Oh, those poor SNL writers! Their sad story reminds me of one of my favorite jokes.

Q: How many feminists does it take to change a light bulb?
A: That's not funny!

To SNL, it`s hard to find a joke when you are the joke.

Maybe they could have just rerun their spoofs of the 2008 CNN debate where the SNL guys posing as CNN people would ask Obama questions like are you comfortable, do you need a drink of water and then ask Hillary the tough questions.

You know, like how most of the RAT infested media whores do it in real life.

Obama's problem is he's so used to having an advantage in his favor (fawning media, hit jobs on the opposition) that when it's an even fight, he's underarmed.

''Um...um....uh....uh...''
I guess they missed that one.

Because of SNL's political leanings towards the way left, they should have taken Mark Levin's advice after Obama's debacle: Go into their bedrooms, lock the door and pull the covers over their heads.

Just take the week off next time, SNL.

Thank you, #1. That is the first thing I thought of, too.

Almost all their political sketches are lousy...broad...skewed.

This one was remarkably anti-Obama.

Which I enjoyed. Although I didn't laugh anywhere. (They should forget doing political sketches

)

Saturday Night Live isn't funny anyway, and never has been.

(try watching the first season on DVD sometime. Even "the classic" season is stupid and unwatchable)

I'd have loved to see the old Jim Belushi reruns of ''We're White Guys!'' Those were funny. White folks have no trouble laughing at themselves.

Whatever their difficulty, they came up with enough material to royally skewer O and MSNBC. They've always been great at parody of the debates.

Jay Pharoah does a horrible Obama impersonation. Really this does not pass for broadcast. SNL says they couldn't find anything funny and the show reflected that. The show was the worst they have ever broadcast. If SNL is going to engage the NYTs as writers, they should know that is propaganda not satire.

The Bush/algore parodies were hilarious. They have not been funny since. SNF does not realize that they are now the joke. They can't see the forest for the trees. I imagine if they had pulled five people off the street those guys could have come up with some funny lines. Funnier than what they came up with. Whomever was able to make algore look like a boob in those parodies is no longer on staff or is afraid of being called a racist if they unleash on obama.

Well. I thought it was funny!

The debate I mean....plenty BIG jokes there.

I was not thrilled when they called Mitt a liar, but overall, they did ridicule Obama, and we all know that is a cornerstone of Alinsky tactics. It is very promising to see it happening finally.

That's okay SNL. I got more laughs at Obama's expense from the actual debate than I have from the past twenty years of your stupid show.

If you want to see a truly funny SNL sketch, check out "Dukakis After Dark" from 1988. Phil Hartmann should have won an Emmy for his role as a drunk Ted Kennedy (redundant, I know).

I actually can see this; in order to do worse than Obama actually did, they'd have to go to the extreme mocking -- like having Obama talk in nonsense language that no one understood, puking on himself, or something beyond the pale.

They did this with Bush II, drunk ("Hello, old friend!"), the world falling apart, etc.

And they did it with Sarah Palin.

But they've got so much invested in Obama, it would be impossible.

Maybe someone should tell SNL that it wasn't supposed to be funny! There is not much funny at all about this election. Well, except for Joe Biden of course. He's always good for a laugh unless you're one of those middle class folks who have been buried for the last 4 years.

As long as Loren Michaels is the producer this show will never make fun of anyone on the left especially Mr. Obama. I've got a great idea, let's not give them any more attention, or ink, or comments...let's just ignore them and let them slowly become irrelevant and fade away!

Is anyone going to watch the Ryan/Biden debate? I want to, think it would be great fun, but...Joe's teeth. Joe's teeth scare me to death. They want to eat me!

Their problem was all the obvious comedy hits are on Obama with Romney as the straight man and the SNL writers could not bring themselves to laugh at the guy they are hopelessly in love with.

They could have had Obama completely distracted, even wandering off the stage at one point. But that would be so close to what actually happened that it would have made the SNL writers nervous.

Then when Obama is off stage Mitt looks over and sees only an empty chair. Obama running back up to the podium and breathlessly saying "Could you repeat the question Bob... er...uh... Jim."

The next shot is Romney looking over in shock to see Obama pigging out on some fast food, ketchup smeared on his mouth. And then sneaking a cigarette.

Then Obama catches a look from Michelle off stage with crossed arms and a glare and he ditches the food and cigarette.

Moments later Mitt looks over and Obama has wandered off again and at the edge of the stage with a couple of guys shooting hoops.

And finally Obama exits the debate entirely while putting on his golf gloves and hoisting his clubs over his shoulder.

Romney's mouth is agape. Lehrer seemingly has noticed nothing while concentrating on his earpiece and hits Romney with a challenging question as if Obama had actually responded instead of just leaving. This strongly implies Obama and Lehrer had colluded together ahead of time and the question and answer was pre scripted.

The graphic empty chair cartoons, among others, abounded afterward, yet SNL couldn't think of any jokes about that 0bama debacle?!!! ...
SNC's come undone. zzzzzzzzzz

Heck, they could have taken a few jabs at his race. It's what got him elected; should be worth a laugh or two now!

OK......OK.....OK the joke's on me, I thought the Debate was SNL... and one of their best show's.

The mess that Obama has created is no laughing matter. This country needs someone (Romney) with common sense and a spirit of love/concern for this country, not a party man, like Obama!
