Well, the Chief didn't care for it for the incest angle. I didn't care for it due to the tried and true formula of driving the joke into the ground after grinding it into fine powder.
http://blogs.kansascity.com/tvbarn/2008/09/what-was-up-wit.html David ----- Original Message ---- From: "Thomas Allen Heald, Esquire" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SNIP Well, I think the knives are out because of the Jim Downey sketch <http://snltranscripts.jt.org/08/08btimes.phtml> on the latte-drinking liberal elitist New York Times reporters unwilling to go to Alaska to cover wacky Sarah Palin stories because there's no decent Thai delivery food. === Steven: Uhhh -- what about the husband? You KNOW he’s doing those daughters! [ he chuckles ignorantly ] I mean, come on! It’s Alaska! Assignment Editor: He very well could be. Admittedly, there is no evidence of that, but, on the other hand, there is no convincing evidence to the contrary. And these are just some of the lingering questions about Governor Palin. That's why, in a few days, ALL fifty of you are going to Alaska! ... Narrator: [ with SUPER ] In 2009, Howland Gwathmey Moss V was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his Times series on unproven, yet un-disproven incest in the Palin family. Sadly, he was to die 3 months later, run over by a snow machine, driven by a polar bear. [ dissolve to page from the New York Times, with large headline: "In a Small Alaska Town, Doubts Still Linger", and smaller headline: "While No Direct Evidence of Incest in Palin Family Emerges, Counter Evidence Remains Agonizingly Elusive" ] === It was a very PRO-conservative piece blasting the "liberal media" for trying to dig up dirt on Palin. (You know, the adult pics, the adultery, the rape kits, the babydaddy, Todd's past, etc...) The incest implication of the sketch would however be a fair and balanced look at the Snopes disproven "who is Obama" email accusations that labeled him a Muslim terrorist who isn't a citizen, won't pledge allegiance, and was sworn in on the Koran, etc., since January. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Like TV only smarter.
