LOL "What if 'SNL' mocked Michelle Obama?" - Pat Buchanan
"Can one imagine "Saturday Night Live" doing weekly send-ups of Michelle Obama and her "I've never been proud" of my country, this "just downright mean" America, using a black comedienne to mimic and mock her voice and accent?

"Saturday Night Live" would be facing hate-crime charges.

How do we know? When the New Yorker ran a cartoon of Michelle in an Angela-Davis afro with an AK-47 slung over her shoulder, New Yorker editors had to go on national television to swear they were not mocking Michelle, but the conservatives who have so caricatured Michelle and the Messiah.

Is there a media double standard? You betcha."


Um, just one small point Pat......Michelle isn't running for office.

1. It's not even that serious
It's a sketch show, they make fun of people because they are comedians. Pat is so irrational.

3. Also, Palin is a comedian's dream. Lots and lots of
actual material coming out of that woman's mouth. They don't have to mock her, just play it straight.

4. Michelle is not Angela Davis
Tina Fey used Sarah Palin's own words.

I am not surprised Pat fails to see the difference.

6. If Michelle Obama were a candidate for the presidency or vice presidency, they would have.
Why don't they mock Cindy McCain?

7. Exactly.
If she were running for office, she WOULD be mocked on SNL, as well she should. They do it to EVERYONE running for office.

8. Well, hey, Pat. To compare apples to apples, SNL *did* mock Joe Biden.

9. Michelle isn't. They DID make fun of Biden, and I actually thought it was hilarious.

11. Repeating what a person says is not mocking.

12. How true...
They haven't picked on McCain's wife or Biden's wife either.

Sarah is a candidate, and I think her coverage on SNL has been more favorable than Obama's....
