Will Al Franken be penning all their scripts?
They have been lobbing bombs at both sides (more or less.)

Back in 1963-65, it was called “That Was the Week That Was”.

Just more undermining of the culture in the name of “Comedy” or it's media Cousins “Reality TV”.
It has been going on for years and in the process millions of Citizens have come to be unable to differentiate between Truth and so-called Entertainment.

A couple of Tina Fey impressions is funny. But every night? This sounds like the Fonz taking over 'Happy Days', or Urkel taking over 'Family Matters' - - the character gets overexposed, grows old fast, and then the show dies.

I hate that news has become entertainment and important issues are disingenuously boiled down into sound bites--and then the sound bites become the issues. And we all get dumber for it.

Oh Joy! more cutting edge humor from uncomedic, airheads who were told by thier socialist friends they were funny. This show has not been funny since the days of John Belushi

I guess sliding ratings just on the weekend aren’t enough for them.

I agree. I’ve never watched since the original crew. It was somewhat cutting-edge then, it’s just infantile now.

This will get big ratings, and sometimes any press is good press. Fey’s character is lovable.

“More free air time for the Marxists.”
Exactly. The SNL bunch is trying to set the skinny, feckless, Tina Fey in people’s minds as the “real” Governor Sarah Palin. She is not. Let America see the real Governor Palin as she is in her role as Governor of the Great State of Alaska, sitting at the Governor’s desk, talking seriously with “dignitaries”, functioning in the legislative halls with ease, standing before the state legislature giving her “State of the State” address, touring the pipeline and various infrastructure of Alaska in videos made over the last two years . . . and run it while Tina Fey is on. It was cute the first time, but now it isn’t. . . .

They are trying to discredit Palin! The attacks will become stronger. I kinda look at Tina Fey as being the stupid one. They probably don’t even have to write a script for her. She already thinks that way! It just might backfire on them!
To: callthemlikeyouseethem
Suppose they have some brand new cutting edge Republicans are dumb skits. Same joke since Reagan.
