Saturday Night Live
Foxheads love the idea of a Palin-Beck presidential ticket
By David Neiwert Saturday Jan 16, 2010 7:00am
There's been chatter among the Tea Party classes the past few weeks about the possibility of a Sarah Palin-Glenn Beck presidential ticket -- even though Beck himself has laughed it off.
But the notion popped onto the airwaves the other morning on Fox & Friends, when Gretchen Carlson gushed, along with Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade, about Palin's appearance on Beck's show the day before:
Doocy: One other thing I think we should point out, they did challenge Saturday Night Live to put them on as guest hosts -- together.
Kilmeade: They should take that up.
Carlson: Some people are saying they might be on the ticket together, down the road. Maybe Saturday Night Live will be the first stop.
I'm trying to decide if these people's fantasies would be a dream come true, or our worst nightmare.

By David Sunday Oct 11, 2009 2:30pm
SNL's Bill Hader spoofed James Carville responding to Rush Limbaugh's attack on President Barack Obama after he won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rush Limbaugh, now how does a fellow like that have fans? Don't worry, he's mean and fat. How are you going to call him Rush? that's a terrible name for a slow fat man, Seth. only place he's rushing to is Quiznos. Free double meat and wave some coupon he made on a home computer. He should win the Nobel piece of pie.

Saturday Night Live: The Rock Obama
By Heather Wednesday Mar 11, 2009 5:00am
SNL spoofs The Hulk and Rahm Emanuel with their parody "The Rock Obama". Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson actually does a pretty good job here as an impulsive Obama. I already knew he had a knack for comedy after his performance in Be Cool. Maybe Be Cool is not everyone's cup of tea but I thought the movie was very funny and Johnson's performance contributed greatly to why I enjoyed it.
I don't want to ruin it for anyone who hasn't already watched the clip but a very short synopsis is in order. The Rock Obama is not as nice to Tom Coburn, Kay Bailey Hutchinson and John McCain as the real life Obama would be, much to Rahm Emanuel's disappointment.
I'll leave any more spoilers than that to the comments section.
