SNL Open: "Hillary Clinton" discusses her campaign and the NY primary

[Old Crow]

*cough* carpetbagger! *cough*

The video is a little flaky and repeats itself about two thirds of the way through, but it's the only video of the skit I could find online at this time.

1. LOL! Saw it live.

It's interesting and ironically funny to use the term carpetbagger to someone who moved to NY, but I get your point.

And I also love the irony of your DU name contrasted to HRC holding the three eyed crow from Game of Thrones.

The whole piece was a riot.

[Old Crow]

2. Oh, the crow coincidence is awesome! That never occurred to me.

I've been a fan of crows for many years now. Sure, they're noisy and raucous--but they (and all the other corvids) are astonishingly intelligent creatures.

4. She got Murdered - tongue firmly in cheek

I also love those birds. We have many of them down here in South Texas.

Grackles & cow birds, but no ravens.


(eta)

Oh, and we have some unbelievable green jays.

[Old Crow]

9. LOL! That pun is truly a feather in your cap. :) (N/T)

19. Ravens in Alaska are a totem bird.

Fantastic creatures.

[CoffeeCat]

3. Hilarious. The subway "film"

was hysterical.

Love how they captured what a fake she is. Which she is.

She's very easy to mock. So much material.

5. speaking of carpetbaggers, is bernie actually from vermont or did he just move there to get elected

[revbones]

6. Really?

Seriously?

[SusanCalvin]

7. Um, like people move to Vermont for political gain.... nt

[Old Crow]

8. Bernie Sanders moved to Vermont in 1968 at the age of 27.

You may not remember it, but virtually every young city person in 1968 was getting romantic about the idea of living in the country. After his move, he worked variously as a carpenter, filmmaker, and writer for four years. In 1972, he began his political career with a run for govenor of Vermont.

Contrast this with Hillary Clinton, who purchased a home in Chappaqua, New York at the age of 52, once she was urged by prominent Democrats to run for Daniel Patrick Moynihan's open Senate seat. The Clintons bought the house in 1999, just in time for the 2000 election.

Surely you can see the difference?

carpetbagger (noun, derogatory): A political candidate who seeks election in an area where they have no local connections.

23. Bingo. nt

[BeanMusical]

17. What a stupid thing to say.

[Xipe Totec]

I appreciate the effort. I was curious as to how much of the skit the version I'd posted had omitted.

Much obliged!

[Babel_17]

15. And thanks for the OP! K&R

I got up from bed for a bit and a great laugh was just what I needed.

[SheilaT]

11. Thanksfor posting this.

I hadn't had a chance to see it, and I laughed very hard as she was attempting to jump the subway stile.

[Old Crow]

12. My pleasure.

Yeah, I loved the subway bit, too. That was hysterical.

[Babel_17]

14. And thanks for the OP

I got up from bed for a bit and a great laugh was just what I needed.
