I dont think anyone would consider McCain young.

I don’t think this stuff is particularly unfair or offensive, I agree with most of the stuff on this sight, but when talking about SNL, this was actually pretty funney.

I mean think of all the jokes they made after Clinton got his bj.
They are just jokes people, don’t take it too seriously.

Al Franken is a total douchbag by they way.

It is a free commercial, written by a Democratic Senate candidate, that calls McCain a fear-mongering old man who hates brown people. And it will be viewed by many more people than any paid advertisment would ever be viewed.

No wonder Obama doesn’t think he needs federal financing. He’s got much better commercial support.

for the demise of GHW Bush than any policy decision or campaign missteps he made. By that time I’d lost any interest in SNL, but my wife would still watch it. But even I couldn’t think of GHW Bush without thinking of the Dana Garvey caricature of him.

And there’s a vast difference between tittering about WJC’s priapism and the assaults on character and policy that they level against Republicans.

Is NBC a 527 now?

Franken at age 57 himself isn’t exactly the epitome of youth and vitality. Anyways, SNL has been headed downhill for some time now.

As I posted last night when I found out about this that NBC/SNL allowed a Dem Senate Nominee to write a skit attacking GOP Nominee for President of US.

This is across the line and one has to wonder are people inside the Obama camp writing any of the other skits as well?

Back in 1976 it was PC to laugh and snicker at SNL when they used to blast Gerald Ford. SNL has become its own parody now, and if I was to watch this waste of electricity , it probaly would be funny. I’m guessing Al has probably decided to go back to his roots, since he’s become a laughing-stock in Minnesota.

Most of the folks still watching SNL were/are Dems anyway. Besides, it’s satire….poorly done satire…but still satire.

The day the USA starts regulating comedy sketches is the day I go get measured for my ushanka.

It isn’t that Al Franken remains mired in sophomoric humor from his Dorm days – he does. It isn’t that his humor tends to be ugly and cruel – it does. It’s that Al Franken isn’t funny. Maybe he was in the 1970s, but he hasn’t been funny in a long, long time.

I don’t mind the political humor. Some of it is dead-on riotous! But Franken is just dull and predictable. He’s no comedian.

He isn’t funny.

I mean, I usually laugh watching Leno when he’s got some good McCain jokes (some are duds, but he hits more than he misses), however, this was just pathetic. Where’s the humor? A lame joke about McCain’s age when there are a ton of good ones they could have used? McCain makes false ads! OOOHHHHH really insightful there. You got him good….

What’s even more sad is that this was the opening skit, when I used to watch SNL, the opening 30 mins would be the funniest part. After the Weekend Update you didn’t have to keep watching anymore unless you liked the music.

Poor SNL, if anyone’s seen the movie Multiplicity, they have become the “copy of a copy.”

In a skit that was broadcast, SNL ridiculed the press for its treatment of Obama, but I don’t believe SNL has broadcast a single skit in which Obama was ridiculed.

SNL impersontions of Dems are just that, impersonations. When they do ridicule Dems is for charachter flaws like Bill Clinton’s excessive appetite, Hillary’s power hunger. Or it is some personality trait like Obama’s monotone. But every single Republicans is made to look stupid going all the way back to Gerald Ford. Reagan was a complete idiot. GW Bush was a likable idiot. Quayle was often portrayed as a child. W is the grandest idiot of all, but it looks like they may give Palin that title. And of course McCain is an old, aloof idiot.

Looking at the “Allegled” skit it shows a lot what Democrats think

• Mccain doesn’t care what is in his commercials.

• Mccain is out of touch because he doesn’t use emails (so what if his physical problems stop him – I want to be a professional athlete, but wasn’t blessed with the body to be one so I guess I can’t understand what an athlete is)

• Republicans don’t want universal health care. So what if it causes rationing? So what if we’re trying to get people to pay for it isntead of government? So what if a lot of people who don’t offically have insurance are healthy people who don’t buy it or get government aide let alone have guarenteed emergency care?

• Republicans don’t have issues to run on since they want to use fancy videos. Excuse me don’t you understand that Obama is running as a celeberity and we have been point it out. Furthermore this sketch was created in part by a man whose only qualification to be running for US Senate is that he’s a celebrity.

how many times the SNL actors made references to Palin’s “inexperience.” The Saturday before last, I counted 7 instances of Palin mockery. No references to Obama–except, of course, to fawn over him, periodically.

I didn’t take count last night because I changed the channel after the McCain skit.

and demand to have time on SNL. If the networks couldn’t air an episode of Law & Order with Thompson or an Arnold movie when they were running because to do so they would have to open up the same air time for their opponets to “respond” under FCC rules then why wouldnt a skit that was created by a senate candidate be subject to the same rules? Would NBC give it to him? No, but atleast we can point out how biased NBC is again.
