Did anyone else thoroughly enjoy The Barack and Michelle Obama Variety Half-hour on SNL this weekend?

"Guys, I'm standing right here!" ~ Pres. Bill Clinton.

I enjoyed it mildly. It was okay. I think SNL is having trouble finding ways to mock Barack. Which is fine! I'll be perfectly happy to have a president with a lack of make-funnable qualities.

The standout for me is Jason Sudekis as smilin' Joe Biden. His cheesiness cracks me up.

Agreed.  I don't think they're really looking for ways to mock Barack though.  I think they all want him to win, material be damned.

Just as long as Armesan doesn't work any Jello-era Cosby into his Obama impression.

I was thinking of asking Tom if he could ask Bill Hader to work a little more ... Ah, forget it.


"I was in the shower and it occurred to me why the Hendersons named their guest "Harry."  That movie has layers!" ~ Jack Doneghy, 30 Rock.

Dear Julie:

Vote as much as possible! Vote in large amounts. Vote for others. Vote 'til you can't vote no mo'.

Fido, you only get one vote. Luckily, I live in OH and my vote counts for a lot more than most of the country.
I have a long history of booing

Biden would be there for the hoots though.  I've really grown to like the guy, but I can definitely laugh at him without resenting him (at least so far).

Anyone who votes for McCain is a real piece of shit.

This has been a REAL FACT MINUTE with Todd.

If I live in New York do I still have to vote? My legs are tired.

Either way, I am voting Todd's French-Bull-Dog-in-a-track-suit cutest avatar ever.

You still have to vote Pete. Even if 60% of New Yorkers vote for Obama, that's a significant fact. And lots will still be made of the popular vote, however irrelevant it is to the outcome of the election.

Plus we have to set an example for folks in less-enlighted, backwater-ish non-elite swing states where people are not as wise as we are.

You still have congressional and state races you can vote for Pete.
