[Rhiannon12866]

CNN interviews Republican senators Mitch McConnell (Beck Bennett), Lindsey Graham (Kate McKinnon), Susan Collins (Cecily Strong), Jeff Flake (Pete Davidson) and Arizona prosecutor Rachel Mitchell (Aidy Bryant) as well as Democratic senators Chuck Schumer (Alex Moffatt) and Joe Manchin (Mikey Day) about the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

1. have to say, I didn't even break a smile at that.

some things just aren't that funny.

2. I have to agree with you - I guess I was hoping for something funny

Though several of the impressions were good.

14. Beck Bennett's Mitch McConnell and Cecily Strong's Susan Collins were spot on!

They were really excellent. Kate McKinnon was great as usual too. The others were just so-so.

3. Ain't a gawddamned thing funny about any of that.

I’ll be able to laugh again once the Trump family lies cold in the ground.

4. I couldn't stand to listen to him during the campaign

I honestly can't believe he's still around - I keep thinking that the "Dean scream" was all it took to sideline a genuinely qualified candidate.

5. Please don't misunderstand me - I am grateful for your posts

But I am living to see all of those monsters crash to the ground.

Despicable them.

[Rhiannon12866]

6. Awww, thanks!

And I couldn't agree with you more, despicable is a good description - it's gotten positively surreal. I've been posting some of the late night comedians here since I figured we could use all the humor we can get these days, they help keep me sane...

7. I would be sunk without your daily Colbert posts -

That’s how I end my weekdays and they give me the strength to get up the next day!

[Rhiannon12866]

8. Thanks so much!

And that's exactly why I started posting them - I look forward to Colbert every night, too - helps lift my depression after watching the news!

12. And let's not forget Stephanie Miller and her gang on morning radio.

If I couldn’t get the news (which I call “the horrors”) filtered through their singular blend of dark, informed, insightful commentary and loopy, bawdy, sophomoric humor, I’d be stark, raving mad. Stephanie is also a really fine interviewer, and draws on an impressive roster of guests.

17. I know that she often has Malcolm Nance on her show

And when he speaks, I listen!

9. dean made the mistake of saying break up big media BEFORE the elction & they took him out.

the sheeple have been led around by the gnewz since 1997.

[ZZenith]

10. Been going on for much, much longer than that, my friend.

But yeah, Dean got the treatment alright. The sting was somewhat alleviated by all that sweet, sweet corporate lobbying sugar, however.

15. always follow the money.

i bet the RATINGS is higher w/ the moron. the teevee gnewz pimped the moron for RATINGS. fucked w/ democracy. turn the gnewz OFF.

11. Got the Schumer

.......level of energy right.

[Dennis Donovan]

13. I thought it was totally worth watching with Beck's McConnell and Kate's Graham!

Alex Moffat's Chuck was pretty great, too! Alex is one of the better mimics on the show. after Kate, of course.

[Rhiannon12866]

16. I think that was the best McConnell I've seen, great job!

I hope we see more of him as McConnell in the future!
