Saturday Night Live Has A Message From Rick Santorum
Remember a few weeks ago, when “Saturday Night Live” aired a presidential debate sketch where the candidates were seated according to their chances in the polls, and Rick Santorum was left to participate via satellite from a gay bar in the San Francisco’s Castro District? Oh, so very much has changed since then. This week’s episode began with an address from Rick Santorum himself, played by Andy Samberg (wearing Santorum’s now-signature sweater vest, of course).
“What is this campaign about?” Santorum asked rhetorically. Well, his first priority is making “family” the linchpin of public policy, and a very close second is starting a war with Iran “as a favor to Israel.” After laying out these goals, Santorum made a vow to campaign in every single county in the United States, perhaps as a way to set himself apart from the über-efficient Mitt Romney? The two take-aways from this sketch for me were that Samberg’s Santorum impression is among my favorite Republican candidate impersonations on the show, and that provided that lesbians and “Mormon death squads” don’t take him out of the race too quickly, we’ll get to see more of it. Oh, and Armisen finally got a break from doing cold opens!
