1. ?

What happened?

[Daybreaker]

2. SNL Skit

Actually, it was pro-Republican in the end.

Rudolph questions Santa's new policy of not delivering presents to "Dumbfuckistan," as Santa calls the collection of red states (that got huge applause from the audience). He gets his nose bitchslapped blue by the other reindeer for questioning it.

Santa hangs out in a New York restaurant with Margaret Cho and Moby when he should be delivering presents to the red states. A little girl cries and points out that Santa is a bigot. Someone accuses liberals of hating Christmas and Christianity and nobody in the skit points out that most liberals are Christians, too -- just not the kind that like to burn people at the stake.

It was pro-Republican propoganda, actually. It equated not going along with conservatives with being a Nazi.

4. Robert Smigel is not a republican.

I didnt see it, but I can I am sure his intentions were purely comedic.

5. Here is the actual message in the cartoon.

Stop talking about what is wrong with Bush supporters and red states and start selling our ideas to them.

This from my girlfriend who saw it.

6. Yep. They baled at the end. The scolded the Dems..

for ridiculing people with religious beliefs. Even though I agree with that I didn't like to see all Dems possibly being painted with this broad brush.

7. I did not see the whole thing as I was...

falling in and out of sleep. Did it really turn rethug in the end? It had so much promise, and I did not see the Moby segment, was it divided into parts?

[high density]

8. Pro-Republican? I didn't see it that way

I think it was mostly telling liberals not to label all red state people as morons.

10. Nor did I.

I'm still laughing at it.
