Presidential Candidate Barack Obama Lampoons Clinton on NBC's Saturday Night Live

Sunday, November 04, 2007

NEW YORK — After spending most of Saturday criticizing Hillary and Bill Clinton, Barack Obama took the stage with two impersonators — Amy Poehler and Darrell Hammond — on "Saturday Night Live."

The opening sketch of Saturday's broadcast featured Poehler and Hammond, as the Clintons, hosting a Halloween party. Toward the end of the sketch a man walked in wearing an Obama mask — which he removed to reveal he was, indeed, Obama.

"I have nothing to hide," Obama said. "I enjoy being myself. I'm not going to change who I am just because it's Halloween."

Doesn't matter who the RAT candidate will be, they all have the same agenda!

That had to have pissed Hillary and her war room crew off mightily...

You gotta give him credit... That was a smooooth moooove!

I cannot imagine Hillary! on SNL. As lame as it has become, it is not THAT lame. She just is incapable of being humorous, in any way, shape or form.

Not even on a Halloween edition? After all, she is the scariest person in America!

For some strange reason... her performance last Tuesday night really rankled the DBM. While the Clinton lie never bothered them before... this time, it seems to have made all the difference in the world.

I can't lay my hands on the quote easily, but about a dozen years ago, Miz Clinton herself said "it wouldn't be over for them until they became a late-night TV joke..."

Looks like the fat lady is singing...

The war room is going to be on the offense after this. The former Nuts and Sluts Brigage will be in fulll force. Watch for surrogates to start really negative stories against both Obama and Edwards this week.

Oh my that would be a fabulous youtube sequence clip. Hillary saying that (if taped) followed immmediately by a few seconds of the last Sat Night Live clip.

Kerry was swift-boated. Hillary needs to be youtubed based on her slimy words.

She probably blames her humorlessness on the days when she used to be a conservative.

Since Tina Fey left as Head Writer for SNL, the show seems a bit more fair and balanced.

That was Laugh-In. SNL wasn’t on tv until 1975.

But what about this?

Would an appearance on SNL constitute a campaign commercial? Should Obama have paid for it? With CFR I can’t keep track any more? I also seem to notice that CFR does not apply to Hillary.
