So, with politics in full swing and a lot of people teeter tottering on who to pick? Let me help put things into perspective. We have a world economy crisis, multiple wars on terrorism, serious moral issues in question and our next leader is trying to get elected on Saturday Night Live. Isn't this the same show that has made fun of every President and politician since it became socially ok to make fun of your President on national T.V.? It is amazing that our Politicians have chosen such an unusual stage to fight to the end on. I mean, what once was a late Saturday night show of comedians banding together to make fun of whatever the current pop culture has to offer is now the platform to solve those above issues. I mean think about it, our current presidential hopefuls are seriously volunteering to poke fun of themselves in front of the very audience that for years never voted or cared about politics? The type of crowd and that typically doesn't agree with anything that comes out of the White House. I just think its well, unique. Another thought, before the election, both will volunteer to make fun of themselves and make multiple guest appearances but weeks later when one is called President, he will never go to SNL to 'connect with the people' again. Is it it because President's have better things to do with their time? Seriously, I have no idea, why is this? (Also, how odd is it that these politicians go there and meet the people that have been making fun of them for weeks. I mean, how does the Tina Fey and Sarah Palin meeting go down?) In closing, It is just amazing to me that our world has come to (not that I think its horribly negative) the world's most powerful man (the next President) has pit stops on a satirical saturday night comedy show, just days and weeks before they get elected. Can you imagine Cesaer Augustus poking fun of himself before being crowned or Winston Churchill making himself the center of laughter?
This being said, watch both SNL skits and tell me who you thought did a better job?
