I hope people vote for Hillary because of Tina Fey. I doubt Obama was too worried because people were voting for him on the sole basis that they liked the will.i.am video "Yes we can." Fair is fair. Obama does not have a monopoly on stupid supporters.

It has to be hard for Eric Alterman et al to continue to argument that the MSM is not in tank for the left. Then again, with how much they constantly delude themselves, in spite of fact, they can go on for generations... as long as there are generations wanting to believe in their fairy tales.

Reality based indeed.

I think the problem with Fey's commentary was that it really wasn't that funny. I kept waiting for the punchline, the twist on it that would leave everyone laughing. Instead it was just a plea to support Clinton interspersed with a few "ha ha" wisecracks that barely rose to the level of amusement.

If that sort of drivel is the best hope of the Clinton campaign they may as well pack it up right now.

I thought it was FANTASTIC!! All I could think was, "Finally, someone is addressing the media bias for Obama!" The media should be ridiculed when they make themselves ridiculous drooling all over Obama. It's the media's coverage of the primaries that has made the phrase "journalistic integrity" a joke, not a skit on SNL.
If CNN can cut Hillary off in the middle of the debates and blantantly cater to Obama, then Tina Fey can give her shout out to Hillary. I was incredibly proud of her and was yelling and applauding all alone in my apartment.
Get your heads out of your asses America and vote for someone who actually has a prayer of accomplishing something as President. Vote for Hillary!
Proud to be a bitch!

People who refer to Hillary Clinton as a "bitch" are not usually confused with her supporters.

I think the joke has been missed.

SNL and Fey, along with many cast members, past and present, are famous for doing political commentary in their skits! It's funny, and it's satire. If it's not funny for you, wait a while until you are on the opposite side of the skewered. The concern for "swooning media" and over-hype for Obama didn't appear on SNL first. Rest assured, he's loving it. Doesn't mean we all do, and it is tiring, as much of this long campaign is. This fact earns it a place in the SNL lineup! Regarding the choice of our next president, how about if we look at the candidates' stance on the relevant issues that we care about? Thing is, we differ, and they do, too. They all have positions posted on line. The simple fact is that history will be made this year by Democrats, and that party's candidate will win. That is really what has everyone so engaged! So do your homework, citizens, and learn to not take all this satire so seriously! Laugh a little now when you can, because we all have some serious problems facing us after the party.

Perhaps SNL is just anxious that they haven't found anyone to play Obama. By contrast, they sure had Hillary down cold (and I mean cold) when Amy P did a skit on her last year. Mathews asked if, knowing what we now know, voting for Iraq war had been a mistake. Hillary's character responded that voters "know that my support for the Iraq war has always been sincere." Of course, "knowing what we know now -- that you could vote against the war and still be elected president -- I never would have pretended to support it in the first place." She seems to be operated by remote control. This week she decides to be "angry" at Obama. Before she "cried" in New Hampshire. It is pretty easy to see that comedians would have a much easier time with Hillary than McCain or Obama. No wonder they are sweating bullets. It has been years since they actually had to think very hard to make fun of a president, and they don't want to have to start.

I don't think they're seriously campaigning for anyone. Tina Fey may love Hillary on "Weekend Update", but her 30 Rock character supports Obama. They're just trying to be funny.

I actually thought the monologue was funny and spirited, but it's not exactly the kind of message Hillary's campaign would want to adopt... Imagine: "yeah, I *am* a bitch! Get used to it! um... and vote for me?" It works great in a comedy sketch, and as a woman I understand the heartfelt sentiment, so kudos to Tina Fey for that, but don't expect this to rally a sudden turnaround for Hillary in the polls. As a political message, this is totally alienating. And by the way, "J", Nobody votes for Obama because Oprah tells them to. That's just silly and unfair to the millions of women who like and trust Oprah's opinions. She another source of information about a candidate, but ultimately every voter's choice is her own. Oprah knows Obama personally and trusts him and believes in him. WHen she vouches for him, it's no different than Bill vouching for Hillary. Oprah has been moved by a sincere and committed leader whom she believes will help America move forward. What's wrong with her speaking up about that? She has every bit as much right to speak up about it as any of us does to support and campaign for the candidate we believe in. That's what free speech and civic engagement is all about. She happens to have a bigger platform, as does Tina Fey. So what? The backlash Oprah has gotten as a "traitor to her gender" is every bit as unfair and small minded as the sexist crap Hillary Clinton gets from the media. Let's not stoop to that level and act as though she's asking people to be mindless voters. She's just trying to earnestly convey a message she believes in... same as any of us on these chat boards.

"if someone is moved to vote/support hillary just because of what tina fey has to say - well, that's sad"

But all those people voting for Obama because Oprah tells them too, is OK?
