Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin blasted "Saturday Night Live" creator and producer Lorne Michaels after a comic on the show made fun of a Texas GOP congressional candidate who lost an eye serving in Afghanistan.

Comedian Pete Davidson joked about retired Navy SEAL Dan Crenshaw's eye patch, saying he looks like a pirate in a pornographic film.

Davidson, 24, giggled afterwards, saying, "Sorry. I know he lost his eye in war, or whatever."

While Crenshaw said Monday on "Fox & Friends" that he would not demand an apology from Davidson or the show, Palin fired back at Michaels on Facebook.

"With all the grace I can muster I challenge you to wrestle back control of the show you’d shepherded, but allowed to be hijacked by some pretty sick - and boringly uncreative - young men," she said of Michaels, 73.

"You’re going down with the ship, Lorne. Sad to see your life’s work and worth crumble under the heartless no-talents."

"lost his eye in war or whatever"

Never cared for Rickles form of humor either.

Best comment of the thread.

SNL is irrelevant. Find a more worthy cause, Palin.

No they're not. Millions of people, including many young people, watch that show and other shows like it. The Left has had control over our pop culture for decades. It's one of their main tools for manipulating people's thinking, particularly the ignorant and stupid.

Damn, these dudes (?) are pasty-ugly!

Saturday Night Live was ALWAYS political. It NEVER separated politics from “comedy”, and despite lampooning Slick Willy, it has always been a far left outfit.

True, but at least there were some truly funny people on the show back in those days.

Same here. Had a few family members who thought he was a riot but I never saw that at all.

Few times I disagree with Dear Sarah.

They haven’t been hijacked; they’re just openly showing who and what they really are.

When this little fagboy verbally assaulted one of our veterans, he verbally assaulted ALL Americans as well.

Hopefully, he meets up with a SEAL somewhere during the course of his travels and gets his ass set straight.

Let him tell his joke then and we’ll see how funny he thinks the response is.

How can we coexist with assh*les like this punk?

Thanks for posting that picture (again) ... something about it finally crystalized for me.

Even knowing nothing about those two other than their facial expressions and general comportment: If Dan Crenshaw moved in next door, I'd think favorably of him. He makes a good first impression. If that smirking punk moved in next door, I'd be strongly displeased. He makes a lousy first impression.

Excellent! Worth repeating...Only a dedicated #NeverPalin would think otherwise...

I didn’t see the offensive remark, but let’s all take a deep breath and remember that Lorne Michaels and John McCain were friends and that daughter Meghan McCain was an intern on SNL during the mid 2000’s.

In other words, it’s all an Hegelian mindsuck and Palin shouldn’t waste her time complaining.

This Davidson idiot looks eerily like Don Knotts.

NBC, No Brains Collectively, is wall-to-wall Partisan Media Shills. Thanks KC_Lion.

SNL should be dumped. Problem is it’s on cable bunched with other liberal programs that on it’s own couldn’t stand.

Palin is about 20 years late.

Please don't compare this bizarre-looking talentless jerk to Don Knotts, one of the true comedic geniuses of our time. This twisted idiot looks more like a white Dennis Rodman.

[neverevergiveup]

It’s not about the joke as much as it is that it is indicative of the smarmy derision of patriotism and the American military that we’ve seen too often from the left.
