Ouch.  

just a few short weeks ago!

What does Tina Fey have to do with last night's sketch?

In any case, it was a lame skit -- just reaching out to the targeted demographic of young, sophomoric college students and recent grads.

lol I wouldn't really call em her champion for the longest time, they were basically favorable to her in 2 skits and then it died.

remember the Paeterus hearing when they were all nice to Obama since he will be the next president :-P

don't see this as clobbering since it's so outrageously over the top. sore loser - that plays into the MSM meme, although if you listen to her stump speeches it's clear she's far more aggressive in bein nice to Obama and pledging to support him in the GE. Obama's similar appeals have always fallen flat and reinforced his duplicitous personality to me. just saying. sort of like his 'you're nice - enough' comment.

keep harping on the 'my supporters are racist' bit, and the Obama crowd can bet their assess that BO will lose in November. guilt-tripping 50% of the DEM electorate that voted for HRC is NOT going to get them to pull your lever, never.

Oh, don't bother saying 'oh but it's not BO that's saying that - it's the MSM'. Well true but if BO wants to turn it around maybe he should start doing some work to change that particularly slanderous meme. Waiting till that plays out enough for him to win the Nom is going to be toooooo late.

hehehehehehehehhe

Why are we still arguing...the nomination has been settled.  Hillary put up a good fight.  She'd be the nominee if she voted against the war resolution or if she had not let Mark Penn run the campaign into the ground.  These were the two big flaws I saw in her, and they led me to look at other candidates.  I found a great one in Obama, and weighed him against my long love of Hillary. But I determined she has changed a lot from the Hillary I loved in the early 90s, mostly for the worse.  I still like her, even if some of her supporters drive me crazy with their Florida/Michigan bullshit.  Anyway, Hillary lost.  It's over.  Get over it!  

All we saw were diaries after diaries of "SNL TELLS THE TRUTH!!!!!!!  THE MEDIA XPOSED!!!!!!!"

if it offends you, you might want to:

a- drink more alcohol

b- pull your head out of your ass

c- get new friends

d- all of the above

It's more of an attack on Clinton's supporters. That's really not helpful to Obama or SNL for that matter. Calling people racists isn't a plus.

OK.  I am an Obama supporter but I have to admit, that was uncomfortable to watch.

satirical skit.

Oh yes, repeating the talking heads accusations, and B O is just squeaky clean. lol

I don't think this skit necessarally portrays accurately how Clinton is campaigning now, but it does underscore the essential issues at stake very clearly.

There is a fear that Clinton will be a sore loser out there.  Certainly on this blog there are a lot of people who might be considered sore losers... look at 1950Democrat's diary from yesterday where he said he'd follow Clinton anywhere but Camp Obama.  The media has been reporting on wedge politics so vigorously that some people are now personally invested in the opposing candidate losing instead of their candidate winning.  You know, screw policy platforms or the future of the country, that guy must pay.

I know Jerome doesn't want us to talk about it, but exit polling does confirm that race does matter to perhaps 10% of Clinton's voters.  This either means that they just really love white people or they do have a problem with black people.  Ignoring the problem doesn't make it go away; it's a legitimate issue that Obama will face in the general election, because racists, indeed, will not likely vote for a black president, even against their economic well-being.  I don't think that this reflects significant race-cards being played on the part of either candidate: You don't need to provoke a racist to vote against a black person.  They've probably come to that conclusion on their own.  

Finally, it is very true that Clinton is viewed by many as having no scruples whatsoever.  I have Republican friends who, when I remarked that it was bizarre that she was flipping on the gas tax holiday issue from her 2000 position, welcomed me to their nightmare; even moderate Republicans have believed for over a decade and a half that there is no position that she holds sacred and that she'll sacrifice anything or anyone to win.  I still have a hard time believing that she would start self-financing to Mitt Romney levels in pursuit of a 5% chance at the nomination (and that's a generous estimate).

This skit has everything to do with media perception of Hillary Clinton; it remains to be seen how accurate it is.

Look, analyzing comedy is mostly a waste of time, but the point of the "my supporters are racist" joke wasn't to say that EVERY SINGLE Clinton supporter is a racist who won't vote for a black candidate; it was to point out that, YES, there ARE Clinton supporters who will NOT vote for Obama simply because he is black.  That's just a (sad) fact, and it IS funny to (1) mock those racists and (2) tease Clinton for supposedly banking on white-people-who-will-never-support-the- black-guy vote.

Every time a Clinton supporter here gets all outraged that race is discussed, I laugh.  They are denying simple truths about racism in America, and that outrage is beyond faux.

The sketch was funny.  Good stuff.

I didn't think it was that funny. I didn't think the skits trashing Obama were that funny either. Tina Fey's 'bitch is the new black' was pretty funny though and Chris Rock's take on Clinton Obama was funny but they have talent. SNL hasn't been that funny for a long time.

Don't mind if I do: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/5/11/ 6490/23273/998/513606

That is too funny.

I think that Hillary said it best, white, hard working white americans are her core supporters, and yes there was something hidden in there, but I can't say or I will get thrown off of MyDD.  No matter what she meant she made a big mistake in thinking that hard core yellow dog democrats as myself would find what she said not offensive.  The truth is that Hillary's supporters are not yellow dog democrats who vote democrat no matter who is running, but are democrats who democrats can't depend on no matter how hard democrats try to win them over.  These Reagan democrats she says will vote for her in November are the same ones that voted for Bush two times, and will more than likely vote for McCain even if she was to be the nominee.  Obama's supporters are yellow dog democrats, and AAs and white workers (college and non-college voters), and independents, and young voters who are more involved in politics than ever before.  

It had the potential to be funny, but the delivery was poor and drawn-out.  It made me smile, but wasn't worth a LOL.

I think you misinterpreted the humor.

I agree - it was a skit making fun of everyone but Hillary.  If anything it was poking fun at everyone in the blog world who repeats the memes in the skit over and over like it is their mantra.  

Thank goodness for my DVR - I can fast forward through the not funny stuff - like Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton saying "I have no ethical standards."  Hee... hee.  Yawn.

of Hillary Clinton, you should come knock on doors in Appalachia with me for the general election.

Not all her supporters are racist - I'd assume most are NOT, and I'd also assume ALL the ones posting here are NOT. However, there are racist ones out there. I know, because I've met them here in central PA. They call me "n*%%@r-lover," and call him the associated name. They did it when I was campaigning for him, and they still do it when my car (which has an Obama bumper sticker" has its windows open.

end of story, end of primary.

And yet, it's whites who are called racist even though whites have voted for Obama in much larger percentages that AA's voting for Hillary.  But.... I guess that has nothing to do with race.  Right.  

Then again, I have learned in this campaign that if AAs do things that appear racist, it's not racist at all.  It's justified because of hellish experiences at the hands of whites.

If any of Hillarys supporters think this skit was a satire of the medias perception of her then you are still in the denial phase.    A very, very deep denial phase.   Whats the stage of grief after denial?

Last night's skit was pretty harsh.  Maybe they felt that people took their comedy too seriously following their famous debate sketch and decided to even things out, as it were.  Anyway, I doubt that the average skit has much impact on the media narrative.

by the way I wouldnt say they were in the tank for her at all.

they should go back to the old stuff, at least that way they are being all controversial and shit.they were more famous that way.

Something or somebody 'clobbered' Hillary.   Yep, a truly orgasmic moment for the Obama supporters (aka Hillary haters).

Yep, you really don't want the votes of Hillary's supporters in the fall, do you?

The arrogance of assuming that you will 'have them' anyway may be the downfall of your candidate.

Haha.

That was really funny.  The most funny part is that I don't think most Obama supporters, such as Al Rogers, realize that they are poking fun of people like him.  She was demonstrating EXACTLY how hardcore obamabots actually think Hillary is.  LOL

One obamabot that i know recently called Hillary a c*nt.  This from a hardcore democrat.  How sad what the kool-aid has done to this party.  

08 will be a repeat of the McGovern slaughter.  Clinton knows this and bless her for trying to save the democratic party from another massive failure.  Hats of to you sen. clinton

Oh the thinking Clinton supporters will vote for Obama.  The dittoheads of course will not.  Fortunately there are far more thinking Clinton supporters then dittoheads.

been for Hillary.  Lorne Michaels has donated to McCain, and the head writer is an Obama supporter.  Tina Fey wrote the pro-Hillary stuff, but she's not even on the show anymore.  She was guest-hosting, and once she was gone it allowed the show to express its true feelings which are anti-Hillary.  You see how that works?

You know it not's real. The character is wearing a pants suit which actually looks designer made. Not off the rack at Wal Mart.

Then you weren't watching carefully.  I remember reading in disbelief the diaries gushing about "Bitch is the new black" and how that should be the campaign's new motto.  Seriously.

And SNL was held up as the great truthteller about how the MSM were in the tank for Obama.

...I mean look at all the material she is giving them.  They must read her recent comments look up and say "This stuff writes itself".

Sometimes it takes comedy to point out the obvious

She was parroting all the crap you and cable news have been regurgitating day after day.

The hilarious part is how you neanderthals didn't get it.

Have we considered that this was Pohler's way of getting back at Hillary for losing?  Pohler had to be drooling at the prospect of being the pre-eminent caricature of Clinton.  

It looks like the NBC site got hacked.

If you go to the official SNL page and open up the Clinton sketch, you get spammed if you don't have a pop-up blocker and a really loud audio clip starts repeating:

"Hey everybody, I'm looking at gay porno!"

Don't try this at work.

I see that skit as an attack on Obama, since the 3 points made about Hillary are actually the backbone of the Obama campaign.

The diarist doesn't seem to understand satire.

this isn't a hit piece against Hillary, but against the MSM and the Obama campaign.

It is taking their talking points and blowing them up & out of the water.

Just like Campbell Brown really didn't have an organism when she asked Obama questions.  Come on, learn what satire really is and who they are really slamming.

I didn't think Campbell Brown had an "organism" either.

I hate to say it, but SNL just ain't funny this year, no matter whom they're pimping.

You want funny?

Go to 0:30 of this clip:

Her nonchalance as she whips out the pistol is, for me, the funniest moment of this entire epic tragedy.

Those two should get a room and give us a break for a few hours.

SNL used to be this funny:

I liked it.

We all know TEAM Obama with 90% black support will call racism against other racial groups being less racial in their selection.  I can't hear their crying though when Black voters are so racially biased this cycle.  Maybe next cycle West Virginia is racist but in this cycle they are equally as non racist as I am calling the black vote for Obama which sits at 90% to 10%.

We also know Hillary will fight her heart out no matter what.
Thats true.

And like it or not may of us won't be voting for Obama based on how he has campaigned and how his wife is in control of who his VP candidate will be.

Other than that it was clearly written by an Obama supporter and fades from memory like the crap on MSNBC.

None of you complained when Black voters voted 80% for democrats.  

Speaking of crying, why is it every thing/one/organization that criticizes Clinton is sexist?

Yesterday she was talking about being the first woman/mother/wife/sister/daughter to be president, could she pander more to the emotions of women?

"Come Save Me Sisters!"

Stupid and idiotic posts like this reinforces why I have come to lothe BO and his blogging worshipers.

Nominate BO  - Hello McBush

why is this funny?

1. Tina Fey has nothing to do with SNL this year except for her guest spot.
   
2. SNL has made fun of Hillary in the past. The Tina Fey episode and a subsequent one were the only real eps that put out a favorable episode on Hillary.
