1. I was just going to start a thread about that!

Anyone watching SNL??? Their opening skit was of a Clinton Halloween party and all the Dem. candidates were there talking to Hill and Bill and then someone came with an Obama mask, and he took off the mask and it was REALLY HIM! And he said he doesn't change who he is just because it's Halloween. :D

2. Great Obama mask...

3. And he came as himself in a Barack Obama mask!

4. My husband yells out to me he was on and at first I thought he was joking.

5. This has to be the best kept secret ever!

:D

6. No. We had a warning for Obama supporters to watch the show.

Just a couple of hours ago.

7. Really? Oh, well...

it was a surprise to me. :D

11. I was surpised to see him, too.

13. It was strange...like he was really talking to Hillary.

Very clever skit.

8. That was cool, but Brian Williams should not be doing this gig.

He and NBC have lost all credibility here. Brian Williams is now the Ryan Seacrest of "news." Then again, maybe they're tipping their hat as a wink that they stand for and report nothing. Unfortunately, I don't think that they're smart enough to believe that we are that smart. No. They really believe that we are so stupid that we will tune-in to NBC News with Brian Williams because he can play characters on SNL.

And this after that miserable job of moderating the last Democratic pageant show. (We've not had real debates for decades.)

He has officially jumped the shark as a fame seeker. Move on. Nothing of substance here.

9. He's doing a great job.

Are you a Hillary supporter by chance?

[countmyvote4real]

10. No. I do not support another return to empire.

I am more of an Edwards supporter although Dodd has begun to impress me.

And I still think the opening with Obama was cool. I just don't think that news reporters should be cultivated by personality marketing.

[jenmito]

12. OK, sorry...

but I see no problem with Williams doing SNL. :shrug:
