Live From New York...
I love SNL's "3:00 am phone call" sketch!

You have to watch it, it's hilarious. Obama has won the election and is freaking out and cursing and calls Hillary in the middle of the night asking for all kinds of advice.
Which got me to wondering - does Saturday Night Live really favor Hillary Clinton? And if I thought I was having an original thought, well again, just Google it: Someone stole my thoughts.
Damn thought stealers!
SNL claims it's not true. Jim Downey, who writes SNL's political sketches goes on to say, "I would imagine that most of the comedy world is for Obama." Hmmm...that's interesting.
SNL will mock with equal opportunity. Once we're down to one democratic nominee and one republican, they will mock them both, and once we pick a new president, it'll be open season on ridicule for him or her. That's what makes this country great!
I don't know, parody is often not far from the truth. I have difficulty trying to watch things such as the debates, because I think too abstractly - I don't always hear what is said because I "hear" between the lines. The little dialog in my head goes pretty much like an SNL sketch, so I might as well watch their recap of it anyway, right? It makes sense to me. AND it makes me laugh. In fact, watching an actual debate makes me laugh, inappropriately.
It's easier for me to just read up on the highlights of each candidates views on issues I consider the most important. And if SNL did endorse a particular candidate for president, I'd probably seriously consider their opinion.
Does this make me ignorant and uninformed?
What do you think?
