Saturday Night Live kicked off its first episode after the presidential election with a powerful tribute to both losing candidate Hillary Clinton and legendary musician Leonard Cohen.
The episode, which was hosted by Dave Chappelle, opened with cast member Kate McKinnon performing a cover of Cohen’s classic track “Hallelujah” while dressed as Clinton.
“I did my best, it wasn’t much. I couldn’t feel, so I tried to touch. I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool you,” McKinnon sang, as she sat behind a piano on the Studio 8H main stage. “And even though it all went wrong. I’ll stand before the Lord of Song. With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah.”

A performer impersonating Hillary while playing and singing ‘’Hallelujah’’ is unbelievably maudlin and ludicrous. I’ll bet snowflakes in the audience were holding hands and weeping like the drama queens they are.
I think I first heard this song in an episode of ‘Six Feet Under’. Wherever it was, I’ve always despised it.
I am not the outstanding one, though I thank you for the kind words.
It is Trump who is outstanding.
What a shitty way to open up the episode. It was like being a funeral. For them though, I guess it was.
Hillary was their new liberal “messiah” to further the far-left agendas of Obama.
It didn’t come to pass and a bunch of them are in denial so they are singing their campfire songs about her.
Funny that so many pro-Palestinian, pro-Muslim lefties claim Cohen as their own. Not only was he a devout Jew who kept the sabbath throughout his life, he was actually a Zionist.
His lyrics were laced with biblical —and Catholic—imagery.
His very prescient song The Future was about terrorism’s blend of Islam and Stalinism.
Hillary took millions from the very sheiks and the imams who seek to destroy Israel-—and people like Leonard Cohen.
See my Tagline.
interesting bit of information
I did not know that he was devout and a Sabbath keeper
cool
