Again, I do not think that SNL has been biased against Obama0 (though, if we go back to the primaries we might see some reason why he may not feel real warm towards them). But I do think it is a mistake if SNL's strategy this last month of the campaign has been to have the GOP nominees on live and balance it out with anti-McCain jokes. I take it from above that the blond girl was Hasselbeck - was that skit anti-McCain, or anti-her? It seemed to be making her out to be an idiot. And why was Jennifer Anniston in that skit - is she one of Afflack's many past lovers, or is she just on that show a lot? I thought at first it was supposed to be Jennifer Garner, which might make more sense. I do agree with others that we are still waiting for a good Olbermann paraody - something that seems to be low hanging fruit but they have not yet pulled it off. If Franken wins Tuesday maybe we can look forward to a good KO/Franken/Rachel skit in the near future. BTW - how much of a lesbian can RM really be when it feels like she is flirting directly with me through the camera every night? Most lesbians I make eye contact with through a glass of ice water in my face... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Like TV only smarter.
