Christine O'Donnell's witchcraft confession was aired by Bill Maher on HBO's "Real Time" a week ago Friday. Given that Saturday Night Live is in its season, Christine O'Donnell is going to give them plenty of material until the mid-term elections early in November. The SNL skit below was offensive to some, as it touched on Christine O'Donnell's personal views on sensitive subjects. At the end, she dons a witch outfit and flies away on a broom.
Of course, we are used to SNL poking fun at political icons and popular situations in the news. Who could forget the Tiger Woods parodies? However, some say it's rather inappropriate to poke fun of a politician at such a personal level.
On the other hand, Christine O'Donnell is the joke of the Tea Party and the GOP. Her primary win has showed a riff in the Republican party. Karl Rove has spoken out against her while many others defended her.
So what are your views on the Christine O'Donnell SNL skit...was it too much?
the political skits were the only part of SNL I liked. But while I'm not a big O'Donnell fan that went too far. So now I have no reason to ever watch the show again...
ReplyDeleteSNL is yesterday's news. They were so intent on smearing O'Donnell, they forgot the comedy angle. Watch their dripping rating, but don't watch the show.
