Saturday Night Live Skit to Highlight JFK Relations with Intern

We will see this skit next weekend, yes? Saturday night live Producer Lorne Michaels won’t just make fun of Republican Newt’s divorces but will joke about the recently revealed 18 month long affair President Kennedy had with 19 year old White House Intern Mimi Alford, right? I mean it’s just comedy folks, and politicians personal lives are fair game after all when a good laugh is needed. And drugs always add to good comedy scenes on Saturday Night Live so maybe they could parody the story about JFK “where he coerced her [the intern] to try the drug poppers.” Or, yucks about Kennedy’s voyeuristic nature when he requested then watched the intern perform oral sex on an aide in the White House. Here’s your punch line Lorne, “Politics makes strange bedfellows.” Yep, comedy for the entire family.

But the BEST jokes could come when Michael’s has an actress that portrays Nancy Pelosi state that JFK was not fit for the office of President. She could repeat that line Pelosi used when speaking to CNN’s John King about secrets she could reveal about Newt’s personal life. . . “There’s Something I Know” that would prevent him from being President, she could say . . . Wink, wink! Maybe parody a phone message from Kennedy to Ms Alford, and show the phone message being intercepted by Piers Morgan. Now that’s funny!

What a golden opportunity to make fun of political figures. Given Lorne Michaels parody’s of Palin, President Ford, etc., this will fit right in.

We will see this on Saturday Mr. Michaels, won’t we?

I don’t think the elite will let this happen. JFK is a saint to many in the establishment.

Only Americans are targets for SNL. Leftists are immune.

But, post-Clinton, having sex with interns is a virtue!

I always considered JFK to be rather “neutral”...while he had some significant liberal activities, he also stood up to the USSR.

But after learning that, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, that he revealed to his intern that his children would be “Better red than dead”, my opinion of JFK dropped down to Clintonesque levels.

JFK was a coward and a traitor.

Who cares. Seriously if we aren’t giving attention to Newt and his herum than certainly a guy who has been deceased for 58 years should not be of interest. Rest in Peace. Why they have to pick on a dead guy is beyond me. I am not a Kennedy supporter except to say that Kennedy was more conservative than some of our Republicans are today but that is a mute point as America in 1963 was way more conservative than America is today.

Agree completely! Camelot was nothing more than a figment of the media’s imagination that has been foisted on the public. The Kennedy’s became wealthy immorally and immorality reigned within that family...and continues t do so.

When I hear people pine for the return of Camelot, it makes me want to barf-elot.

I happened to catch part of the View today and joyless behar was simply aghast that any woman would come out of the woodwork to defame her spamalot fellow-—the sme joyless beast that smacked her lips and clapped her hands while women were coming out of the woodwork against Herman Cain.

Poppers eh? Amyl nitrate. A potent muscle relaxant. Favored by homosexuals to prepare their anal sphincters for a use not intended by nature. I am not at all surprised to hear of one of the Kennedy family forcing it on a teenage girl.

[Nextrush]

Howard K. Smith, who covered Kennedy for CBS and ABC, saw JFK as a timid leader who didn’t do things like FDR and LBJ.

Kennedy was mired in his sexual escapades and pain killer dependency which made him weak and afraid at times.

Addiction is a bad thing and it was a bad thing for Kennedy’s presidency.

But we had a few years of fiscal restraint until his death, then Johnson saddled us with bigger government and national debt.

Does anyone actually still watch the show, except as YouTube clips when they do something worth watching? I will admit to catching every recorded segment of The Continental and other such bits as they are available. But the bulk of the show and the last 80% of the cast iterations have been so awful for so long it's continued existence must have more to do with NBC not being able to come up with something else for a Saturday night than the ratings. That and some advertisers must still believe the remnant audience is where the dollars lay.

It would be interesting to find out that JFK fathered a child with Mimi and that child turns out to be Roseanne Barr. That would really put some legs into her Presidential run. Well it would be funny if they wrote the skit that way. Another Kennedy to worship.
