Saturday, December 19th, 2015How SNL Fluffs the Hillary Campaign
Monday, October 19th, 2015Saturday Night Live did a skit on the Democratic Presidential debate:
On the surface it’s a skit that ostensibly takes a shot at everyone equally (and even touches on Hillary’s email scandal). However, take a look at one central visual fact:
So Sanders is played by someone Hillary Clinton’s age (old), and Hillary Clinton is played by someone half her age (young). The skit is constructed to reinforce the false Sanders old, Clinton young impression, which suggests the reason why SNL choose non-cast-member Larry David to play Sanders. David did write for the show during the 1984—1985 season (where he worked with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who he would later cast in Seinfeld); to put it another way, David worked on SNL the same year McKinnon was born.
Washington Post “Fact-Checks” An SNL Skit
Monday, November 24th, 2014You know that Saturday Night Live Schoolhouse Rock parody I put up yesterday?
The Washington Post actually put up fact-checking piece on it.
Hey, remember all those times the Washington Post fact-checked SNL skits of George W. Bush and Sarah Palin?
Me neither.
Twitchy had a field day.
Other important Washington Post fact-checks:

#WaPoFactChecks A cable public access show run by high school students would be unable to book a high-profile band like Aerosmith.

The lengths to which Obama’s media praetorian guard will go to protect him are officially beyond parody.
SNL Updates Schoolhouse Rock for the Obama Era
Sunday, November 23rd, 2014Who needs all that tedious Bill-wrangling on Capitol Hill when you can just issue an Executive Order?
I’m Gonna Get Me A Shotgun And Kill All the Whiteys That I See!
Monday, August 26th, 2013“Ayo Kimathi is an employee at the Department of Homeland Security. His job description? Purchasing ammunition and weapons. He’s also the owner of waronthehorizon.com, a website dedicated to advocating the murder of white people.”
The cherry on top? “He’s also a homophobe.”
This was on a lot of blogs last week, but I’m linking to it now so I can embed this classic SNL video of Garrett Morris singing “I’m Gonna Get Me A Shotgun And Kill All the Whiteys That I See!”, which I think embodies the spirit of Kimathi’s website.
Update: That video appears to be dead, so here’s one of Garrett Morris talking about it that includes just a snippet of it.
Catchy little ditty, isn’t it?

Wisconsin Democrats Go for the Walter Mondale Strategy
Wednesday, April 18th, 2012The one where you tell potential voters “I’m going to raise your taxes.” We all know how well that worked out for him:
Sadly, the Saturday Night Live “What Were You Thinking?” skit with Mondale does not appear to be anywhere online…
