2. I'm hoping they will do some real good parody of him...you know, they
let Clinton on and then did a spoof on her which we all know now was not for her but against her. So, hopefully, they will do the same honors to McBush.....

6. I was at the dress rehearsal. He has 2 spots (spoilers below)
One of them he makes jokes about dumb "pork barrel" spending projects (not funny).

On Update, he says Dems should take as much time as they need to pick a nominee. "Should Hillary drop out?" "Of course not, she should stay in as long as she wants." Says the Dems don't even have to pick a nominee at the convention...they should hold a bunch of conventions, because "when they end, it's all 'Oh well, the convention is over, we picked a nominee.'" And said if they don't have one by election day he'd happily support putting them both on the ballot..

Aka, not funny.

12. There were a few good lines I'll say...I mean he's hosted the show
so it wasn't a total dud. But I'd say mostly not funny.

He got a pretty good reaction.

15. Next week's hosts are the Military Junta of Burma and the
week after will be North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il of North Korea
doing funny bits.

The asshole should be in prison not on SNL
Good Grief people, he's a War Criminal that legitimized Torture
and Spied illegally on American Citizens.

SNL SUCKS

16. I'm sorry.
I actually found the skit pretty funny. He should definitely spend his time doing comedy instead of making speeches. Better yet, do it instead of running at all!

17. you were right, he was not very funny,
and you forgot to tell us about the Gaydar Jammer? What I got out of the skit is that he is an "old homophobe who has neglected his state of Arizona".

18. The first piece was not flattering to say the least
He came off like he had no clue how lame he sounded.

19. segment 2 was soooo lame......
"fight among yourselves" best line of the night, though. Ain't that the truth? How's our mirror?

22. Remember when he hosted a few years back?
Edited on Sun May-18-08 12:21 AM by msallied
It achieved levels of weirdness I didn't think were possible, like when he dressed in drag. Only Rudy Guiliani seems comfortable in that role.
