Harsh Times

SNL’ Palin-Incest Joke
by FOXNews.com Monday, September 22, 2008

In Saturday Night Live’s second attempt to mock this year’s vice presidential race, a sketch lampooning The New York Times as out of touch has instead touched off a firestorm by casually throwing out a much more insidious inference — incest — between Todd Palin and his pregnant, teenage daughter, Bristol.

It seems like there is no limit to what liberal comedians (and conservative in some cases -don't know if Kramer (Seinfeld) is or not) will say. Obviously NBC/MSNBC is a liberal outlet (perhaps on the same basis that Fox is conservative), but it seems as though as SNL was writing this skit, ideas just got out of hand. One thing led to another and they decided to be crude and vulgar which lead to tasteless.

Honestly, the first skit on Palin was slightly amusing at certain parts. However, it's the whole liberal mentality that sometimes puts liberals, themselves, on a make-believe pedestal. The liberals I come across on a daily basis always have this superiority complex about them. This was the same complex I felt come across the screen (actually, on Youtube because I didn't watch it when it aired). It's incredibly annoying. I don't like people who think they're better than another group of people based on race. The same is true for political party.

 Comedians and actors alike should stick to what they do best; making people laugh and entertaining. Whenever they get into the political arena, they ruin a big part of their audience. A room full of a group of people who like the same guy or girl in entertainment are most definitely split on world/nation views. People don't tune in to a comedy skit show to be swayed on who to vote for (much like students in a liberal teacher's classroom (I go to CUDenver)). They tune in because they want a release of all the stupid political ads.
