SNL hit on McCain - idea by Senatorial candidate Al Franken
Monday, September 22nd, 2008Here’s the skit crafted by Democrat Al Franken for SNL.
Franken, who hasn’t been a staff writer on the show for 13 years, “phoned in” a spoof of McCain recording campaign ads in an edit booth, said an NBC source. Seth Meyers, the show’s current head writer, wrote it, but the sketch was hatched by Franken, a longtime liberal satirist and comedian.
An SNL insider said that, as of the Wednesday script read-through, Franken was the “credited writer with Meyers” on the opening sketch. Show veteran Darrell Hammond is to play McCain.
You can tell Al Franken had something to do with the skit, because it’s not that funny. I guess this is what we expect from the mainstream media. Does anyone believe that if a Republican candidate phone in an idea for a skit to skewer Obama that Saturday Night Live would run with it? Right.
