Daily Kos Readers Muse About How the Lapdog Media Can Help Them Out

The SNL response is what is important (5+ / 0-)
Romney lied his ass off and the trick is now to get that fact into the conversation.
The trick is to get SNL to do an Al Gore type hit on Romney with respect to his trouble with the truth. That is what forms the narrative – Saturday Night Live, Letterman’s/Leno’s/Conan’s monologues, more so than politcal pundits and flash polls. Really relatively few undecideds were going to watch that debate. Sure after the last month half of us good guys thought that Romney would go out there and basically drool all over himself. So Romney scored points by looking Presidential – this is conceded. But he gave OFA so much ammunition with his lying.
By my estimation, the President didn’t give the narrative setters anything they didn’t already have – they already portray the President as professorial and that is the way he came off tonight. Not particularly fun to watch, but it is how he is sometimes.

That is an excellent point. I really don’t know (1+ / 0-)
how SNL will respond to this debate. There was no instantaneous moment to mock. Maybe Lehrer losing control of the debate? Obama was his usual self and Romney was hyper. That was it. No big lines from either debator. SNL is also concerned about being “fair and balanced” so they’ll hit both sides. I think you are right that Obama didn’t give them any new material. I don’t know what they’ll do with Romney though.

Romney as a hyper used-car salesman (1+ / 0-)
is what I would portray him as. Overly animated with a wild-eyed look, waving his hands manically, strands from his carefully-coiffed hairdo coming out of place, and a stream of non-sequiturs — all lies and impossible promises — coming out out his mouth.
The Freepers more or less pushed the image in a very bad photoshop job earlier in the year. Let’s run with it.

We’ll see. I’ve been pretty disappointed in SNL’s (0+ / 0-)
portrayal of Romney. They’ve made him a boring dork and ignored his slimy side completely.

How about an SNL sketch where Obama is saying, “No, I didn’t prep for the debate at all. But I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night!”
David Axelrod: “No, you stayed at the Ritz-Carlton penthouse suite.”
John Kerry: “And Michelle ate SIX LOBSTERS!”

Ah yes, the democrats really need SNL to convince the rest of america to vote for the empty suit, chair and head again. Jesus, how stupid can these people be?

Would you like clown makeup and bodily noises with that costume, Mr. Gore?

So, has SNL now become Preparation H for all demmorhoids?
They have to make fun of Romney because they got their feelings hurt and their self-esteem was damaged. And they look to an out-dated, tired, not-even-close-to-comedy show to set things right?
One more reason why libtards should never be allowed in public office. They need to grow up.

Sad these dolts think SNL is going to turn things around for them. Demonstrates that they voted based on all show and no substance and now that substances has been shoved in their face they can’t handle it.

What, exactly, do they think Romney lied about? Can they provide examples?

Oh brother. Really? They think this train is going to slow down and stop at the cuckoo factory? I’m already thinking about the new lame, low point that juan williams, that colmes guy, etc are babbling incoherently after Romney’s spectacular win. Tears. There will be tears. Here, have a hanky.

These Kolholes miss one very important thing when they say things like he got his. Romney “got his” because he worked his butt off.
Now they want to have the hard workers’ money so they can get theirs without the work.
Lazy whiners.
Can we please send them to Mexico and not provide bottled water so they all have the runs?

The liberal media is circling the drain. When Obama loses this election, they will all join Current TV. MSNBC will cease to exist.
