1. I dunno

Confusing Carville with someone who would confuse Carville with a Marxist? That's a stretch.

[pacalo]

2. I'm recommending because a lot of DUers mentioned this last night.

Thanks for the video, Grassy Knoll.

Talented writers without censors could have done a much better job lampooning Fixed News. A before- & after-the-tragedy would have hit the ball out of the park.

3. That was way too tame

they didn't interrupt each other enough, and were performing in slow motion. They missed the Fox frantic atmosphere.

[Quantess]

4. I agree. They should have interrupted ach other more,

then it would have been more believable.

The James Carville imitation was amazing.

[Kurovski]

8. It is quite good.

They should use it to better advantage.

[progressoid]

5. And Michelle Malkin wasn't nearly rabid enough.

[barbtries]

10. or ugly enough

that girl was pretty.

6. If only Michael O'Donoghue were still alive, oh man would he rip Faux News a new a-hole!

Hopefully Lorne Michaels will pass the torch to Tom Davis and make SNL better.

[AlbertCat]

12. and make SNL better.

Yeah.... maybe they can get it back up to a whopping "30% sorta funny", like in the 70's.

[Plucketeer]

7. That was fun, but yeah

too tame with the Faux luminaries. :crazy:

9. The only way Fox would be that tame is if they were

sedated. It should be called the rabid Fox Network.

11. After rolling on the floor laughing for about 20 minutes, I have to say that...

I have no official comment.

:rofl:

[zehnkatzen]

13. The Rachel Maddow impersonation made me LOL

It was dead-on target and did what ought to be done to the Beckmeister's chalkboard.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

14. Is this what Sarah means by 'lame stream media'?

They were obviously trying pretty hard not to be too offensive to right-wingers. This sketch would have had a noticeably different tone if I'd written it...

[stevenleser]

15. Well, SNL has to still try to be funny. Its a comedy show and that is the tone their skits have to

have.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

16. I didn't say my version wouldn't be funny
