Cute and funny. But Saturday Night Live skits are not news at all…

Was that supposed to be humorous? Actually, it was a lot more ’spot on’ accurate than many NYT ‘news’ articles…

Senator Barack Osama, sir, I knew John F. Kennedy and sir, you are no John F. Kennedy, he didn’t have funny looking ears !!

This ENTIRE episode was Tina Fey’s love letter to Hillary. See also the “Bitch is the new Black” sketch.
This Hillary spoof is funnier than any of that:

Still waiting for Hey Big Spender skit on Hillary.

How anyone can raise $120 million dollars and not be able to pay their bills is amazing to me.

Hillary is like a typical big lottery winner. Spending until she broke.

Heh coppola, you missed the entire point of the sketch. In the “infamous” words of your last great president. it’s about Barack Hussein Obama” STUPID!

SNL should do a skit on Hillary spending money. Hillary has spent $120 million and has nothing to show for it but huge bills she cannot pay.

Lets see, $500,000 on parking, private jets, $85,000 food bill per month and $8 million a month marketing bill. Donnot forget the 5 star hotels.

It so funny that anyone would want to vote for her.

Wait…what happened to the whole clip!??

All I’m seeing now is just the last 2 minutes of the skit; the first 2 minutes were the funny part, and the part where the moderator said the news people were “in the tank for Obama.” Gosh, I wonder if someone got nervous about showing the whole clip…
