I almost didn’t say anything, glad i did. I thought that was a funny bit by her. Yet those days SNL was extremely funny.

I didn’t know their political leanings, it was more a comment on Obama’s work ethic or lack thereof.

"And as the flames climbed high into the night
To moonlight the sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight...."

40 years later, and it's still a great song. As was Sympathy for the Devil, in its own way:

"I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith
And I was around when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate...

Mick Jagger is a black man.

And the rookie Hussein isn't.
