and the writer's strike had to do with each other.

[Lex]

21. It's Saturday Night Live's fault?!!1

OMG. :rofl:

[sueragingroz]

22. you should thank Goolsbee

Obama should have

a) found out the story before mouthing off to the press that nothing happened and
b) fired his ass for running off at the mouth with a foreign government without his permission.


That is who you should thank. The late voters broke for Clinton over credibility.


Although the exposure of the media bias by SNL didn't help matters for Obama :)

[MonkeyFunk]

23. Damn

you guys are having a full-fledged meltdown.

[ronnykmarshall]

29. No shit.

What a shocker from this one, eh?

[durrrty libby]

25. They are a great help. I love them

[FyurFly]

26. God Bless SNL

Time to question Obama harder...Rezko...his sharia lovin brother....

[SaveOurDemocracy]

27. Don't forget ... "The Daily Show" ....

IT'S JON STEWARTS FAULT!!! :silly:

[RememberWellstone]

28. I thought it was Rove?

Or was it Limbjaw? Or was it the picture or the Muslim reference or the Hussein or the law suit or the media...God, just let the man run his campaign without whinning.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

32. ROFLMAO!!!!!!

[Skittles]

34. it is pretty hilarious

:rofl:

[Skittles]

33. last week y'all said no one watches SNL

now you're saying SNL can make or break a candidacy? WHICH ONE IS IT???

[THUNDER HANDS]

35. i never said nobody watches it...i watch it all the time, I'm a huge fan

but it's also been a show that gets HUGE play in the news media when they parody our candidates.

I'm not saying they decide the election, but they don't do anything that helps our candidates - and in certain instances, influences how the campaigns and candidates are covered.

Since SNL came back on the air the media coverage of Clinton changed dramatically. She became THE story, and not Obama, who should have been the story, considering he was on an 11-win streak.

[MoonRiver]

38. I'm sure SNL would have loved to have had Obama on.

But I guess that would have been too undignified for the Hope Guy.

[THUNDER HANDS]

40. Obama was on SNL

before the strike.

[MoonRiver]

42. Didn't know that.

Maybe he should have appeared again? :shrug:

Anyway, I really doubt that Hillary's skit influenced anybody. Personally, I believe it was NAFTA and Rezko.

[Bake]

49. Damn those writers!!

They did that whole strike thing just to torpedo Obama! The bastards!

:sarcasm:

Bake

[Skittles]

45. I think it was the bias in the coverage that caught their attention

it caught the attention of a LOT of people

[moondust]

43. MSM does this.

The Sunday right before the New Hampshire primary Russert had McCain on (for a free TV hour). Face the Nation had McCain on the same day. The Sunday right before the Florida primary Russert had McCain on again! They knew McCain had to win those primaries to stay in it.

[Milo_Bloom]

46. SNL had nothing to do with it.

It had to do with gutter politics, which wins you short skirmishes, but, luckily, not the whole thing.

[sjdnb]

47. More O sour grapes ...

do you folks just feel the need to attack everyone/anyone if your candidate doesn't win?
