I guess I meant it would be funny regardless of the political stances of the two celebrities.

But yeah, some folks will think it targets their group. Oh, well.

I thought it was political and very disrespectful to the former president. Imagine if Elizabeth did it to Obama? There would be outrage.

Isn't it great that we live in a country where we can have different opinions about what is funny and not have to kill each other. Or, even dislike each other.

See, what I meant was, I would have laughed at that also. Or Whoopi groping/being groped by either Bush or Obama.

I thought it was equal opportunity silly.

But I understand that you don't.

I have to agree. The first part was quite funny. The ending disclaimer crossed the line.

This is very interesting as skoop and I are usually the ones who find things not so funny (offensive or mean) that others think are funny.

I still think it was funny.

Another day, another episode that further demeans the office of President of the United States.

What's not funny about that?

I also think SNL is funny when they do Presidential skits - no matter who the President is.

The skit was funny until the very last cheap shot.

It was mean and unnecessary for the larger joke.

However, I'd much rather have someone compared to and/or view Elizabeth's posterior than Bahar's (sp?).
