Saturday Night Live Again Begins Show Trashing Romney, Makes Disgusting Gay Joke About Marcus Bachmann

By Noel Sheppard | April 15, 2012 | 10:51

As NewsBusters reported last week, now that Mitt Romney appears set to win the Republican presidential nomination, Saturday Night Live is going to do its darnedest to trash him every week through Election Day.

This pattern continued Saturday as for the second week in a row the program began with a segment attacking the former Massachusetts governor while also taking shots at all the other candidates including a disgusting homosexual reference to Michele Bachmann's husband Marcus (transcribed lowlights and commentary follow, video for those that can stand it available at Mediaite):

As the show opened, Jason Sudeikis (Romney) was seated at a bar with Adam Samberg playing the part of Rick Santorum.

The pair cordially discussed the race, with Samberg ordering a chocolate milk to drink and Sudeikis just a napkin.

Samberg thanked Sudeikis for being "the only candidate that can ever make me look exciting."

Sudeikis responded, "And you're the only candidate that can make me look gay-friendly."

This wouldn't be the only homosexual reference. For supposedly tolerant people, liberals sure do like gay jokes.

The duo then strangely entered into a version of Green Day's "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)," after which the barmaid appeared with their drink and napkin with Sudeikis saying, "I've placed your tip in this envelope. Make sure you give it to your husband when you get home - he'll know best what to do with it."

Nice swipe at Romney making him looking like a sexist, misogynist pig. Anything to help Obama's numbers with women, I guess.

Samberg shouted after the barmaid, "And don't spend it on birth control."

Could almost have been written by Obama's chief campaign adviser David Axelrod.

Story Continues Below Ad ↓

At that point, Bill Hader walked into the bar as Rick Perry who said of the campaign, "I might have won the darned thing if I didn't take a deuce every time I opened my mouth."

Nice. SNL presented the Texas governor talking about having a bowel movement when he speaks. Warms the cockles, doesn't it?

Hader next asked if they remembered the game show they were all on standing in front of podiums answering questions. Sudeikis replied, "Rick, that wasn't a game show. Those were debates."

"Debates?" asked Hader. "If you ask me, they were de-worst."

From there it was back to "Good Riddance" with Hader substituting in the chorus, "Really not that bright."

Anything to make a Republican look like an idiot.

Not that anyone could have been surprised by it, next Kristen Wiig walked in as Michele Bachmann. Sudeikis asked, "Hey, are you crashing boys night?"

Wiig disgustingly responded, "Oh, I've crashed a lot of boys nights - usually when I come home early and unannounced."

What is it with liberals and gay jokes?

Even some in the audience seemed uncomfortable with this as you could hear an audible grown from the crowd.

Wiig then bemoaned her fall in the campaign blaming it on Newsweek's "creepy cover photo of my face." The guys then asked her to replicate it, and she did to their cheers.

After a "Good Riddance" quartet, in walked Keenan Thompson as Herman Cain who said of the campaign, "This country just isn't ready for an African-American president- especially if he wears a cowboy hat, runs a pizza chain, and sexually harasses every woman he meets."

Wiig observed, "You never harassed me."

Thompson simply nodded his head saying, "Uh-huh." He continued, "In the beginning, I was all, 'I can fix this economy with 9-9-9,' and by the end I had 999 problems, and the bitch was all of them."

After the laughter died down, Sudeikis said, "I love it - it's a rapster reference."

This is how conservatives get treated by comedy shows in America today.

Into a quintet of "Good Riddance" with Thompson substituting in the chorus as he pointed at Romney, "But in the end he's white."

You see, supposedly tolerant liberals are allowed to make racial jokes as long as they're directed at conservatives.

Story Continues Below Ad ↓

Last but not least, in walked Bobby Moynihan as Newt Gingrich. The five at the bar hid their faces hoping he wouldn't see them.

After Samberg commented that Gingrich's campaign is completely out of money, the camera panned to Moynihan stuffing his suit pockets with bar nuts.

As the sketch mercifully wound down, Sudeikis admitted to his bar mates, "RomneyCare is just ObamaCare."

Once again - could have been written by Axelrod.

So it was back into one final quintet of "Good Riddance" with Hader this time completely bungling the lyrics.

And thus ended, for the second week in a row, SNL totally trashing conservatives, and in particular, the man that will likely be facing Obama in the upcoming election.

I'm sure all involved were very proud of themselves.

After all, their pathetic attacks on Sarah Palin four years ago helped cement a negative impression of the former Alaska governor that certainly helped Obama defeat McCain.

Now they all feel it's their job to do the same to Romney and anyone associated with him.

Makes you proud to be an American, doesn't it?

You'd think that left wing comedy writers would get tired of rehashing the same old "Republicans are dumb" jokes. Obama has been the golden goose that just keeps laying "stupid eggs", but these so called comedy shows never seem to be able to figure out how to write a joke or skit about Obama.

There is so much comedy gold to be mined from Baraka and they have to rehash every GOP candidate that is long gone?

The writers and cast at SNL are chicken shiite. Being an American means being able to mock our leaders, even up to the office of President without fear of reprisal and they are scared to make a joke about a joke that lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Hey, SNL. The brave Americans that have died to defend your 1st Amendment rights just said "Thanks for nothing."

President Obama is a Muslim (from his own lips), Kenyan (read it from his publicist) a homosexual (read it on a news magazine cover) and a Socialist (I'm alive and can see it for myself)

Reagan's having Alzheimer's Disease has been regularly used by comedians over the last twenty years or so. Yet Rush Limbaugh says one ill advised, dumb comment about Michael Fox and his Parkinson's, and he get's raked over the coals every chance the MSM gets. Same old double standards.

Egg-actly! Which is why I am completely frustrated by Fox commentators repeatedly making statements like "Obama's a smart guy, yada yada yada." Puhleze. Obama is NOT a smart guy. He quite possibly is the stupidest person ever to hold the office of POTUS. Many is the time I've thought he very well might be one of the dumbest people on the planet.

Leftist Humor

Submitted by HardRightTurn on Sun, 04/15/2012 - 11:21am.

SNL is when Leftist comedy crosses the line and becomes political, personal smear. It ain't any funnier than when Bill Maher does it. So, stop hidding behind your faux humor, Leftists, because no one's laughing but you.

To more fully comprehend the Left, one must read “Leftism As Psychopathy” by John Ray, M.A., Ph.D. Caution, it might scare you a little bit.

But according to surveys, a large number of people get a lot of their news and current events from the late night comics—Leno, Letterman, Daly, Colbert, etc. That's cause for concern.

"What is it with liberals and gay jokes?"

Submitted by Newsbubba on Sun, 04/15/2012 - 11:49am.

They can't make "gay jokes" about liberals (men and women) because so many ARE gay.  It just ain't funny if the butt of the joke is, ... well ..., a real butt boy.

Same reason they can't make slut jokes and other such sex slop about democrat women. They REALLY are sluts. If you are as big a pig as most of the liberal female persuasion is, about your last chance is to be a slut and date liberal losers like Special Ed and Bobby Boy Bechel, and beg them for some "relief."

There is just nothing funny about making a gay joke about someone like Prissy Chrissy, or that guy on MSNBC, Butch Maddow. It's totally true, and just won't come off as humorous.

Why start off a joke by saying "Barack Obama and his gay  "lover" were in the back seat of a limo snorting crack," when it's TRUE??

>>Saturday Night Live executive producer Lorne Michaels offered a guest spot to the Republican presidential candidate and he is "considering it," New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd reported.
A stop at the show could be a good way for the former Massachusetts governor to boost his likeability ratings, which have been dismal throughout his run in the Republican primaries.

If he were to exercise such poor judgement and appear on that show, he would lose whatever boost he got from the Hilary Rosen fiasco. The issues at stake are far too serious to make a mockery of. As a conservative who is reluctant to pull the lever for Mitt, I am watching him closely to see if I can bring myself to cast my vote his way. An appearance on SNL will NOT convince me to do so.

Conservative here too.

I too, am a conservative. I haven't made up my mind yet whether to vote for Obama or vote for Romney, or stay home and not vote, or vote for a third party candidate or write in. I haven't seen enough evidence over the last 3+ years where I should vote for a candidate who has the best potential to get Obama out of office. I'll give Barack another few months to see if he can meet my "conservative" qualifications.

They have been sniping at him in the hallways.

Notwithstanding newticle's praise of CNN they are a cabal of biased bigots who have no understanding at all of what the word 'journalism' is all about.
