I loved the pompous reporter that got everything wrong and then when corrected smirks and says “well, you COULD be right” then turns to the guy next to him and winks.
NBC is garbage, from top to bottom. Don’t watch it.
“I couldn’t stop laughing at that - the first reporterette says - a revolver, a Derringer”
I LOVED the guy who kept talking with that authoritative voice - and made himself sound like an expert on everything, but everything coming out of his mouth was BS!
How many time have we seen that?
IMO - this skit was one of the best satire pieces I’ve ever seen.
While the skit may have been aimed at the MSM, the lines could have been toned down a bit to something not involving the kids and that particular subject matter.
NBC and General Electric need to be totally boycotted. After all, GE is supplying materials to Iran. Why do we let these people remain in business?
“They could have made the same point without mentioning incest.”
Please see post #22.
visit the website and read that piece.
What do you think of that?
You do NOT seem to understand the 'RULES' for the MSM in this campaign.
Rule 1 - The MSM canNOT even make fun of Hussein, much less say anything this disgusting or outrageous.
Rule 2 - The MSM (and the democratic party) can smear, libel, attack, humiliate, lie about or just plain make fun of any Republican--as long as the goal is to completely politically DESTROY that candidate or his/her family. Nothing personal--it's just business.
The sooner that we all understand the 'RULES'--the easier it will be on everyone.
“I don’t recall any freepers being upset with him.
SNL was making the exact same point as Iowahawk.”
Errr, SNL has a lot larger audience than Iowahawk, I would think.
Never even heard of Iowahawk before today.
Incest has been committed by grown men on women, girls and infants in the ages of 6,7 months( some younger). INCEST is not FUNNY!
“Errr, SNL has a lot larger audience than Iowahawk, I would think.”
Oh COME ON!!!
That isn’t the point and you know it!
If you are going to be consistent then you should be protesting Iowahawk too.
His incest allegations were even more bizarre.
God forbid some of these posters ever read P. J. O’Rourke. They will have a coronary.
SNL has far more viewers than Iowahawk does, though. And Iowahawk doesn’t have a building that can be burned down, rioted, or products that can be boycotted.
if FCC has any balls they will cancel NBC's broadcasting lisence.
“SNL has far more viewers than Iowahawk does, though. And Iowahawk doesn’t have a building that can be burned down, rioted, or products that can be boycotted.”
That’s not the point.
Are you outraged at his satire?
Or do you think it’s funny?
Short of going after SNL’s advertisers there’s nothing you can do. If you write the network, that just confirms people are watching the show. which is what you want.
Is it possible to do an SNL parody on you-tube? Freep the parody just like polls. Maybe the huge number of hits will attract attention.
They stepped over the line. Todd Palin ought to sue for about $500 million in damages.
Another thing as fruitless...telling people who object to a skit that they really should approve of it.
That sounds familiar...does his writing have to do with hunting or fishing?
If it’s what I’m thinking, I believe my hubby has some of his stuff.
I love PJ O’Rourke.
That's your opinion.
