SNL: 11/1/2008 Political Sketches

[NFS4]

Is anyone watching this Keith Olbermann sketch -- it's going on pretty long, but damn I'm cracking up at Ben Affleck's impersonation

And the opening QVC bit with the real McCain and "fake" Sarah Palin was pretty good as well.

Yeah, but Olbermann had me rolling -- the smugness was pitch perfect

Olbermann's is awesome. His ego is going to inflate double-fold on Monday.

Olbermann's ego and his Brit-bitch, Richard Wolfe. Those two are like two peas in the pod and Wolfe kisses Keith's ass so much it ain't even funny.

It's got a strong basis in reality.

Opening was very well done. I was surprised to see Cindy.
I really think McCain was enjoying himself.
I guess we have possibly one more chance to see Fey as Palin, thats on the SNL election special, which I believe is primetime on Monday.

I thought I heard that Obama was going to be on yet, Monday night?

McCain Feingold -- priceless

Double Maverick, Sad Grandpa

McCain did a great job, and I thought Cindy making a cameo appearance was perfect. It kinda sucked that he got some boo's during the Weekend Update.

He actually seems like a decent guy and has a good sense of humor.

Harvey Senior AT Mod

Ya, he's funny. I too find him to be a nice guy from the various appearances I've seen him at over the years, but I find his shenanigans in the Campaign rather disgusting.

 

[jpeyton]

Can't hurt, especially with the millions of votes that the other Fey sketches cost his campaign.

 

[deftron]

He should have gone witth he "Sad-Grandpa" for real

Think it might have worked better than the whole terrorist thing.

 

[Baked]

Did you see the commercial for Valkyrie? Tome Cruise as Nazi pirate! Awesome.

 

[palehorse]

not bad...

 

[seemingly random]

He's still a sell out. No amount of comedy will erase that.

 

[RichardE]

People with a high emotional pendelum are typically like McCain. Very good making people laugh, and being that laid back kind of guy, but also very prone to anger and outbursts.


On another note, how the hell does Cindy look younger than Palin.

Great line.
Although truth in advertising laws should have required McCain to say "I am just a paid endorser and I don't actually recommend the product"

The olbermann was great. I cannot find a link.
