Don’t read too much into Clinton’s ‘Saturday Night Live’ sketch. Please.

And another point:

The first thing worth pointing out...

Is the fact that Darrel Hammond as Billy Jeff stole the whole show in my opinion...with his short line: "Oh...they're multiplying!"

Brilliant.

I once watched (well, TIVO'd, at least) SNL on a regular basis...mainly because of the ones like Darrell Hammond, Norm McDonald, even back to the Chevy Chase, Dan Acroyd, Bill Murray era...when political satire was actually satire, as opposed to blatant political posturing and support for Lorne Michaels leftist crap.

Yep. Our enemies will use ANY means necessary to harm us. Useful Idiots abound in our Government.

More like a descent actor, where politics and other women are involved.

Her whole life in politics has been one big act.

Nothing looks sadder than a wore out plow horse.

Not even worth the trouble of turning into dog food.

Watching Hillary in that skit, I'm reminded of the CLASS of British premier, Margaret Thatcher. It's impossible to picture her as a barmaid in an English pub tapping ale into the pints of limey barflies to garner attention from a national BBC audience.

Mrs. Thatcher had dignity and standards which she maintained throughout her political career.

I can't even picture Biden allowing himself to be put on TV as a bartender into such a saloon scenario as Hillary's.

I think Hillary is in the early stages of dementia....or, at the least, her handlers and advisors are as demented as she.

Hillary desperately needs a family intercession to save her from herself. What's next, the "Gong Show"?

I watched this skit and I did not think it very funny, nor the opening skit either.

Where is SNL finding talent these days? Once upon a time Second City in Chicago had the best improv comedians anywhere. The list of comics of the last 40 years from there is legendary.

SNL has lost it’s way and the skits, political or otherwise, just are not funny or as raw.

It could be that Lorne Michaels has just been there too long and they need some new blood producing that show.

Yep.....am sure tons of folks watched SNL last evening. NBC hedged its bet on Hillary Clinton by opening the show with a “Trump” routine!!! Had Clinton been standing alone on SNL the viewing audience would not be worth counting!!! NBC also covered its butt with MIley!!!

The good news is Hillary gained only a few votes and “The Donald” just continues to amass voters of all stripes, everytime these low life, Obamabot, Democrat Party media vermin try to take him down...keep it up NBC!!!

Did she do her “Joker Face” while waving to her imaginary friend in the audience. Weirds me out every time.

I was dead wrong........SNL viewer ratings last evening were nothing to brag about!!! I guess the fact, they did not play up the Trump” skit prior to its showing hurt their ratings. Hillary Clinton, certainly did not do either NBC, SNL and herself much good last eveing!!!

We live in a very strange world indeed. She is a criminal and SNL puts her on their show as if she was somebody special. If it meant ratings they would have no problem putting Charles Manson on SNL.
