Finally SNL takes aim at Barrack. After countless smears on Palin/McCains image

grrrrr

Maybe its my political orientation, but this seemed long and tedious to me. They had one joke to make (well, two, one for Biden, one for Murtha) and they made it again and again and again.

The impressions didn't seem very good, either. If I had never seen SNL before (to know that was supposed to be Biden) and they hadn't introduced the characters I wouldn't have known who they were supposed to be. And I'm a political nut who'd recognize Biden or Murtha if I saw them on the street...

I did like the Deliverance line. :)

Are you going to laugh November 5th? I just want to know that.

I mean, you cannot support John McCain. If you hate Bush and call him liberal for spending all this money, then you must hate McCain. I mean, that would make McCain 80% liberal and 20% conservative.

I don't hate Bush, I just have problems with the way he let domestic spending get out of control and how he should have taken a stronger stand against the Dems on some things, especially Fannie and Freddie. I also think that he trusted some people who turned out to be wrong when it comes to some foreign policy issues, but complicated that by continuing to stand behind them out of loyalty.

I am also not a huge McCain fan, but one of the things I do like about him is that I think he is much more fiscally conservative than Bush, and especially Obama.

I am still weighing the idea of voting for Barr, especially since I live in a state that is safe for McCain.

Not bad.. I just wish they could get someone better than Armisen to play Obama, he's awful. They have DB Smoove on the writing staff, why not use him?

I think Armisan has his speech pattern down pretty good.

Posted By: Chris Connolly (Registered) on October 26, 2008 at 04:48 PM

actually armisan just says uhh... look then goes back to his normal voice more than half the time, its a pretty terrible impression.

Posted By: nah (Guest) on October 26, 2008 at 06:02 PM

I agree with Chris that Armisan has the speech pattern down. The problem is that his voice isn't deep enough.

So ashish will post any of SNL's Palin skits within hours, but someone else has to pick up the slack when one of 411's lefty golden boys gets skewered.

Shocking.

(it was no more tedious than anything Fey has pulled after her initial skit, which is the only one that was funny)

Grow some balls and go and watch them on youtube like the rest of the world. If you know they exist, presumably you can find them. And why is it shocking? I don't think Ashish claims to give anything other than his opinion. Most of the stuff that people were bitching about was not being able to watch Palin on SNL where her head didn't explode and she didn't trip over her own tongue. Congrats Sarah. Good work.

Of course Ashish will not comment on this scetch,it points out how big of a idoit Biden really is.He is to busy shredding Palin for her wardrobe.You know,important things.He truely is the Keith Olbermann of 411.

Posted By: JOHN (Guest) on October 26, 2008 at 09:45 PM

Wahhhh wahhhh! Ashish is bias!!! Wahhhh! Nobody is fair to us!!! Seriously, Ashish owns the site. If he is soooo bias, why did he even allow this post through? Why did he allow your idiotic comments through? It's his site, he can post whatever he wants. GET THE FUCK OVER IT.
