Hillary Clinton showed up on the set of Saturday Night Live last night to cash in on last week’s very funny skit that lampooned the media coverage between Hillary and Barack. Now when it comes to a general election between John McCain and Obama/Hillary, (I give the edge to Obama at this point) who do you think will get treated better?

Rudy Giuliani showed up on the Weekend Update segment to lament his loss to John McCain and explain his biggest mistake
Rudy: The Florida plan was solid, I stand by that. But the dress killed me.
Saturday Night Live opened tonight with a fake presidential debate hosted by mock Brian Williams and Tim Russert. Williams and Russert were bored by healthcare and were overly nice to Obama, while Amy Poehler, as Hillary Clinton, played mildly indignant. After the debate, instead of the opening credits, there was an “Editorial Response.”
No Trackbacks To “SNL: Live, From New York…It’s Hillary Clinton! Rudy shows up too“
When did SNL turn into “the 1/2 hour news hour”?
The best campaign commercial EVER! They might not have technically “endorsed” her but it’s pretty obvious they did after this episode.
This episode also had a nice dose of racism and gay bashing as well.
Rudy and Hillary
How cute
There’s no business like show business
Too little too late for Hillary. It’s all over.
RHM
Everythings groovy!
I can’t believe that show is still on.
RHM @ 6:
We’re an Empire Baby!
The show was awful from beginning to end.
Not only was it NOT funny, it was insulting.
The skits and Obama/debate portrayals reeked of racism, ghettoizing blacks and depicting them as stupid, as well as painting Obama as less than intelligent.
And that cartoon - WTF was THAT? could they be more blatant in marginalizing Obama as the *black* candidate just as Bill did in SC with Jesse Jackson???
Plus their portrayal of Hillary at the desk - a not so subliminal message of her in the oval office?

nice to see they’ve kept their sense of humor.Call me crazy,but I like her,and Rudy welllllll,he still has his sense of humor.
Are SNL writers still on strike? And how many superdelegate votes do they have?
mudshark @ 11:
Yeah good job distracting us from the Killing Fields over in Iraq.
It would have been funnier if they would have shown a backstage segment at the end of the show, with Tina Fey and Bill C in a compromising position! Ha! SNL lost it’s bite years ago. With all that media “bias” Hillary keeps talking about, she sure is a media hound just before the next Primary. Mark Penn might be a terrible campaigner, but he sure gets her the spotlight just before big days. At least she isn’t crying, or faux angry this time.
Stopped watching SNL years ago. Obviously missin’ nuttin’.
Hillary tied to Rudy on SNL
McCain tied to Hillary in NYT Frank Rich column
Looks like loser candidates being teamed up. Even double-teaming they’re not as savvy or as compelling as Team Obama.
Armisen is terrible in this role.
And Hillary’s “The media is against me!” victimhood schtick would be a lot more convincing if she didn’t have her millionaire friends giving her free airtime to complain about… not getting enough airtime?
mudshark @ 11:
In my opinion, your not crazy. At least in these clips (I didn’t get to watch the whole show) Clinton was pretty funny and played well with the other “Hillary”. Guiliani on the other hand, sounded like a robot just saying what he is programmed to say.
I’m assuming all the applause Rudy got was the audience happy to see him not running for prez.
I hate to take issue with SNL, but where is the evidence-i.e. facts to support-that the media are soft on Obama. I’m sorry but everything but the kitchen sink, in fact the kitchen sink, have been thrown at this guy, i.e. not patriotic enough, a plagiarizer, not black enough, too black, not experienced, no legislative accomplishments, now Rezko, and the list goes on. So, I just don’t get this idea that the media prefers Obama to Hillary. C’mon, everyone knows it is the Clintons who receive the kid gloves.
Typhonis @ 16:
Ya, it is getting old. It’s out of the Bill Clinton playbook. He used it for years. You go on national television and complain you get no national coverage. Or you complain Faux Snooze lies about you, so you go on Faux Snooze. It’s a friggin’ joke that people see through.
very funny skit last week? John did I miss something
Hillary will be a terrific President. She is her own woman, she will not be handled by congress. She will lead and direct this nation to greatness once again, after to many years of Republican rule and ruin.
Obama with the endorsements of Kennedy, Kerry and Rockafeller’ it’s clear who’ll be leading the country and it won’t be Obama. He is going to look like a puppet very soon if Hillary isn’t the nominee the Democratic party is in for 4 years of McCain and I’m not just whistleing dixie. This country is not ready for another puppet. It will tear the country appart even more than it is now.
Think back - Bill Clinton was not handled - Neither is Hillary. They are both born leaders and work their guts out for the will of the people. So when Hillary wins the nomination or if she squeeks the victory out. Be grateful that the Democrats will take back the White House and Congress!
So who are the sponsers i can boycott? (besides Schmitz, and Summers Eve)
jimbojames @ 19:
And even with all of that being thrown at him he still comes out ahead. Obama just exudes charisma and that is something that can not be taught. You either have it or you don’t. Obama is the type of leader that just makes people want to follow him. To me, on the campaign trail, Clinton is forceful. She almost seems authoritarian sometimes but those are just my observations.
jimbojames @ 19:
Very true. It is amusing to see a woman who, since 1992, has dominated the daily news and political talk complain about not having a “level playing field” when she is running against a young black man. Get real. The post above kinda kills that argument.

Joe O. @ 24:
It’s not just charisma, it’s class. Something the Clintons lack almost entirely.

Danny @ 22:
Bilderburg, the rise of corperate rights, and the eviseration of citizens rights mean anything to you?
I think you would have had a good show if Rudy played Hilliary and vice versa.
natisman @ 28:
That wouldn’t be too hard. Hillary can wear a dress and Rudy can wear a pant suit. Except Hillary would have to shave her head. :)
you say: (I give the edge to Obama at this point) . I say would you really? I wouldn’t.
The Obama skit Clinton referenced at the debate really wasn’t that funny. The audience didn’t seem to be laughing.
Al “The Groundhog” Gore even emerged yesterday.
L.A. Confidential @ 32:
Where? He hasn’t shown his chubby little face for quite a while.
I’d like to see him endorse Obama and finally cut all ties with the Clintons. He doesn’t need them for anything. On the contrary, I think he has a lot more influence on his own.
RHM
mudshark @ 11:
Giuliani is much better doing shtick than running for Prez. It’s much safer for the country as well.
Gouhliani didn’t mention 9-11!!
Was worth watching for that alone (well, almost).
RHM @ 33:
Gore used the stage at a prestigious Technology, Entertainment and Design conference in Monterey, California Saturday to predict winters end.
Welcome to Planet Absurdity!! Screw these clowns!
And Obama, whenever people give you shit about your name just say…
“Eisenhower”!!!
A guy with a German name and german heritage, fighting Germany, our greatest enemy ever.
Nobody thought he was a double agent.
Americans transcend their roots!

This planets freaking NUTS
What pisses these people off is the fact he stays calm and collected. He doesn’t collapse from racism, fear and hate-mongering, he won’t succumb to mocking, and belittling either.
EliteLemming @ 27:
All of the candidates play the same game - pay thier due to the corporations. It IS the way the system has been SET UP.
I’m saying is the corporations are not behind a Clinton this time because they are leaders of the will of the people and Obama is looking more and more like the puppet. Sorry if you disagree. I see it this way and I’m not alone - We all see it through the same lense a little different. I see Hillary as President that can and will be the ticket for the people of the United States and I see Barack oweing too many favors to White Elite.
L.A. Confidential @ 36:
?
L.A. Confidential @ 38:
That’s an understatement. Let’s all talk about which dumbass political butt puppet was funniest while soldiers continue to illegally occupy a foreign nation and countless iraqi’s are homeless and dead. But hey, ruby ghouliani was in a dress and that sure was um… supposed to be funny.
Danny @ 22:
The Big Pharma Lobby hopes you are right, but anybody that cheerleads a post like you have is usually a troll. Or a PiLA.
mudshark @ 41:
Never mind
TED is a very cool conference held every year. Some extremely successful (not to mention bright and creative) people come together and give short lectures which are available on the website. Gore has spoken there before.

I’m saying that she likes things done huss-hush and behind closes doors. And behind those doors, she’s a lobbyhorse. Don’t be sorry i disagree, be proud we can and be civil about it. The other side would call us terrorists.
