Outrageous? Or Courageous?

Talk about getting your mojo back. Despite his rumored marital woes with the other Jennifer, Ben Affleck gave a standout performance goofing on MSNBC's Keith Olbermann this past Saturday on SNL. If that show would stick to politically based skits it might get its own mojo back as well.

Check it out:

The Hot Lady & the Tiger Woods Guy

Will Ferrell almost makes me think I might miss Bush when he leaves office . . . nope, I was wrong.

Saturday Night Palin

Apparently Governor Sarah Palin does at least have a sense of humor. Although the two sketches she appeared in on Saturday's episode of SNL, where brief and didn't require her to do much more than be herself, (something most of the country, admittedly, hasn't seen much of) she at least did that with some grace. So I will give her some credit for that.

And then I heard about an interview that Palin gave to a CBN reporter. In guess you don't know, the CBN is the Christian Broadcasting Network. Yep, that's right folks, Palin won't do a press conference and has only done two interviews with any of the Big Three networks, but she has time for CBN. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. So that credit I extended to Palin in the previous paragraph—gotta take that back. Sorry Sarah.

The Debate: SNL-style

Wow two posts on a Sunday!!! Gentle readers, if you need to sit down and take a deep breath, I understand, this is after all, unprecedented in the history of Broad minded.

But Queen Latifah's turn as Gwen Ifill moderating the VP debate on last night's Saturday Night Live, was too good to pass up. So let's get mavericky!

The Bitch is Back

As mentioned in a previous post (Rainy Days and Fridays), I might have a wee bit of a girl crush on Tina Fey.

In honor of her greatness, SNL choose her to kick off their first show back since the writer's strike. Admittedly it has been many moons since I even attempted to stay awake to watch SNL (Is Darrell Hammond really still on the show??!??!?!), but thanks to the wonders of the DVR I was able to enjoy the episode when I should have been paying my respects to the Lord. Oh well, I am already going to hell, my adoration of Tina Fey will not change that.

Her best contribution of the night was to the Weekend Update which she helped revive after wallowing in a pit of Dennis Miller-less despair. (Speaking of which, WTF happened to Miller? He cut the magic locks and suddenly turned into some Fox News flunky?)

View for yourself here. (Since I can't seem to figure out how to attach a video in the blog post. Anybody have tips  . . .?) Or if you prefer to communicate via the written word, I have the transcript below:

Tina Fey: Maybe what bothers me the most is that people say that Hillary is a bitch. Let me say something about that: Yeah, she is. So am I and so is this one. [Points to Amy Poehler]

Amy Poehler: Yeah, deal with it.

Tina Fey: You know what, bitches get stuff done. That's why Catholic schools use nuns as teachers and not priests. Those nuns are mean old clams and they sleep on cots and they're allowed to hit you. And at the end of the school year you hated those bitches but you knew the capital of Vermont. So, I'm saying it's not too late Texas and Ohio, bitch is the new black!
