The ‘outrage’ over this innocent skit is absurd unless you are defending the reputation of the MSM—notably the New York Times.

This skit skewers them and their ridiculous bias against Sarah Palin and her family. They’ve orchestrated one of the most reprehensible smear campaigns based on basically nothing—and SNL crucifies them for it and *conservatives* object?!?

The whole point was SNL satirizing the behavior of the ‘elite’ media and their treatment of the Palin family!

No, that's not the point. The SNL crew intended to associate the word "incest" with our candidate.

They used the NYT as a tool.

A real attack on the NYT would not have included any of the current candidates ~ maybe they could have used Al Franken as their foil.

That may be true, but they could've chosen another way rather than lending credence to the fantasies of left-wing bloggers.

Satire? Can’t wait until they satirize Obama...

I saw it as an insult to Alaskans and regular people from a bunch of childish, boorish, leftist dopes who think they are funny.

You think they had a message... good for you... they disgust me.
