Damn this SNL opening is tearing Obama a new one

[malaise]

Shakes head.

1. Accurately reflects the thinking of many.

Stockholm Syndrome makes sense, especially after the "hostage" comment.

[malaise]

3. I disagree

It was awful and not even funny

[TexasObserver]

6. It was accurate in its assessment of the president's capitulation.

It is accurate as a measure of the way many of his former supporters feel about his caving to the GOP on so many issues.

[malaise]

9. Then I guess he's touring with Glen Beck and O'Reilly

starting next week and attacking ABC for not letting dumb ass Bristol win on Dancing with the stars.

[TexasObserver]

10. You said it.

[Forkboy]

7. Comedy is in the eye of the beholder.

I haven't laughed at SNL in decades, but I find the movie Gummo funny. Go figure.

Well, I have no hand banana, if that's what you're asking!

:D

[undergroundpanther]

20. It was hilarious..

what? Truth hurts? Eye of the beholder and your income level has an effect too..If I couldn't laugh I'd be dead right now.

[dkf]

2. Worse than here?

I doubt it

[malaise]

4. Worse than here

Yes.

[Forkboy]

8. Does this mean that the accusation that the Obama dissatisfaction is confined to DU is over with?

[Union Scribe]

11. The trolls must have infiltrated SNL's writing staff

:sarcasm:

[nadinbrzezinski]

26. SHH, that was my writing gig for THIS WEEK ONLY

:sarcasm:

[katnapped]

31. Nah, SNL is obviously RACIST

Any criticism of our president must be considered so

:sarcasm:

[bigtree]

16. because a comedy show did a skit?

. . . and a lame unfunny one at that. Grasping.

[Forkboy]

22. As I say above, comedy is the eye of the beholder.

I didn't see the skit, it may have been hilarious, or (as I suspect of SNL) lamer than a two legged dog. Trying to spin comedy into your view of what's right or wrong is the true grasping here. :shrug:

[jillan]

5. Paul McCartney is on tonite! Have to wait another hour here.

[bigtree]

13. the crowd didn't really laugh or clap that much

. . . it's only really funny if it rings true.

[malaise]

14. And it failed that test

big time.

[undergroundpanther]

21. I was laughing so much

I almost sprayed water on my lap.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

15. San Francisco Nancy and her San Francisco "Democrat" friends

Like Rush Limbaugh said, "I never got a job from a poor person."

:rofl:

[Rosa Luxemburg]

17. she is Baltimore Nancy

[PBS Poll-435]

29. Agreed

And, I take a different take on the skit...


Huge and sarcastic reaction to the extremes on both sides.


Birthers, Vampires as DLC, etc. Pretty good.

[davidinalameda]

24. it depends on what kind of "job"

hand

blow

[laughingliberal]

27. "San Francisco Nancy and her Democrat friends."

Made me Lol.

[undergroundpanther]

18. God damn

It's GREAT tonight,All of it so far, Assange skit Was Awesome!! Stumblin reminds me of myself... lol.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

19. Assange was great! Header is perfect.

[malaise]

23. That was excellent

The truth is that Fred Armisen isn't even close to Obama - talk about marginalizing black people - he's Hispanic and Asian. He has never been funny doing Obama because he does a very bad Obama.

[laughingliberal]

28. Loved it! nt

[slay]

25. Brutal.

I'm damn sure not happy bout it either - it's just a bad deal period.

[TeaBagsAreForCups]

30. Positively exquisite.

... Kudos to SNL!
