CLINTON: SNL WARS
MSNBC ^ | March 13, 2008 | Staff

** EXCERPT **

So apparently Clinton is truly back in the game for the Dem nod. How do we know? The RNC sent out a fundraising email focused solely on Clinton, something the GOP committee hasn't done in over a month.

In her interview with NPR this morning, Clinton defended her role in the Northern Ireland peace process. She acknowledged that she was neither a principal negotiator nor at the negotiating table. But she described role as "instrumental."

Bad news for Clinton? Both the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times did stories about the speculation SNL is in the tank for Clinton. The show's writers and producers deny the charge and now the likelihood they over compensate is very likely. Per the New York Times: "The show did ask Mr. Obama to appear this week, and Mr. Downey wrote an editorial response for him to deliver, but the senator declined. ‘I hope it was scheduling and not because he hates us,’ Mr. Downey said."

The LA Times: "For the most part, the writers said they believe the show's balance is apparent over time, although the program did consciously try to spoof Clinton last week. Playing off her ominous ‘3 a.m.’ ad that suggested Obama lacked the experience to handle a crisis, the piece showed stark black-and-white photos of a panicked President Obama calling Clinton at home for help. ’If anything, it was sympathetic toward Obama,’ Michaels said, though he admitted not everyone saw it that way.”

“Rush wants Clinton in the WH and he played his audience as succors.”

And here folks, we have an example of when good spell checkers go bad. ;)

Perhaps you should have directed your post to the person who made the misspelling, rather then to me, who simply quoted them verbatim.

It was just a general post. not directed at you, or even the original poster...Just got a laugh from the word the spell checker substituted for the one intended by the typist, and the image it conjured. ;)
