Just reported on MSNBC-- no link

[HughMoran]

1. Darn, it would have been fun

Glad he did the noble thing though.

[ErinBerin84]

2. awww. Probably the right decision, but I hope he can do it next week or something.

[mucifer]

3. might be better for him to do it closer to the election anyway.

[MoJoWorkin]

4. He can still do it later. Good decision, I think.

[Patsy Stone]

5. Right thing to do.

Sad it had to be done.

[Cosmic Charlie]

6. we're still guaranteed a sweet Palin sketch

the SNL writers have likely been chomping at the bit to get at her.

[1corona4u]

8. Oh yeah, I can't wait....

:-)

[beac]

27. Probably why he canceled.

He can't be there while they are giving Sister Sarah he well-deserved comedic beat-down. The 'NO FAIR' police would be ALL OVER him.

[Undercurrent]

7. I think this is the wise move.

Boy, they are working David Shuster to death today! Guess he got the short straw.

[ErinBerin84]

14. ha

Shuster's accent when he pronounces "again" cracks me up...he says it about every other sentence too.

[meow2u3]

9. Probably because of Ike

I wouldn't put it past Obama to try to go down to Texas to help Ike victims. :patriot:

[1corona4u]

12. No probably about it, that's the reason.

[Arkana]

10. Damn. Still, I think it was a good call.

Damn hurricane season.

Good luck, Texans--us Yankee bastards up in the NE are pullin' for ya.

[jeffrey_X]

11. Good. fuck the entertainment bullshit and let's get down to business

eom

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

13. Good judgment, but I was kinda looking forward to it.

[vanderBeth]

15. I think this is good. I approve.

[eshfemme]

16. Awwww.... I can understand why though

But nuts... I wanted to see more of Barack. Hey, maybe he can make it up to SNL by going on there together with Joe!

But yeah, I agree that it would be bad to appear when SNL might potentially make fun of Palin (he's still trying to kill the lipstick nonsense) and the possible Ike damage.

[bluestateguy]

17. I agree

I didn't see where the SNL gig was going to help anyway.

[WA98296]

18. Smart call, and there will be another day on SNL I'll bet.

[nsd]

19. Good call. (nt)

[Shine]

20. Disappointing, but appropriate.

He can always do it some other time.

[ej510]

21. On Sirius left they he had the stomach flu.

[oldsneakers]

22. Excellent decision

Appearing would have left him open to more lies by Repukes

[book_worm]

23. Good, he shouldn't be on SNL while Galveston and other places are being hit

[democrat2thecore]

24. Good decision - nt

[quakerboy]

25. Drat. I mean, the quality has been going downhill for years, but

SNL is a kind of cultural icon. They will be missed.

[FlyingSquirrel]

26. I didn't think he really needed to, but better safe than sorry I guess.

Good luck to all in the path of Ike.

[Canuckistanian]

28. Just as well. He'll have more material to work with later

Trust me, Geezer and Gidget are going to be an ENDLESS source of hilarity.
