'SNL' Palin 'Incest' Skit Angers Viewers Viewers, Bloggers Think Skit Went Over Line
POSTED: 11:30 am EDT September 22, 2008 UPDATED: 12:14 pm EDT September 22, 2008 For the second week in a row, NBC's "Saturday Night Live" has taken to lampooning Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin -- but this time, it has angered conservative viewers over a skit that suggests that the Alaska governor's husband, Todd Palin, was having sex with the couple's daughters.
In the skit, show guest host James Franco plays an assignment editor at the New York Times at the head of an editorial meeting. During a mock assignment meeting where the paper announced that 50 reporters were being sent to look for dirt on Sarah Palin, a Times "reporter" asks, "What about the husband? You know he's doing those daughters. I mean, come on. It's Alaska."
In response, Franco's character said, "He very well could be. Admittedly, there is no evidence of that, but on the other hand, there is no convincing evidence to the contrary. And these are just some of the lingering questions about Gov. Palin."

“That was a slap at conservatives who don’t accept your line of argument regarding incest, no?”
Respectfully, it was a slap at humorless dummies with an “incest” fixation.
“Dude, yes or no?”
Are you coming on to me?!
“Ron Paul may have had pork (in his district or for supper, I don’t know), but he leans libertarian.”
Ron Paul is a nut.
Did you defend SNL and their incest skit? I know that is a difficult question,but all your earlier posts demonstrate that you did and you do.
I am tired of a culture that takes a good and decent woman and drags herself and her family through the mud. I find it amazing that anyone who is remotely conservative would think that a skit satirizing anyone or group with incest as the premise (which the SNL skit is) is acceptable.
When conservatives believe incest is an acceptable premise for humor, what’s next? ***? Necrophilia? Where does it stop?
You really should examine what you are defending. It isn’t conservative, but it sure looks a lot like the hedonistic culture of Hollywood.
I am trying to get you to answer the simple question: Is incest an appropriate topic/premise for humor? You won’t answer directly, but your other comments indicate you find it acceptable. You might consider changing boards; DU would fit your values a bit better, if your comments here are any indication of them.
I finally saw the full 8-minute skit on breitbart.com, and it does primarily seem to be lampooning reporters in general, and NY Times reporters in particular.
“I finally saw the full 8-minute skit on breitbart.com, and it does primarily seem to be lampooning reporters in general, and NY Times reporters in particular.”
You actually watched the skit before making up your mind?
What a concept!
Read my first post and it should be clear to you. No one else seems to be having any problems, but you post to me again and again for a reason I do not know.
You seem to be trolling me. Do not communicate to me again.
“Do not communicate to me again.”
How do you respond to that?!
****************
You don't.
You have to wonder why NBC yanked the video off of YouTube so quickly yesterday. And if it was for copyright issues, then why are other SNL skits still out there on YouTube?
