Bill Clinton was presdient of the United States, had his affair in the Oval Office, lied under oath about it, had volumes research written about it, and got impeached. Those other scandals pale in comparison. One large part of the Clinton legacy will be late night jokes. Just try mentioning Bill Clinton and the word "cigar" in the same sentence and count the seconds before someones cracks a joke.

There's a paradox though... although the right wing is populated with plenty of amazingly venal characters... they are also unrelentingly GREY!!!! These guys don't lend themselves to fame or imagination. Clinton was famous world over... a compelling personality ... his political ideology was seen as one of expansion and largesse. Now look at Vitter.. Coburn... Jindahl... Sanford... when you think of any one of them you have NO problem thinking of them as the guy in accounting who reams you out because you've used too many bic pens that months. Sure you can lampoon them but nobody KNOWS them and nobody cares to know them. It's the left's signature problem re: messaging!!! The right wing media and communications are all about SHAPING the debate and DEFINING the opposition.. dry stuff that.. but get guys like Roger Ailes or Andy Breitbart who also get the tabloid aspect of plumping up your targets by attaching the salacious hook to them. The right wing covers Democrats like they are Lindsay Lohan... attractive but flawed... whereas the left covers Republicans like Amy Winehouse repulsive and oh did you know she uses a C street crackhouse?

yes he is. But laughing so hard at a former president is kinda said, eh?

said * = sad

Thank you - I like SNL better now than during the Sandler years, by far. Everyone on there is really talented, standouts to me being Wiig and Thompson.

He's serious about the work and is cool but is certainly still open to tremendous comic jabs... the problem is the kind of knee jerk reflexive comedy that is the extent of SNL's political humor doesn't work without resorting to crudities that would not go over well. If it wasn't Obama.. Kenan Thompson would be pressed into service to do a non-imitation vaguely dressed to look like him and make jokes about "Oh I see.. I'm the first black President so I gotta stay in the hotel overlooking the KFC, huh?" I mean... THIS is the show that managed to get a classic episode while being hosted by JULIAN BOND!!! The job of the comedian is to find the funny.. and when you have an ensemble cast you have opportunities to do all sorts of comic riffs. Unfortunately.. SNL now has two kinds of comics.. those who do neurotic characters and those that just say things and glower at the camera.. Rachel Dratch vs. Horatio Sanz or Kristen Wiig vs. ahem.. Jason Sudeikis who to my mind has to be the worst guy at this job I've ever seen. Just ALWAYS making that one manic face and blurting out lines in the same voice and same cadence no matter what he's doing?

The Obamanator with Dwayne The Rock Johnson was priceless.

Zinger - LMAO! Not to mention that the republicans had their affairs outted by the great pattriot...Larry Flynt? Revenge!

That's not fair... Republicans at least are TRYING to fall back in love with their wives.. even if they have to fly to Argentina to make sure... uhm.... can't wait for the Mrs. Sanford book...
