During the Weekend Update segment on the April 11 show, SNL's news anchor, Seth Myers, delivered this “news” item, illustrated by a creative matching graphic:
A new comic is being published this summer called 'Barack the Barbarian' which features the President in a loin cloth. Also featuring the President in a loin cloth: Chris Matthews' daydreams.
Not that much of a stretch. Or maybe no stretch at all.

The Graphic
Sun, 04/12/2009 - 03:02 ET by DoktorFrankenThe picture of Chrissy daydreaming of Hussein was NOT PhotoShopped. It was extracted directly from what is left of Matthews' brain.
This is what liberals don't
Sun, 04/12/2009 - 05:20 ET by motherbeltThis is what liberals don't understand about humor: it's not just ridicule and venom with "It's a joke!" tacked on the end.
In order for a joke to be funny, there has to be an element of truth to it.
And I think there's more than an element here....LOL

More Than An Element?
Sun, 04/12/2009 - 07:51 ET by DoktorFrankenHell, there's a few tons of ore there. Chrissy McTingle literally DROOLS over Hussein and his Man-Boobs. When Chrissy gets invited to spend a night at the White House there will be more than a tingle running down his leg.
My apologies for these truths on such a Holy Day. Easter will not stop the Left's attacks, however.

About how the train's comin' through . . . . right now?
About how we can be persecuted to the fullest extent of the law?

I watched the show last
Sun, 04/12/2009 - 13:49 ET by balboaI watched the show last night. This was a funny bit! There are more and more people making fun of people slobbering all over Obama.
But not the Bamster
Sun, 04/12/2009 - 14:01 ET by slickwillie2001But notice they are still too terrified to lay a hand on the Bamster himself. Biden is an easy target for ridicule, in fact I believe that is part of why he is chosen, he is like flypaper that keeps the comics away from Barrky. Scott McGibbs is also another easy diversion.
Somehow ...
Sun, 04/12/2009 - 06:11 ET by legacyrepublicanI think them adding a Tarzan yell would make cinch it since we all know that it would send a thrill up Chris' leg to watch it.
NOW
Sun, 04/12/2009 - 06:21 ET by jacktheripperif they would start satirizing the Telepromter in Chief life would seem somewhat normal....I mean the jokes write themselves with this guy, from the big ears to the chesire cat grin to the uh uh uh's I mean seriously I could be a writer!!! Think I could get some stimulus money for a new career ?

The Terms Are
Sun, 04/12/2009 - 08:40 ET by rightwingidiotThe terms are "pitcher" and "catcher".
I'm sure Chrissy boy wants to be the catcher. Since all of us are going to be metaphorically taking it up the butt with Obeyme's policies, Chrissy wants o experience the real thing.
I know, that's nasty. But Chrissy just puts me in that mood.
Ick!
Sun, 04/12/2009 - 09:23 ET by RukusTele: What ya need Crissy/
Crissy: I need to hook up with O, please.
Tele: Sorry, not my job. Here meet my associate, he'll set ya up.
Telepimpter: Hey Crissy, let's talk...

Teleprompters are too easy
Sun, 04/12/2009 - 11:11 ET by RukusI posted a 'prompter fight in another thread a while back that I thought was funny, if I do say so myself. ; ) Hehe! Ain't I a stinker! : )

Union Getting Involved
Mon, 04/13/2009 - 00:02 ET by rightwingidiotNow they've done it! WH Teleprompter Union officials are now calling for increased wages and fewer working hours for Obeyme's prompters (the slang term used exclusively by WH staff). It seems that some of the prompters were spotted shopping at a DC gun shop for assault weapons.
The story is that with only 12 prompters, each one was having to work too many hours since Obeyme can't utter more than three words without one. He's been taking them into oval office staff meetings and pretty much anywhere he has to speak.
The pressure on the prompters has been mounting and the fear is that soon, some of them might go "prompter" (like going postal except, well you know).
This new call will limit the hours that each prompter can work and with fewer working hours their wages had to be increased to compensate. They also worked out a new benefit program and retirement package.
Can't be having them prompters going on strike. We'd never hear from Obeyme again. Not that that's a bad thing.

Last chance
Sun, 04/12/2009 - 07:59 ET by ricklailThere are only about 20 hours left to vote in the poll on my blog "Who is the most dispicable person in the broadcast media?" (Scroll to the bottom of the page.) So far Bathtub boy is lapping the field. Come on and let's get some more votes for Chrissy. The poll will end in the morning at 8:30

LIBERALS LIKE BARBARIANS

Any polls on this?
Sun, 04/12/2009 - 08:45 ET by slickwillie2001We are getting into poll opportunity here; maybe one of the bigs need to do a poll asking 'do you see the Bamster as a sex symbol', and tabulate by sex and party.
It's so homo.
Sun, 04/12/2009 - 09:24 ET by Rod PatrickThe idea of Chrissy and GayBaracko doing it while the BlackUglyWoman is watching IS SO yuckkie
Pweh!
No Stretch at all
Sun, 04/12/2009 - 11:34 ET by DelsaAnd if Chris and SOBama were not married????
I guess SNL isn't always so liberal.
Sun, 04/12/2009 - 22:11 ET by respectfulconservativeI thought SNL was horribly biased in favor of liberals? You guys love to claim that when it suits your general belief in liberal media bias.
When SNL does poke fun at liberals you laugh and post it on NEWSBUSTERS but you don't give them any credit for it. That is not fair. This week they made fun of Biden constantly during the first sketch of the show. Parodies of Maddow, Olbermann, Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi don't satisfy you. What the heck?
Biden and Matthews are Jokes
Sun, 04/12/2009 - 23:43 ET by NoMoreChangeJoe and Chrissy are walking jokes. SNL used Biden to make fun of Cheney. It never ends. Get back to me when they make ONE joke about Obama. Oh, and in case you haven't noticed, Jimmy Fallon has all his SNL friends on his show to continue to bash Bush and Palin.
I've got to say, I feel sorry for Matthew's children.
Mon, 04/13/2009 - 05:48 ET by thebutlerdiditCan you imagine what the parent's of some of their schoolmates say at home in front of their kids?
All a Democrat needs is the upper-story window of public attention and the chamber pot of rhetoric. How else to explain the rise of Joe Biden? P.J. O' Rourke

Sell your soap to someone else.
One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 61% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory (yep...approval for Congress now at 39%...do you believe that!?).
