Fuck SNL!
Just slammed Theresa Heinz Kerry in the opening skit - what a bunch of whores - I can't believe they have sold out like this.

All I can say, they'd better start rehearsing "Live from Bumfuck, Kansas...."

It is so not "New York" anymore.

1. The gist was that it was translated by the State Department
and they "translated" everything bad for Kerry. :)

12. I laughed my head off
but thats just me. Sorry to step on toes.

Bush got slammed hard on taking his focus off of OBL and putting it on the illusional Iraq.

:kick:

18. The intro said the State Department translated it
and so, what you heard was what Rove would have told them to say. I think that part was too subtle.

7. They're not employees of the Kerry campaign.
They can make fun of anyone they want. They went after Bush too, I thought it was funny.

20. I thought it was funny too.
IT'S A COMEDY SHOW, PEOPLE!! CHUCKLE CHUCKLE, Y'ALL!! Not a frickin' campaign ad.

SNL in this case was an equal-opportunity parody.

10. there are two ways to look at it.
a fundie would have this reaction to Teresa.

remember the character was OBL, not someone rational.

24. Yes, but they have been EXTREMELY easy on Bush this
entire season and in the last two shows they have taken some nasty swipes at Kerry.

Not only that, but Kate Winslet's opening monologue sucked - wasn't entertaining, funny, a big zero. And this skit that's on right now SUX ASS.

Don't mind me, I am just bitter about how this show has deteriorated beyond repair. Whatever happened to edgy, iconoclastic comedy in this country anyway?

Thank God for TDS!

32. I thought the McCain parody was hysterical using Apocalypse Now as a back-
drop. I thought it captured all the points about what Bush did to him in the 2000 primary quite nicely.

27. Robert Smigel was fucking awesome!
Edited on Sat Oct-30-04 11:15 PM by seventhson
That was precious. McCain going nuts forced to speak for Bush

I missed the opening watching Clinton but MAN they were spot on with their clinton/Kerry bit too. Sadly

I miss the big dog as pissed off as he makes me sometimes.

Damn eminem rocks too. GREAT!!!

29. My God, that show is terrible
I haven't watched it in a few years, and actually did tonight. Well, until about ten minutes ago when I couldn't take it anymore after that assinine skit about the ten year old girl and Rick in the mall.

Parts of the news were funny, and the animated McCain bit was brilliant!

But otherwise, what a lame ass loser show.

Reminds me of why I haven't watched it in years, nor cared about it.

Just awful.

30. WHY does anybody watch that show? I don't get it.
It's pure dreck. It hasn't been funny since I was in high school.

That was a looong time ago.
