Murtha must retire

Is this the right clip?

For some reason, the link was bringing up the wrong video. It's fixed now...

I really love how the supporters behind "Biden" and "Murtha" look sicker and sicker the more they talk.

/That'll be me, if we have an Obama administration.

re: #2 winston06

Murtha must be retired

By William Russell who is running against him and leading him by double digits in one poll.

SNL's Opening Sketch [Mark Hemingway]
...may have just cost an embattled John Murtha his seat in congress. It should dominate the press tomorrow, and I expect it will be inescapable on the news in Murtha's district for the next week.

My guess is, SNL figures it's in the bag for The One, so the can afford to poke fun at others in his party. The O, though... well, they're still not worthy to touch the hem of His Garment.

SNL: “The Barack Obama Variety Half-Hour”

I’m leading with the first clip because it’s funnier (and because of the Ayers and Wright bit), but the second clip is the best Bill Russell campaign commercial you’ll ever see. A nationally televised seven-minute goof on Murtha as a demented crank a week before the election? Thanks, Lorne!

Sudeikis’s Biden impression is growing on me, too. The voice is wrong but the garrulous oafishness is so, so right.

Here is Murtha's opponent William Russell's website. He's a retired Army Lt. Col.

re: #13 loppyd

Oooo, that's good.

I feel so great.
Just turned an obamalama voter to a McCain voter.
Like most Americans, she was clueless as to who The Zero really is. She came down to visit and I showed her a bunch of videos I had saved. She had no idea who ayers was or even Joe. She couldn't believe what they were doing to destroy Joe and Sarah.
Won't make that much difference in KY, but a vote is a vote.
Wish we all had time to drag those obots in off the street and show them the FACTS!

The murtha stuff was hilarious.

If we're using Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals as analogies for the 0bama campaign, may I suggest Evita might be a better fit?

like most snl skits it goes on way too long so the funny is sucked right out of it

re: #19 phoenixgirl

Yeah - I laughed a couple times at the beginning and that was pretty much it.

I predict that if Obama wins, Biden is going to be the 'fall guy' on the late night shows and SNL, they won't pick on Barack too much for fear of being called racist, luckily Biden is easy to make fun of.

I watched Letterman on a fairly regular basis, and as far as I know he's never made an Obama joke, not surprising since he leans pretty left nowadays.

Leno has treaded pretty lightly with some Obama jokes.

Colonel Russell and his wife were at the Pentagon on 9-11-01.

I am sitting here in Starbucks, choking with laughter - Jesus! This is one of their best skits yet - I had to stop it before they call an ambulance for me! As an old Bible scholar of sorts, I found "Joe's" prophecies hilarious!

Just got this in an email:

McCain/Palin Poll Numbers Show Improvement in Michigan Prompting Bus Tour to Return to Michigan

* Rallies on Monday in Saginaw, Grand Blanc & Battle Creek

*Rally on Tuesday in Hillsdale
[MICHIGAN] -- A federally registered independent political action committee supporting the McCain/Palin presidential ticket is returning to the Great Lakes State as internal polling shows some improvement for the McCain campaign in Michigan.

"The Stop Obama Tour" traversed the Upper and Lower Peninsula of Michigan from October 23-25 and was in Ohio at the house of "Joe the Plumber" (Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher) when the positive polling news was received.

As a result, the Our Country Deserves Better Committee (website: [Link: www.OurCountryDeservesBetter.com...] ) has canceled planned events in Ohio and Pennsylvania to add Monday rallies in Saginaw, Grand Blanc & Battle Creek and a Tuesday morning rally in Hillsdale.
"We are so excited to see the reversal in the poll numbers for John McCain and Sarah Palin in Michigan," said Deborah Johns, a Marine Mom who is a spokesperson for the Our Country Deserves Better Committee.

"We're still a bit behind and we have a lot of work to do, but we are feeling very optimistic about the momentum that has started to build," Johns said.

The Our Country Deserves Better Committee will also continue running its television advertising campaign against Barack Obama and in support of the McCain/Palin ticket.

"Our message to the people of Michigan is that we won't give up the fight to have John McCain win this state, so long as you don't give up fighting either," Johns said.

This skit is forcing me to laugh -- I'll grant it that.

re: #2 winston06

I wonder if, when Murtha is handed his walking papers next month, he will make a stink about the "rednecks" in his district.

SNL is plagarizing C-SPAN.

No wonder they are rooting for Biden. He will write their material for them.

Am thinking that some Dems are not too happy with Biden and Murtha for making things difficult for the Zero.

This could actually be SNL's way of telling them to shut up.

Gas prices have gone down way faster than I can ever remember them going up. Down almost 2 dollars in a gallon in a month or six weeks here in Central Indiana.

The lone 'good news' to come out of the market trouble. I smile thinking how Venezuala and Iran are getting shafted :)

I'll give you even odds, because it's not his fault, but the fault of all of them "racist" constituents of his in western PA.

I was wondering if any SML viewers would get the joke to begin with since biden's comments received so little press and how many know about murtha's?

ot I early voted in Dallas on Sat. and from the turnout,I think there will be record numbers of voters,including the dead, this election.

I thought it was pretty funny too.

Awesome! I'll email them a thank you now.

Fox is reporting that we called a strike inside Syria.

I guess I should laugh but I didn't. It would be like laughing at a melanoma or something.

I stopped watching this after the crowd cheered when Biden yelled the 0bama "president of the United States". Can't stand it.

Thank God! I think Michigan is ripe for the pickin'.

The Michigan recession can be at least partially blamed on the high gas prices since the Dems took over in 2006. By extension, the Dems own Michigan's recession.

Hey, Michigan Folks--you've had state and local governments run by Democrats for several years. How's that workin' out for you?

They said something about puppies and kittens and grandmas, but nothing about a wedding, so far. Seriously, though, they said something about a family of terrorists being the target.

re: #52 willowone

I was thinking the other day about the PUMAs and how it's so apropos that it would be John McCain's campaign and election that would actually bring republicans and democrats together in a bi-partisan way to achieve a goal for America. I hope that he's happy to see republicans and democrats reaching across to work together towards a common goal. It's very fitting.

BY THE TRIDENT OF NEPTUNE!

And a big surprise since the public opinion polls generally show McCain to be 12-16 points behind!

re: #33 Globular Cluster

He showed Biden borrowing a riff from Kerry.

"When the crisis comes, wre: #39 Globular Cluster

"TRUST US. WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING!"

More like,

"We're right! You peasants are just too stupid to understand our subtle and nuanced reasoning!"

Biden (even in a parody) reminds me of why I voted for Bush over Kerry four years ago.

Anyone whose argument is, "I'm so much smarter than you are that you have no hope of comprehending how brilliant my plan is" is, IMHO, automatically too big an idiot to be in a position of responsibility.

Never mind that that logic has driven the Dems since 1952 at the latest.

/1932 if you count the National Recovery Act

cheers

That was funny. I liked Murtha calling everyone redneck that saying he was misquoted.

re: #63 Sharmuta

At what point does this skit get funny? They could have cut five minutes and still had the same effect.

re: #61 loppyd

It's a great city, and all their votes are canceled by the rest of Texas.

If Syria is upset about strikes inside their country, maybe they could as Lebanon how best to cope with it.

I live in a western suburb of Detroit, MI , in a somewhat heavily Democratic area. I tell you what, almost everyone I know, is voting for McCain. Very few for the One.

Okay. That bit was actually kinda funny.

Pretty good.

The Obama campaign has been providing pure comedy gold all year. The lib comedians are nothing if not disciplined, to be able to resist all the red meat free for the skewering.

Very funny, but sorry, this bitter American clinging to my guns and religion is not going to get too excited after weeks of seeing SNL destoying Palin & McCain...

Hey, Michigan Folks--you've had state and local governments run by Democrats for several years. How's that workin' out for you?

There are cities in Eastern Europe that were better off under Soviet rule than Detroit is now.

Most of the problems facing the auto industry are self-inflicted. GM merging with Chrysler is kinda like Hannibal Lecter and Typhoid Mary pooling their cash to open a restaurant called "Soylent Green."

Hmm, I didn't find the clip to the SNL episode.

Instead, all I saw was a clip from C-Span showing Joe Biden and John Murtha speaking what was actually said.

:-P

Gird Your Loins!

I'm with you. This was standard SNL: really lame.

They've been coasting on their reputation for decades. The show should've been put out of its misery long ago.

It's the rounding up of French-Canadians and the trident of Neptune that scare me.
Well, I'm off to gird my loins...or something.

Not very funny. "Biden" and "Murtha" had more of a "deer in the headlights" look to them rather than arrogant lunacy. Bet they phoned O's campaign after getting done and pleaded for mercy.

re: #90 Joan Not of Arc

It's the rounding up of French-Canadians and the trident of Neptune that scare me.

Well that was the only thing I agree with- rounding up the F-Canadians! And their sign police too! Heh /

Unfortunately, most people watching the Biden bit won't have any clue what it is really about. Most don't know that Biden said that Obama would specifically and intentionally be tested in the first 6 months because he is so inexperienced because the media have completely ignored it. Most will simply see it as a skit goofing on Biden being goofy.

So, instead of Biden's outrageous comment dominating the last two weeks as it should have, it's just goes down the memory hole. Biden should have been making the rounds on every morning show today- being forced to specifically name the scenarios Biden spoke of when guaranteeing Obama would be tested. Instead, the media is blanket covering Palin's wardrobe bill and Biden is sleeping in this Sunday. God I hate these people.

The only thing that would be better than this would be if Biden & Murtha had the balls to show up on SNL next week like Palin did. Now that would be really funny! SNL could really have some fun with those two nut jobs!(that is nut-less nut jobs) Of course the Obama machine would never let that happenm and SNL would go too easy on them.
