The SNL Gambit
Well, now we know why Hillary Clinton didn't show up for a flight to Ohio with her campaign. She was on her way to New York to perform the next step in her uber-tippity-top secret Saturday Night Live strategy. She appeared on the show last night.
LANCASTER, Ohio —Hillary Rodham Clinton dropped off the campaign trail Saturday to make a guest appearance on “Saturday Night Live,” reveling in a skit that lampooned the news media as biased toward Barack Obama and poking a little fun her 11 straight losses to Mr. Obama.
Probably her best line came when Amy Poehler, who portrays her on “SNL,” asked her how things were going.
“Oh, the campaign is going very, very well,” Mrs. Clinton said in a syrupy tone. Then, with mock suspicion, she continued: “Why, what have you heard?”
Oh for the good old days of the Bass-o-matic.

I have to say, though, Hillary was funny and the most human I have ever seen her. If she could produce that kind of persona on a regular basis, she would be doing better than she is. My girlfriend, a confirmed Hillary basher, thought so, too. I hope she pulls out TX and OH, just to keep the dems split for a while longer. JPG
