I did catch about four nasty digs at Hillary. But WHAT was that thing about saving the woman in Nigeria about? That smelled of Liberalism, or did I get it wrong, because I hadn't seen the whole show?
And the dig at Pat Buchanan?
LOL. Oh yeah, the 'digs.' (I had planned to include them in the 'review,' but got sidetracked.) Their purpose, as I see it: They provided demonstrable 'proof' that , silly us, this show wasn't a homage to hillary (even as it was a homage to hillary and the Friedan wing, i.e., included complaints about how hillary took over the West Wing, didn't do menus, etc.) Although she baked no cookies, didn't do illicit land or cattle deals and stood by no man, hillary clinton starred in the triple role of the Cook, the Thief and his Wife. Her lover was played at once vaporously and in workmanlike fashion by the ghost of Eleanor Roosevelt, with Janet Reno, between her stints rendering intermittent injustice for the Husband, as the reliable stand-in. Sidney Blumenthal was the stand-in for the Cook and Craig Livingstone the stand-in for the Thief. The last-minute addition of Christopher Hitchens as the snitch was a stroke of absolute genius notwithstanding its cerebral accident, its predictable-if-perfect pitch and its facile alliteration.
