SNL japes on Joe Wilson, but Carville is better

by Smitty (h/t LiberalLand)

The take on the setup for Joe Wilson's two-word rebuttal speech, while apocryphal, is fairly well played. Kristen Wiig takes a cheap shot at Michelle Bachman, which is unfortunate. KW does far better as Nancy Pelosi.

Bill Hader's James Carville steals the clip, however. Very nicely played.

Update:
Picked up by the Reaganite Republican Resistance, who has a nice roundup to tide you over as I finish the FMJRA.

Update II:
KURU Lounge seems to find it strange that SNL can properly address the Tea Party movement. What part of "the mainstream media is a propaganda organ" did you not grasp, Chad?

Update III:
Tom Lewis links it.

  1. How come SNL manages to call it the Tea Party Movement and CNN et. al. all insist on refering to Tea Baggers

  2. @Chad,
    Because SNL realizes that they would throw away significant audience if they acted like a pack of ass-hats.
    They play a fairly even hand.
