I have only seen the one with him as the stalker/husband. You would think they would be all over the place out there. Is NBC holding them back? Obama could really have some fun using them in campaign ads. I would love to show some to McCain supporters who are not even aware he hosted SNL. I liked McCain back then and actually though he was hilarious on SNL, but now is the best time to dust them off and show them off. Anyone know why we are not seeing them? WHo is paying Loren Michaels Off?

1. I found a clip of McCain singing Streisand on SNL
but it's edited into in a parody video to make it appear as if he were a contestant on American Idol instead of SNL

3. I have heard
that NBC/GE WILL NOT allow them to be released til after the election. Not sure if this is true, but I have heard it several times. Guess they don't want him to look foolish and think this is not very presidential. Still, wouldn't it be great for Obama to retaliate against the Paris and Britney ad with one of the SNL skits? If this is true, its just another example of the corporate media at work. Does anyone here know Lorne Michaels?????

2. The new season hasn't started yet
It doesn't start until September 13th, they haven't had the opportunity to do any parodies since the campaign really got rolling.

4. John
McCain had the nomination pretty much before the end of last season so they could have shown some then. Still, I hope you are right. WOW. They usually don;t start til October? September 13th is early.
