I'm never watching Saturday Night Live again

I can't believe what I just saw on that show. If you watched it, you know what I'm talking about. The "funhouse" skit...

I can't believe what I just saw on that show. If you watched it, you know what I'm talking about. The "funhouse" skit showing Bush talking to a "conservative" audience, Bush supposedly curing gay couples on the stage, the cure consumated with a vile sexual display in front of the stunned Bush cartoon audience.

The whole cartoon was the most vile, wrongheaded attack against mainstream American values (in particular White conservatives and Christians) that I have ever seen on television. Their portrayals were flat wrong, their vitriol toward Christians beyond the pale. If you watched the same thing, maybe you're typing out something like this.

IMAGINE if they had done a scetch making fun of some other ethnic or religious group. The Saturday Night Live bunch must think everyone is like them. I've been watching the show since the 1970s when I was a kid. No more, that was it.

I stopped watching SNL years ago. C'mon...it's in New York. It's run by Liberals. What the heck did you expect?

The guy who does TV Funhouse is a Clinton supporter. Nuf said.

You're both right. I guess old habits are hard to break.

I was heartened by the fact that no one laughed. It bombed big time.

I second that! I was watching the bounty hunter show on HBO, after I watched the boxing. Screw SNL and its liberal following.

I haven't watched SNL in a while. It's simply not funny anymore. Their writing has done nothing but try to convey a political message and it is disappointing. MAD TV did it tonight too. When all the writers and actors do is use these shows as a soapbox, it's not funny and usually ends up irritating me. This is supposed to be about comedy. I long for the glory days of both shows.

Unfortunately, it will probably only get worse as the ire from Bush's re-election continues to grow on the left.

I don't know; I turned the channel and it's not going back.

Why would one watch that tripe in the first place?

Haven't watched SNL since Murray, Ackroid and the gang. Even then it was a bit much at times. We are indeed Slouching towards Gomorrah

SNL has been a stupid show for the last 10 years.

I quit watching SNL about the time it stopped being funny. Around 1985.

I was equally disturbed. There was no comedic value, and it sounded like more of the same bitter gnashing of teeth. This is what to expect as the years go by. It will be a dangerous lifestyle to be publicly Christian.

National Council of LaRaza confirms that Alberto Gonzales is one of their members.

Is this true?
