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.

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

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.

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?

Thanks for the heads-up. Is it worth a FCC complaint?

This is weird. I got a real sense of deja vu reading your post. There was something similar to this a couple of years back, but I can't lock my mind onto it.

Anyway, I had Conan on for a minute last night, and he said, "We really need to reach out to the red states and let the healing begin. I'm serious. We need to have material they can relate to. So, here's shotgun-totin' NASCAR Jesus!" A guy in a robe and beard comes out in a little toy car, carrying a shotgun. I flipped the channel. Not that I didn't know Conan was an idiot anyway.

Just keep letting the left fall on the sword for 2 or 3 percent of the population.
They will never win national office again.

Speaking of SNL, Tina Fey is NOT funny. I can't watch the show anymore and she has a lot to do with it. She is NOT funny. And I state this because people who reguarly tell me that this chick is funny. She sucks.

Oh, and her movie, 'Mean Girls.' It totally SUCKED, other than Lindsey Lohan's huge breasts.

The most sincere form of flattery or just plain old fashioned Derision, either way it was funny to at least 48% of the population.

It did not grow their audience, you just said you won't ever watch again, so it shrunk by at least one.

They operate in the same realm that we do and if they become unprofitable, they will go away.

Sing along with me "Don't Worry, Be Happy"

Its time we all snap the antennas of our roofs and toss em to the curb. There hasn't been anything worth watching on the boob tube for months. After the abysmal election coverage I think we need to send a message to the OM.
