“Quite frankly, it’s a big mistake to let her go on,” he tells Access Hollywood. “What was brilliant about Lorne (Michaels) was that he had nothing written for Sarah and that apparently she cannot improvise herself out of a paper bag!”
The 68-year-old comedian also blamed John McCain’s political campaign. “The management behind McCain’s campaign has been dumb. This has only helped accentuate the problem of his judgment in choosing … a candidate like Sarah Palin for vice president. I think the last thing that they would want right about now is to have the rest of America knowing all that … to have her be seen on SNL. … If anything, you just want her to be seen just from a distance.”

Its true. Does it really matter if she’s funny? Shes supposed to be running the country! And I think by showing up on comedy shows, it just makes them into a joke. Politics and a a comedy show have no right being together.
I agree.
)
But she gave SNL highest ratings in like damn near decades from what I have been reading.
But, she isnt going to be running the country - she isnt running against the Social Master……
(wonders why people think she is running for president
Also; why am I still hearing NOTHING about any of the third-party candidates? Oh, I forgot… the media’s been bought and paid for, along with the Congress, who allow the media to choose the candidates with their selective use of the “Fairness Doctrine†to blatantly discriminate against anyone outside of the two main parties, the ultimate hijacking of the office of POTUS and one of the greatest subversions of democratic process in the history of this nation.
What Chevy and lots of other TV and Movie people don’t realize is that their opinions only matter to people that already agree with them. SNL is irrelevant to the vast majority of undecided moderates. I stopped watching SNL years ago because it just wasn’t funny anymore.
She is just a straight up moron who didn’t even realize that she was being made fun of. Thank goodness that the country has made the right decision in choosing President Obama!!!
Chevy Chase is a washed up, celebripion and an idiot. All the movies he made are crap.
Post number 6
You must be on welfare then honey. Because only the welfare people want him in.
He is being seen for what he is, why cant you see it?
That baffles me.
Then, his running mate, How stupid is Joe Biden? At least Sarah Palin never made a campaign commercial for her opponent…He did.
So you’re sitting out there thinking, ‘Obama’s only going to go after the super rich’, but you can see right in front of your very eyes that they’re going to go after the achievers. And if you say nothing until they eventually get to you, there’s not going to be anybody else left to defend you….No one.
Look what happened here: it took a plumber to flush out Obama’s true economic philosophy, to illustrate to America that Obama’s ideas do not hold water. And more than that, it took a plumber to open the dam of resentment that has been under the surface for decades toward the media.
Look: a socialist is a socialist. You’re either a socialist or you’re not. And Obama is.
Some of Senator Obama’s most fervent supporters could not tell you what he has actually done on such issues as crime, education, or financial institutions like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, much less what he plans to do to stop Iran from becoming a nuclear nation supplying nuclear weapons to the international terrorist networks that it has supplied with other weapons!
The magic word “change” makes specifics unnecessary. If things are going bad, some think that what is needed is blank-check “change.”
.
But history shows any number of countries in crises worse than ours, where “change” turned problems into catastrophes.
.
That “change” brought on a totalitarian regime that made the czars’ (Russia) despotism look like child’s play. The Communists killed more people in one year than the czars killed in more than 90 years, not counting the millions who died in a government-created famine in the 1930s.
Other despotic regimes in China, Cuba, and Iran were similarly replaced by people who promised “change” that turned out to be even worse than what went before.
But I am sure you are aware of this.
Just one more thing;
Remember when Barack Obama used his campaign lawyers to petition the Department of Justice to shut down the American Issues Project when it created an ad about William Ayers?
Obama’s complaint didn’t go anywhere, but he’s at it again. This time Obama’s trying to use his influence as a presidential candidate and U.S. Senator to convince the DOJ to shut down those who are criticizing ACORN.
.
Its just so funny and scary how this Socialist is buying his way into the White House. I highly even doubt that this “man” went to Harvard, as he and his buddies had these so called college transcripts; Frozen.
He is a liar, point blank
Just the fact that the Obama group would write a letter to the DOJ speaks for itself. Obama wants to shut everyone up who does not agree with him, or that might get the people thinking..such as Joe the plumber.
He smirks when you catch him in a lie, and writes letters to quiet those who dare to question his behavior. I question your judgement. Is this what you want in a President?
It is to have a man of integrity running to be the President of the United States. What a confirmation of the confidence he asks the people of this great Republic to put in him. Mr. Obama is a shining example of true leadership. The respect this great Senator from the state of Illinois deserves is evident in his actions.
Uh…right.
This man and his surrogates are so brazen in their affront to the constitution and the American way of life. What is absolutely frightening is their surrogates on the courts, the media, and the education system…the very systems that should be screaming the loudest against Mr. Obama - are deafening silent and equally guilty.
Obama is showing us by his history of very dubious alliances, his stated policy positions, and his reaction to opposition how he will govern.
How refreshing it must be for the enemies of America to see the destruction of the greatest country in the history of this planet - all without firing a single shot.
I disagree with McCain/Palin on pretty much everything, but I do have to say that she is a very pretty woman. Seriously, she’s really a gorgeous woman physically pretty much from toe to head. She’s got a beautiful smile, and she and First Dude make a very nice looking couple, and seem to be genuinely a team.
Politics aside – when did Chevy Chase become a bitter old woman?
I know who Sarah Palin is. But who’s Chevy Chase?

repugs are so desperate that only creating fear on their own base of a “antiamerican/terrorist/muslim” is the best shot they have.
Only their base buy this mind goo they call strategy!
But of course! it is a fact that only those states with rural economies and low educational rates are Republicans, and all big urban centers with highly educated populations are liberal….MMMM how telling!

Keep the bitching ever changing names repug! What a wonderful day to pay homage to the failed policies by not working but only contaminating this site by posting the same gooooooooo multiple times per posting. Maybe repeating you paranoid mantras you can pass them as reality…. Pathetic.
I watch her just to see another dumb-ass thing come out of the her mouth… in fact, as much as a can’t stand W’s accent, I sure will miss it compared to Palin’s accent… she sounds like back woods white trash, which in a way, is what she is.
It wasnt a performance at all. How many lines did she have? Maybe three? They could have just had a cardboard cutout, probably would have been funnier actually.
Done with this devil of a person, anti gay, anti choice, anti environment, anti stem-cell, her 15 minutes of fame are up in 15 days
Watch what happens. After the election, she packs in Wasilla, dumps Todd, gathers her kids and looks to move to Soho. Levi will then be free.
Um, Life on Mars………..yea. Yes, only people on welfare want Obama in. If you haven’t noticed these last 8 horrendous years, the Republicans have done everything to help business, business, business. The middle class is getting smaller and smaller.
You think your health care premiums, coverage is bad now, McCain would make it even worse. Having an angry, out of touch, see no problem with starting another war President is not going to be helpful in this world. Quite literally, we cannot continue on like this putting money into wars while taking money away from education, healthcare, quality of life. The current Republicans’ priorities are so wrong and most of America knows this thankfully thanks to your wonder boy Bush.
But please return to your bubble that Democrats will raise your taxes, kill unborn babies as soon as they get into office, and give all our money to ungrateful poor people who would rather sit on their couch then get a job.
Thankfully for us and the world, Obama will be our next President.
Chase was moronic on snl. He has never been funny and never will be. Duck you welfare baby killers. None of what you know ads too much.
17…”But of course! it is a fact that only those states with rural economies and low educational rates are Republicans, and all big urban centers with highly educated populations are liberal….MMMM how telling!”
Why all the bigoted stereotypes “republicansout”? If you weren’t so ignorant you would realize that within each state, red and blue, there are conservatives and liberals. Among these, it’s productive, responsible republicans that pay a higher percentage of taxes and unproductive, irresponsible democrats that consume a higher percentage of taxes. These are the facts. But something tells me that you’ll just ignore them and choose instead to hold on to your ignorance. And rather than reply with an intelligent answer, you’ll probably just call me a name. That’s what people without valid arguments do.
20….Sarah Palin is a “devil of a person”? Really? Intelligent people can disagree on political philosophies and what policies actually work, but not you. What has she ever done in her life to warrant calling her a devil?
“Among these, it’s productive, responsible republicans that pay a higher percentage of taxes and unproductive, irresponsible democrats that consume a higher percentage of taxes. These are the facts”
Uh-huh. Give us the source of your facts for this statement anonymous. My mother-in-law lives in a small town in Wisconsin. Most of the population never went past high school. Most of the population have barely made it out of state. None of them make close to $250,000 a year, yet all you hear them say is the cliche they have been fed their entire lives “Dems will raise our taxes”. These are the same people who have horrible health insurance, pay ungodly amounts each month for their sh*tty insurance, and avoid going to the doctor so don’t have to pay. Yet, their simpleton brains will continue to tell them to vote against all their interests everytime by voting Republican.
Unbelievable.
The devil supports baby-killing so you’re the devil not Sarah! Obama and his ugly wife are friends and supporters of Arab Mulsim terrorists but of course the media will never let you know about it. If Obama is elected we’ll have a terrorist sympathizer in the White House and America is doomed!
Hairball, find it humorous that you actually question this fact. One source is a meticulously sourced, nonpartisan book by Joseph Fried titled
Democrats and Republicans: Rhetoric and Reality
“The average Republican pays far more taxes than does the average Democrat—in absolute dollars and as a percentage of income. This is generally true for all types of taxes and at all government levels (federal, state, and local)”
The real question is, will you “hairball”, actually revise your thinking according to the facts, or will you just conveniently ignore the facts and remain willfully ignorant? The difference is that between a mature adult interested in the truth and a delusional partisan hack. Which will you choose to be?
Actually, my thinking is not revised. I think extremely likely in your ONE source you quoted, that a minority of extremely wealthy Republicans help to say Republicans pay more in taxes. Well, yes, when you have a small group making obscene amounts of money, that will help to say Republicans pay more in taxes.
I think what you are going to find out soon is that most of America has left you behind in your thinking that Democrats take everyone’s money and enable these sacks of sh*t to not work and collect welfare. The Republicans lost their way a long time ago by kissing the Religious Right’s *ssholes before elections and doing nothing to help the normal man, but have no problem bailing out business. It’s ok for lenders and Wall Street with their personal lawyers to explain everything to f*ck things up royally. They can be bailed out. But normal home owners? Screw them. They are just living beyong their means, lazy, stupid *sses who probably want welfare. If you’re going to help one side, you need to help the other side. No help with foreclosures in latest bailout.
Republicans are the self-proclaimed moral party. Most of what they do is hypocritcal, vicious, and I would think very much against what God would want. But hey, what do I know? I guess forcing women to grow humans in them and stopping two harmless people from getting married makes you ‘moral’.
The Republicans have done nothing to help regular Americans. In any way. Instead of educating citizens, helping with healthcare, spending money on the U.S. we have drained our money for wars, one completely unnecessary war, sold our *sses to places like China in borrowing large sums of money for our war and cut priorities that civilized countries need to be civilized and stay on top.
What I find completely amazing, is we are spending TRILLIONS on war, pouring billions for bail-outs, several states are likely going to be asking for bailouts of their own, yet no taxes need to be raised. This is fiscal conservatism? Ok.
You just go a head and vote for McCain because he won’t ‘raise your taxes’ and prepare yourself for even worse health care costs, beating the war drum for Iran or whoever else is an axis of evil this month, money poured into military while our country crumbles.
Obama will win–thank God.
Hairball, I see you’ve chosen to ignore the facts and remain a delusional partisan hack. I’m not surprised.
Just as you won’t be suprised when Obama blows McCain and Embarrassment Palin away Nov 4th. I’m glad, because surprises aren’t good for your blood pressure. You’ll want to keep your health to avoid paying anymore then you do already for your healthcare. I’m actually trying to be nice when I say I genuinely feel sorry for you when you continue to vote against your own interests for fear of taxes being raised and the U.S. becoming socialist. Thankfully, this time, the smart people voting, will bail you out. You’re welcome.
Hairball, that’s the difference between you and me. I don’t just vote for my own selfish interests. I don’t vote for the candidate willing to take the earnings of someone else and give them to me in exchange for my political loyalty. I vote for the candidate whose policies are best for the country–in particular the responsible, productive members of society who actually make positive contributions. I vote based on the principles of individual liberty this country was founded on. John F. Kennedy put it best when he said, “ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country”. It’s not about which candidate is promising the most freebies paid for by someone else. When Obama dishonestly claims that he will give 95% of working households a tax break he is not only lying, he is tapping into the greed of the 40% of people that don’t even pay any income tax to begin with, but under Obama, will get a check anyway. Sadly, intellectually bankrupt kool-aid drinkers like you believe him. Believe me, I won’t be surprised if Obama wins the election. Sadly, there are many others like you with absolutely no understanding of history, economics or any of the principles this country was founded on. And given your aversion to facts and casual dismissal of truth, I’m not surprised you would choose to vote for a candidate so diametrically opposed to American and Constitutional principles (you poor thing, you probably don’t even know what those are). In closing, there’s no need to feel sorry for me Hairball. Believe me when I tell you that I live a much better life than you in every way. I’d bet my 401K that I’m better looking, more successful, more intelligent and get laid far more than you. You strike me as a particularly miserable, intellectually inferior, physically unattractive, friendless little troll. And no, your fellow crackpot bloggers like “Globalone”, and “republicansout” don’t count as real friends.
“I’d bet my 401K that I’m better looking, more successful, more intelligent and get laid far more than you. You strike me as a particularly miserable, intellectually inferior, physically unattractive, friendless little troll.”
Usually when people have to resort to juvenile comments that have nothing to do with the issues at hand (you’ve been taking notes from the McCain campaign I see), you’re insecure and buttons were pushed.
“Sadly, there are many others like you with absolutely no understanding of history, economics or any of the principles this country was founded on.” Let me get this straight….you voted for wonder boy Bush twice and yet you profess to understanding history, economics, and the principles of the country?
“a candidate so diametrically opposed to American and Constitutional principles” Again, you are for a President adhering to American and Constitutional principles and yet you voted for Dubya twice.
You’ll thank us in due time for saving the country. Enjoy watching Obama, because you’ll be seeing him the next 8 years.
33….”Usually when people have to resort to juvenile comments that have nothing to do with the issues at hand (you’ve been taking notes from the McCain campaign I see), you’re insecure and buttons were pushed..” Then clearly 99% of the Obama supporters on this blog, including yourself, are extremely insecure as evidenced by the countless hateful insults directed toward Palin and those who don’t toe the socialist line. I appreciate your compliance in helping me make that point. You walked right into it. It seems that personal digs (however true) are the only way to capture your attention. As you’ve already demonstrated quite clearly, you have absolutely no use for facts and conveniently gloss right over them when they contradict your uninformed view of the world. Predictably, you’ve completely ignored the entire thrust of my argument and the facts therein. If you possessed any understanding of history and economics you would know that applying punitive taxation on business and the “rich” does not result in increased tax revenue, but rather increased costs for all of us. You would also understand that the United States was founded on the principles of individual liberty and personal freedoms, not European socialist philosophy. I’ll leave you with a quote from a great Republican, Abraham Lincoln. “Property is the fruit of labor…property is desirable…is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another; but let him labor diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built.”
people just want a handout. even from the folks who want to keep you perpetually POOR, who punish you via high taxes when you’re succesful. they did this in Cuba. the line of “wealthy” became increasingly lower until nobody had anything, but hey! everyone’s equal (except those in goverment of course, they’re not partaking). this is what pelosi and reid and castrobama want for our lovely land to whom many flock for personal freedom and a dream.
my parents did not flee Cuba after Castro took all their many many assets so i could 48 years later vote for the land of the free to become another communist regime. things are not fine and dandy in Europe and i refuse to vote toward that kind of life and supression of rights.
Ok, well, first, I’ve stopped laughing at your post because I think it’s pretty ridiculous, in particular, the very first part.
Second, obviously you are voting for McCain/Embarrassment Palin and I’m not going to waste anymore of my life on this with you.
Third, I think your Republicans and Wonder Boy have demonstrated first hand these last 8 years how a totally free market (that includes our private armies in Iraq with no accountability, refer to Blackwater) with inefficient government intervention and propping up business only has done wonders for the U.S.
I would literally shudder, as do most of America, at the thought of another Republican President with such failed policies and priorities.
After 8 years, I’m exhausted, literally, of people like you. I wish I could change your minds so no more damage is done to this country. But thankfully, I won’t have to worry as your vote does not make a difference. Good luck in your life.
Hairball, you’ve once again betrayed your complete ignorance of even the most basic facts when you suggest that “I think your Republicans and Wonder Boy have demonstrated first hand these last 8 years how a totally free market with inefficient government intervention and propping up business only has done wonders for the U.S.”
Find me one real economist that believes we’ve had a “totally free market” as you put it within the last 8 years. You can’t, because that is patently false. A lie. Clearly you have no idea what you’re talking about. Secondly, you conveniently ignore the fact that Bush and Republicans have been trying to regulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for years now, only to meet vehement resistance from democrats. In fact, the Bush Administration tried to regulate Fannie Mae on 17 different occasions only to be rebuffed by democrats.
But don’t let FACTS compete with your stubborn ignorance, Hairball. By the way, notice how I substantiate my position with facts, while you just spout falsehoods and debunked talking points backed up by absolutely nothing?
Here’s some more FACT for you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MGT_cSi7Rs&feature=related
Hairball, I don’t expect you to have enough integrity to be honest with me. Just be honest with yourself and be open-minded enough to accept new facts and challenges to your ossified way of thinking. You’ll be a better person for it. And thanks for your comment about my vote not making a difference. Just what I’d expect from someone of your ilk.
you dont have the rite to make fun of her because i didnt see you up as one of our running vice presidents. Is the only thing you know how to do is try to pull them down to your size i dont think its possible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
