Did you even see the skit?
“I have better things to do today than spend my time & blood pressure on you all!”
Mercy, you sound like you have the vapors...
Might do that first. Very informative.
In the meantime don't be carrying water for the geeksquad at Saturday night or their funny little friends at the NYT.
The whole thing is just so gay!
This skit was certainly a polarizing event. It’s amazing how differently folks see it.
I understand the outrage at even the intimation of incest in the Palin family, but satire has to push the envelope to make its point.
How do you push the envelope on a family that has already been accused in the mainstream press of faking pregnancy, speaking in tongues, banning books, secessionist ties, genocide of native populations, destroying public property, abuse of power, lying, redneck, white trash, uneducated, etc., etc., etc?
What the left, the press, the NY Times have actually done has been so ridiculous, so feral, so psychotic, so beyond the pale of anything resembling decency and fairness ... how do you satirize what has been absurd in the extreme already? What was left to satirize was the only thing that the NY Times, et al, have not yet accused the Palin’s of.
That was my take on it. I thought we should thank SNL. Unfortunately the rest of the folks wanted to close it down. This was the single most factual addressing of the MSM in our age, and it sailed right over the head of most Conservatives. And we accuse the left of being their own worst enemy...
might have thought it was funny if they hadn’t thrown in the bit about Todd and the daughters. Nothing in the rest of the skit excuses that.
The problem with me is, there were already people out there accusing the Palins of incest, if they had stuck with the whole being attacked by a polar bear or reporters not knowing what a shot gun is, that would have been funny. The stuff about the Palins ruined the rest of the skit. There is just other things more outlandish that could have been out in in place of that comment.
im not defending the scum. Im defending you.
He knew. He approved. He's in it up to his neck.
