What would have been an appropriate costume for Hillary on SNL other than a bride/witch ?

[KittyWampus]

I'm curious, what would DU'ers suggest making Hillary dress up as on SNL.

What would have been an appropriat way to lampoon her?

BTW, was making Lucy the witch in the Charlie Brown cartoon means Charles Schultz was sexist?

1. Gravel in a straight jacket??

How come only the Hillary people are whining?

4. Meanwhile Biden and Dodd were shown as non-entities

[NoPasaran]

16. Non non-entities, just indistinguishable from one another

Not terribly fair, but I don't think you can expect much subtlety from SNL.

[KittyWampus]

19. I don't even expect comedy anymore. Not since the early 80's.

[sandnsea]

23. Uh, sponge bobs

How much more inconsequential can you get than a cartoon character that has never made any sense.

2. ???? Can you please explain your post? Was Hillary on SNL?

Thanks.

3. They had her hosting a party in a skit & she was dressed as a bride but everyone called her a witch

[Harper_is_Bush]

Sort of a bizarre thing to be curious about. Of course the answer is - nothing.

The skit wouldn't have worked with anything else.

With everything going on in the world, you're curious about what else SNL could have dressed her up in?

11. sorry, just reacting to the reaction here in GD/P.

[Harper_is_Bush]

13. Odd reaction. n/t

5. Lucy was dressed as a witch.

Hillary was assumed to be dressed as a witch --even though she was dressed as a bride.

The "joke" being that Hillary looks like a witch even if she's not trying to.

Decidedly different.

[KittyWampus]

6. True, but since Hillary was dressed in white, maybe they meant Glenda the Good Witch

[pinkpops]

18. Yeah why not.

[pinkpops]

17. I'm told she has to watch it when she laughs because

it sounds a bit like a cackle. I don't think she alone was the butt of the skit. Obama seemed like the only one who escaped unscathed. Who believes in witches anyway?

7. Hillary dressed as George Bush

lol

[KittyWampus]

9. Good point. That would have been much funnier.

:D

[high density]

8. It was a (rather unfunny) joke

Nobody cares.

10. Brides aren't too scary unless you watch Bridezilla

so I'm not sure what SNL's point was. Of course I also don't think Obama in an Obama mask is smart either. No matter what he was saying.

[KittyWampus]

12. Hey! you just struck on a much funnier concept for a skit! Hillary as Bridzilla

more evidence that just about ANYONE is capable of coming up with better material than SNL.

[Lucinda]

14. :)

They really don't seem to be trying very hard these days....

[ruggerson]

15. Wonder Woman

but you see, Wonder Woman is a POSITIVE reference - a brave, courageous woman fighting in the usually quite masculine superhero context. But, we can't have POSITIVE caricatures, can we? So much easier to slip into banal, bigoted stereotyping. And it gets such good, cheap laughs.

And, btw, the Wonder WOman costume could have been used to lampoon Hillary taking herself too seriously as the saviour of the planet - the inevitable president.

[KittyWampus]

20. There's another great idea for a skit. How does SNL stay on the air? You came up with a better

concept just off the top of your head.

21. two face

22. None dare call it satire...
