No

Democrats are Constitutionally immune from being held to the same standards as Republicans. I know this cuz I see it happen all the time. Democrat’s corruption doesn’t count.

SNL is so not funny. It’s all in bad taste. I’ve made a promise this year not to watch anything on NBC or MSNBC (including their Fall line-up). The only exeption I make is for Kudlow on CNBC.

The last time Al Franken was funny, Jimmy Carter was in office. Been a long dry spell. A dry hole you might say...

He wasn't funny then either. I am proud to say that I always despised franken, even in the late 70's.

I think they violated the “has to be funny in at least some small way” law.

This morning on Today they said that there wasn’t anything to make fun of Obama on...wish I had the exact quote...

I’m tempted to send NBC a Barack Obama Energy Plan (tire gauge).

Did Obama violate the Logan act? Of course he did but so what? He’s immune.

“SNL is so not funny. It’s all in bad taste. I’ve made a promise this year not to watch anything on NBC or MSNBC (including their Fall line-up). The only exeption I make is for Kudlow on CNBC.”

SNL used to have all those funny Canadian guys, and lots of good intrinsically funny homegrown talent like Chris Farley. Today it’s just a bunch of snotty drama-club types who think they are smarter than everyone else. It’s all hate-the-right-wingers dark satire instead of funny sendups.

Some of them (Jim Breuer comes to mind) can’t even keep a straight face while acting!
