SNL Just Trashed DEAN in the Opening

[UTUSN]

Portrayed him telling other Dems to "go eff" themselves, with his aide attempting to lecture him on "tact" and asking him whether he had taken "those medications we got you."

Just pointing out who trashes any Dem from any source.

1. Add SNL to the list of anti-Dean conspirators

[oasis]

3. So much for SNL's love affair with Al Gore.

5. SNL Had a Love Affair with GORE? Missed It

I always thought HAMMOND thoroughly trashed GORE throughout Campaign 2000 and has only increased ever since, portraying him with ever more deadening, droniness.

6. Newsflash: SNL = Comedy program

Hammond's Gore was HILARIOUS. Farrel was incredible as Bush, too.


And why SHOULDN'T they "trash" Dean? He was HANDED Iowa and is BLOWING it.

7. I was with you before you got political...

Yes, SNL is comedy and they SHOULD find humor in whatever they can.

The Dean comment was unnecessary.

9. Dean's perceived "tanking" is the premise of the sketch.

[UTUSN]

8. Yeah, HAMMOND Has Always Said, "We're JUST Comedians"

It's not a matter of comedy, it's a matter of even-playing-field. FERREL *was* excellent as Shrub, but THAT stopped at 9-11. There has NEVER been extensive targeting of Shrub. He has gotten a pass at a 90+% level. He got a pass before 9-11 on the basis of don't-be-MEAN-to-him, then after 9-11. Not just in comedy, in media whoredom. It's the same point with the media: We don't (or shouldn't) ask for favorably-slanted coverage; just EQUAL. And it's NEVER been equal.

4. It's a CONSPIRACY!!!!!!
