I dunno. It was kinda funny. The Palin sketches are kinda funny. Wiig didn’t have much funny there. They put her right at the top. First sketch.
You seem to be operating under the assumption that these things actually could be hurting Christine. I’d say that a sketch pretty much just like this was foreseeable in May. Because stuff like this is what I figured would happen if she won the primary.
The premise of the sketch seemed too obvious to be funny, and O’Donnell is a small target compared with Obama. SNL has a far richer source of satire there.
