. . .in a sense she threw them a softball. Anytime a comedy show is taken seriously enough to be brought up in a presidential debate I would expect that same comedy show to have fun with that. Can you imagine if someone brought up the DAILY SHOW in a debate? Stewart would have a field day. I look forward to this week's SNL.

3. The Tina Fey skit was interesting. . .
. . .I thought it was a moment of great defiance on behalf of Hillary and the fact folks call her a bitch. I bet I'm not the only male Obama supporter who watched that skit and thought "you go Tina!" I have no tolerance for the bitch meme being used against Hillary and I fully embrace Fey's comments. HOWEVER, it should be noted that Fey is an actress/comedian/writer who may have been entertaining more than stating political opinion. Only Tina knows.

5. Don't forget the "bitch" comment was right after she mocked fat and old women.
Why people view that sketch as feminist or empowering in any way is beyond me.

7. I think comedy crosses the line sometimes, however
humor does not follow rules of appropriateness. If SNL had humor censorship, they would be out of business.

2. You're assuming that SNL is still considered a "comedy show".
I'm sure they'll attempt to mock Hillary, and it'll be the first time that SNL references itself in a sketch. Holy infinity batman!

6. Tina Fey had a Hillary skit to do and was probably prompted to do it, this week we'll see a SNL
a real SNL version of the debate.
