Right on the money.

Hmmm… hate to criticize, but shouldn’t the comedian playing Chris Christie have been a little bigger?? Like about 300 pounds bigger than what he was?? And of course, have a Twinkie hanging out of his mouth??

Gov. Chris Christie is such a great person to spoof so I don’t know how SNL messed it up but sure enough they did. It wasn’t so much the writing as the actor. They missed his tone and presence. Maybe they should have found an Italian guy.  

When I see this kind of stuff, I always wonder… “But do the righties GET it?!?!”

GOPbaggers in public:  WE LOVE HERMAN CAIN!!!!  WE ARE SO NOT RACIST!!!!

GOPbaggers in private:  CHRISTIE, YOU GOTTA RUN OR WE’LL BE STUCK WITH THIS BLACK MAN!!!!!!

SNL must be getting into Campaign Mode as the last two shows of the previous season and the first two this year have not had any spoofs on either President Obama or the Dems. 

Maybe his whitehouse handlers have made some phone calls like they did the the CBS correspondent who did the piece about the Attorney General.

Well let me ask you this, has there been anything funnier than those two topics (Christie Love and Hitler Hank) coming from the President in the past week?

Mediaite’s SNL tries to get the people to not pay attention to the actual DEPRESSION that is engulfing the US.

Now that thar is some humor.

Depression, defined as 4 contiguous quarters of declining GDP.
Now, if you take the deficit spending of Obama over the last 3 years you have 9% of GDP and an increase of only 3%. Hmmmm, do not think to long.

Probably not all, and then those that do pretend not to.  Why? To annoy lefties?!

Shouldn’t you be on one of the many repeats of bathtub boy’s Currently Not Viewed TV show, Janeane Garofalo?

Yeah. His story about the unemployed teacher he met. You know, the one with 2 teaching jobs who’s never met Obama.

They were trying to get Michael Moore to do it  but he was at an all day buffet wth Whoopi, Joy and Sherri.

My guess is the libs don’t GET it.  This skit is making fun of the liberals in the media.  It’s demonstrating that regardless of who is running (or who is leading the polls), if it’s not the guy they feel like reporting on, they’ll just ignore him and push “their guy” anyway.  That’s how McCain became the Republican nominee.  The liberal media just pushed him and pushed him and pushed him … and then once he was the nominee they immediately turned on him because he actually … you know … has some conservative beliefs.

So basically, SNL has become part of the Democrat party smear machine? 

SNL is so tame these days.This might have actually been funny but my IQ is higher than my shoe size so it just came off as blah boring.

When you take the entire direction of a show like this toward blatant silly all resemblance of political relevance goes away.Skits like this are something anybody could come up with yet so-called top notch high priced writers can’t come up with something better?

YAWN!

Hey FNC,could you start running Red Eye repeats at midnight on Saturday night again please?That way something funny would be on to switch to after SNL bombed.

I dont
They dont

That just isn’t that funny….nothing you could build a skit around.

Do you really belive that? LOL

The GOP has so much more material to work with as far comedy goes.

so now fox news is liberal media?

wow. sunsetlament is dumber than dirt

Nadad

What’s to get? It’s part of the media campaign to paint the Republican nominee (who they sense and fear it will be Romney–imagine Romney debating Obama on economics?) as unsuitable and unelectable. 

Not at all. Recall SNL’s hilarious spoof about Obama’s wacky church? It was great.

I think the left pretends to laugh at this stuff but basically they’re just cheerleading their side. Sometimes SNL is still funny but more often than not it’s just plain pathetic. Compare this sketch to any of the political sketches leading up to the 92 election. Even with the lefty bias, it’s night and day.

The problem with SNLs skits is that they have to write them for the average American who doesn’t follow politics.

I can tell that there’s a funny skit lurking under the surface, but it gets ruined because they have to spend so much of the skit describing Mitt Romney and Christie…and explaining why we’re supposed to laugh.

Oh give it a rest.  SNL does a pretty good job a making fun of both sides.

Did you even watch the skit?  It was top Republican fundraisers, not the press.  

Big difference.  

Unless you’re talking about FOX.

I’ll give it a rest, if you wake up.

The writing is just not there. There’s always a germ for a good idea but, as is the case with most things, it comes down to execution. And then there’s the talent; it’s lacking. 

Compare these guys to Phil Hartmann or Dana Carvey, or before them Dan Ackroyd and Bill Murray. 

Liberals/Progressives in public: WE LOVE BARACK OBAMA! WE ARE NOT RACISTS!

Liberals/Progressives in private: BY NOW IT IS PLAIN TO SEE THAT THIS CHICAGO THUG WILL BE TOAST NEXT NOVEMBER BUTWE ARE ALL CHICKENSHIT TO GIVE HIM A PRIMARY, BECAUSE WE WOULD NOT WANT TO BE RACISTS!

If a one hour Red Eye ran in the same time slot as Real Time With Bill Maher, it would do to Maher what O’Reilley has done to Keith Olbermann.

Run the repeat in the same time slot as Saturday Night Live, it would do yo SNL what any FOX show does to any of their so-called “competitions”.  

My thoughts exactly… as the skit is being performed, you can see some great potential in some points but it gets detoured to appeal to the greater audience. If this had been written for cable play, it’d be a lot different.

Leedog, I applaud your strict attention to details.

Sean, do you think Obama has anything to fear debating Romney on economics?

Do you think the average business person understands economics?

Do you think economics is about profit and loses?

And do you think Romney is going to be successful debating economics using the Republican VERSION of economics?

The truth of the matter is there is NO – NO correlation between tax cuts and employment.

Google it why don’t you.

That was too cool! ROFLMAO!!!

How about his 83rd round of golf?

Cain is a empty suit fake conservative. Romney is a big business corp dude that cares little for real people unless he needs their vote, and Perry is the only person to stand it the face a fire and tell everyone what he really believes, and why it matters. Who are people going for, another empty suit with no record. You have to be kidding me.

Nah…not that funny….unless he hit Boehner in the nuts with his golf ball….that would be funny

Lloyd, you’re not helping. You are not contributing anything worthwhile to this conversation. You follow an insult with something that doesn’t even make sense, “how do you like being lied about?” Lied *about*?

Putting up such unthoughtful retorts is only necessary when you have nothing thoughtful to say. We can do better. When we don’t, we deserve the criticism we get.

Dronetek, what 12voltman1 said was true, unfortunately. It is not bias on the part of SNL that is to blame. It is the moral and ideological vacuum on the right that is the source of embarrassment after embarrassment for them.

“My IQ is higher than my shoe size” 

That’s good comedy right there.  Why can’t SNL writes stuff like that?
