I was wondering how Saturday Night Live was going to handle Scott Brown…and they came up with a doozy.
Host Jon Hamm was SPOT ON as Senator-elect Brown – and loved Bill Hader as Robert Byrd (sketch also features Harry Reid, Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi, and Barney Frank) .
Caution to SoCons: this sketch draws heavily on certain things Scott Brown did in the early 1980′s and definitely qualifies as “off color”.

Adam, to warn our SoCon friends that this skit is “off-color,” is a gross under-statement. It’s downright risque, and quite hilarious.
I almost pity my SoCon friends for not being able to enjoy humor like this, that we libertarians/libertines, absolutely adore.
Y’all’s loss. Our gain.

I congratulate my libertarian comrades on an open-mindedness matched only by their condescension.

For the record – I’m socially conservative myself (though I generally label myself “libertarian-leaning movement conservative”) – but obviously I watched said skit.

Ok, I watched it and it was humorous ..
but Jay Leno, as well as John Stewart and his The Daily Show do this kind of stuff better and well, daily.

That skit was very funny. SNL can get it right every once and a while, like they did with the media worshipping Obama in the primaries and the first Tina Fey/Sarah Palin appearance.

No, the media never stopped worshipping Obama, and the proof of it, was that very weak effort by Tina
Fey, that people mistook for Sarah. But it’s a pretty funny bit

Now that Scott Brown’s here, Mitt can’t even claim to be the best looking Republian from Massachusetts anymore. Just the most liberal.

Brown/Rubio 2012!!!!!

Looks like Scott Brown is the new GOP frontrunner, and the most authentic, not the foursome Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin
Pawlenty ,Huckabee. Maybe this will propel the GOP to victory in 2012. a more centrist stand!

Mitt is still the best looking candidate, and he also has the best hair.
Eat your hearts out, haters.
