Reply #11: Jack Tapper: SNL Skits Hillary Clinton Won't Be Referencing Anytime Soon [View All]

[Scurrilous]

"Since Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., thinks a "Saturday Night Live" skit skewering media infatuation with Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., is so poignant, perhaps it's worth mentioning other skits from that show should be considered authoritative sources as well?

The show, it should be pointed out, has done skits in the past poking fun of the media being unfair to her during debates...

Such as this one from eight years ago where "Tim Russert" is portrayed as being unfair to her during a Senate debate.

But then there are some other skits that maybe Clinton wouldn't find as amusing

Such as the brilliant one from last year where Amy Poehler as "Hillary Clinton" discusses her Iraq war vote on "Hardball."

"Chris, I think most Democrats know me. They understand that my support for the war was always insincere," Poehler-as-Clinton says. "Of course, knowing what we know now, that you could vote against the war and still be elected president, I would never have pretended to support it."
