but hey, don’t worry about thinking for yourself, I’m sure Rush will tell you what to think about something he’s admitted he hasn’t seen as well, and you’ll be more than willing to swallow it.

LOL. Thanks! Why the beef with Rush? When did I mention Rush? I'll spell it out....I don't think jokes about incest are funny. Jokes about incest must not bother you. Fine.

Whether one found the skit funny or not was what this discussion has been about. The discussion has been about folks claiming that the point of the skit was attacks on the Palin family, and claiming outrage over it which it clearly was not.

No decent person does.

If you haven't seen the skit, I think you will find it difficult to understand why it was a slam on the media and really didn't touch Palin.

Obviously incest is a ugly subject - but that doesn't mean that it can't be discussed.

In the skit, one of the reporters makes a reference that incest obviously happened. The "Trainer" leading the group basically played the a professional "straight man" taking the incest comment with with a sort of sardonic incredulousness - basically taking the comment as those from a fool - which is the way all the reporters were portrayed in this skit - as fools. Kudos to SNL for lampooning the media.

Like I said earlier, I was surprised and pleased. I wouldn't want my young kids to have been exposed to this - as incest is an adult topic of discussion, but then young kids should not be watching any late night TV.

Having said all that, the rest of the show pretty much stank (we just happened to be watching it for the first time in about 6 mo.)

regards
