SNL's Weekend Update team of Amy Poehler and Seth Meyers take jabs at Elliot Spitzer and Mitt Romney while alumnus Tracy Morgan comes back to respond to Tina Fey's promotion of Hillary Clinton three weeks ago with his own defense of Barack Obama.
Transcript of Morgan below the fold:
MORGAN: Why is it that every time a black man in this country gets too good at something, there’s always someone come around and remind us that he’s black? First Tiger, then Donavan McNabb then me. Now Barack. I got a theory about that. It’s a little complicated but basically, it goes like this: we are a racist country. The end. It’s not the people in this room, but if we’re not a racist country, how did Hillary Clinton convince everybody in Texas and Ohio that Barack didn’t know how to answer the phone at 3 in the morning? Let me tell you something, Barack knows how to answer that phone. He’s not going to answer it like, (soft, frightened voice) “Hello, I’m scared. What’s going on?” He is gonna answer it like I would get a phone call at 3 in the morning: “Yeah, who’s this? This better be good or I’m going to come down there and put somebody in a wheelchair.”
Some things never change, Seth. People saying he’s not a fighter. Let me tell you something. He’s a gangsta, he’s from Chicago. Barack is not winning because he’s a black man. If that was the case, I would be winning. And I’m way blacker than him. I used to smoke Newports and drink Olde English. I grew up on government cheese, I prefer it. Now there’s all this stuff and all this talk about the pastor. Barack has to stay away from the pastor, ‘cause he’s too black. But just because he knows the dude doesn’t think…doesn’t mean that he’s gonna think like him. Look, I have a friend who goes to strip clubs, that doesn’t mean that I am gonna go to the strip club.
MEYERS: But you do go to strip clubs.
MORGAN: Yeah, but I go for the girls, not because my friend is going. I have integrity. Barack is qualified. Personally, I want to know what qualifies Hillary Clinton to be the next president. Is it because she was married to the president? If that were the case then Robin Givens would be the heavyweight champion of the world. If Hillary’s last name wasn’t Clinton, she’d be some crazy white lady with too much money and not enough lovin’. That’s where I come in. I know women like that, you do not want them on the phone at 3 in the morning. In conclusion, three weeks ago, my girl Tina Fey went on the show, she declared that “bitch is the new black”. You know I love you, Tina. You know you’re my girl. But I have something to say. Bitch may be the new black, but black is the new president, bitch.
First.
And so true Tracy. Clinton's last name is all she's got.
I think it should be alumnus, not alumni. There's only one of him, right?
Tracy Morgan is not an alumni, he's an alumnus.
Ugh. Just as bad as the Tina Fey thing.
Here we go again.
that was the funniest that i have ever seen traci
"Bitch" may be the new "Black", but "Black" is the new "President", Bitch...
Love It!
Out-friggin-standing ROTFLMAO!!!!
lets get a republican on there next to advocate McCain. foreign born POW snitch is the new natural born citizen war hero.
Verdillac @ 6:
aahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
This is what Obama’s response to the questions about his crazy pastor should be…
Jeremiah Wright and a whole lot of other old angry black civil rights leaders and preachers grew up in a brutal and segregated America. Lynchings and hangings and beating were common in the south. They had to bear repeated insult and injury and an unfair shake from the law and society at large.
The bitterness and anger of a lot of these men, has unfortunately not changed with the times. And it is a large part of the reason why they make boneheaded comments today. It is tragic, because America has grown a lot and their anger prevents them from seeing it as such. So it is important to categorically denounce their divisive and hateful language. While racism still exists, America has made great bounds in fairness towards women and minorities and most people are ready to judge others on the content of their character, not the color of the skin, or gender.
The legacy of the oppression still exists in the infrastructure of our society, in poor schools and neighborhoods etc and should be addressed. but for the most part, anyone, black, white, woman, Hispanic, native American who tries hard enough can make the American dream for themselves.
It's the economy!
Give the commissions, the big bonuses and the big salaries back and then let's talk about another government bailout. It's just too easy to bailout Wall Street without debate. Look at the debates in Congress when the GOP argues over a few bucks here and there but nowhere do I see them arguing a bailout of *their* damned problem. They own this rotting mess so every Democrat needs to pin it on the GOP every waking minute of the day. This goes well beyond Bush. It's the entire GOP.
"We're in the most serious economic problem we've been in in a very long time, much worse than 2001. The president's hands-off attitude is reminiscent of Herbert Hoover in 1929, in 1930," said Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y. "There are lots of things that can be done, particularly on housing. Housing has been the bull's eye of this crisis."
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said, "Much of what the administration has done has been too late."
http://www.americablog.com/
No One Whants to talk about the economy!
Whoever that "comic" is on the right I can hear him now:
"Why is this lame show still on the air?"
Looks like the unions are upset parents want to home school there kids, word might get out about how bad the school system is..
krisken @ 4:
nowhere near as bad. and this was actually funny.
krisken @ 4:
I didn't think so. Fey labeled herself a derogatory name: bitch (and proud of it, I might add).
“Bitch may be the new black, but black is the new president, bitch…" Justifiably said...invited, as a matter of fact.
For Morgan to stoop to Fey's level, he'd have said something like "[the N word] is the new black."
I was offended by Fey's stupid comments; I clapped when Morgan said what he said (and it was obvious he has deep affection for Fey).
Sometimes ya gets what ya asks for.
No wonder the country is going down, can't believe they air this filth
chris @ 16:
Well, that's certainly a nice sentiment to have over your own commentary.
nitpicker @ 2:
Damn, I knew my one year of Latin didn't stick! I used the word alumnum last night and thought I was smart for not using alumni. Knew it didn't sound right.
Regarding Spitzer here's a piece from Greg Palast, just a great informative short read about Bush, predatory lending, bank collapse, lots of our tax dollars, and Spitzer's arrest:
Eliot’s Mess
Way more relevant and on-topic than Tina Fey's thing, I thought. Just way too late.
Also, Tina Fey's was just a few arguments embellished with metaphors; Tracy Morgan's was a collection of succinct points and counterpoints. To the average viewer, Fey's might have been more convincing, but to somebody closely following the campaign, Morgan's was a lot more truthful.
THAT'S how to be funny.
Bring back Tracy Morgan!!
P.S. Before I get flamed, let me say that I really like Tina Fey. I just don't think SNL has been very funny for the past several years.
Actually SNL was edgier 30 years ago, when you had such skits as Garrett Morris as a prisoner auditioning for a jail talent show singing how he was goinig to grab a knife and kill all the whiteys he sees.
In another skit, right after Chevy Chase did the Weekend Update he announced a new service for the deaf, Garrett Morris yelling the news through his hands.
actually, he was a prisoner going up for parole and lyin thru his teeth about how he is reformed and goin the straight route and just before they are about to grant him parole, he asks if he can sing a song - and it's about getting a shotgun and killing all the whiteys LOL it's too funny - and I'm white :P
ysbaddaden @ 17:
LOL!
burnt @ 8:
that's what I'm talkin' about.
DC @ 11:
Shhhhhh. You don't want wake the country. I'll bet you 200 BILLION of our dollars that the Spitzer takedown had nothing to this.
I love Tracey Morgan so much more now. He just knows how to call it so clearly.
#24,
If you are THE Larry David, considering the current housing crisis, maybe you could share some of your tips for finding warm places on the street to live. I remember reading a story about how, before Seinfeld was hit, and your financial situation was less secure, you would take note of heating vents along the streets of NY and tell yourself, "I could live here."
Love your work!
If I don't think it was that funny am I a racist? Or am I just boring.
chris @ 13:
were you home schooled...your spelling and reasoning reveal a lack of adequate education.
Uh, yo -- that's not funny, Tracey. That's sexist.
And it's stupid.
Seems sexism is the new racism?
Obama's campaign had their feelings hurt, they pressured SNL to give their guy equal time, (like the whiny girlie-men with little bittie fwightened voices answering the phone at 3AM) did they?
Why is Tracey Morgan repeating Republican talking points (she's only running 'cause she's Mrs. Clinton?) and sexist talking points (hyuk hyuk Hillary's just not getting enough hyuk)?
Stepin' Fetchit coming back, too? Watermelon jokes? Nooses?
Oh right. Those we don't do anymore, do we?
Humorous maybe. But I worry that all the sniping (even in joking) is gonna give us President McCrazy.
ysbaddaden @ 22:
Chevy Chase: "Our top story tonight"
Garrett Morris:
damn submit button
Garrett Morris: "OUR TOP STORY TONIGHT'
I thought SNL was supposed to be funny. It used to be funny, back when they had some real talent (e.g. Belushi, Chase, Radner, et al). Now it's pretty much irrelevant.
[Deleted-Sitemonitor]
I haven't watch SNL for a long time, and I was kind of surprise that its not as edgy as the old days. I think Seth was only funny in the "oh really" sketch, but his opening is not up to par with the edgier days of SNL. I think Tracy was the best part, and great point and counter point. I love it when comedy and truth are side by side.
Seth, Really? Nazi did this to the Eskimo on home schooling, really? An Asian guy afraid to leave the house, really?
It sounded more like the half hour news show skit. Are the writer still on strike? really?
Well Seth was funny in the Really skit, so he is capable of being funny. But his opening humor was not even a heckle.
Bwahahahahahahaha!
"bitch may be the new black, but black is the new president; bitch."
ahhhhhh, finally "all in the family" 70's style commentary.
john @ 35:
Why how prophetic of you!
Yes I do need to go to the bathroom.
Yeah, I could have done without the whiny voice answering the phone at 3 a.m. That was extremely sexist. But for everything else, he was right on: "If being black could make you president, *I'd* be the president! I'm way more black than Obama is!"
If bitch is the new black and black is the new president - doesn't that make the bitch the new president?
john @ 35:
I need you to wear a bell around your neck, so we can all hear you coming and take the appropriate precautions.
I'm votin' for Nader.
Oh, Tracy Morgan, that was snap!
Did I say "snap?" I couldn't have said that, cuz snap just don't cut it for that snap. Snap's too small for that snap. That snap was BIG, like when you're standing with your surfboard lookin' at the shore, then you turn around and a big old wave hits you right in the face, whap!
Tina Fey, you just turned around and got hit in the face by a big old wave you didn't see coming. Whap, with a big, wet splash and lots of salty water up your cute little nose. Now your hair is wet, your eyes are stinging and you're honking nasty salt water out of your cute little nose.
Tracy Morgan, that was whap, splash, honk!
"Bitch may be the new black, but black is the new president, bitch."
Awesome. That was some funny sh*t!
Rodney King @ 43:
(Sarcasm on) Good idea. That less than 5% of the vote he gets will really make a point! (Sarcasm off)
14All @ 40:
He wasn't doing a Hillary voice, there... he was mocking the SNL skit portrayal of OBAMA'S voice.
Just so you know.
you need to make sure you see the video. I was in stitches. I could not help it.
john @ 3:16
(not!) from your mouth to God's ear.
LOL
bklyn @ 41:
No, no. See, bitch now stands in for black and replaces the status black once had. Meanwhile, black, having been replaced by bitch, moves over to replace the status the president once had.
And the president can move over, perhaps to take bitch's old place, preferably as someone's bitch in a prison for international war criminals.
;)
Paul in Boca @ 32:
(just trying to help)
I liked the Chevy Chase/Richard Pryor Janitor job interview. Belly laughs, guffaws, eye wide open, then taking time to recompose myself. Yeah, THAT funny.
I never nissed that show in the late 70's. I'd be home rolling things and "warming up the TV". Since then, I only see clips on here.
The only way this isn't funny is if you still cling to the hope Hillary can honorably win the elected delegate count, the popular vote count, and the superdelegates. (sweetie, they're not 'automatic.' don't keep trying to rewrite the rules to make up for you own failures.) And we all know that ain't happnin. So now Clinton is trying to game the Associated Press to be her new conference call/press release mouthpiece. Maybe one reason we have this :
What is Clinton hiding?
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/editorials/chi-0316edit2mar16...
"This exercise in secrecy is part of a Clinton pattern that grows more worrisome all the time. The former first lady often says that she, unlike Obama, has been thoroughly vetted, rendering her impervious to Republican attacks. In fact, there are some important things unknown about her -- and her conduct suggests she wants to keep it that way. Which raises a question for voters: What is she hiding, and why?"
chris @ 13:
Hi chris. Since you know so much about home schooling, what percentage of parents who home school their children are fundamentalist "christians?"
Karen @ 50:
There ya go!
Trashy, low brow, appealing to the lowest common denominator.
Edwin Hussein (not a scary black Reverend) @ 52:
Sounds like you've seen plenty of clips in the late 70's.
"Oh wow, that's so funny...what did he say?"

BaScOmBe whose saying "NO REPUGS" @ 51:
I just remembered another one with Garrett Morris. He was like a radical who was insisting that the CIA under a new law had to show him his record. Dan Ackroyd was a flustered CIA desk jokey with mounds of paper every where, like nothing could be found. But as soon as Morris left, Ackroyd was all business putting out an alert on him.

I am not Morgan's fan, but I was in stitches as well. To the point. Tina Fey and SNL sux for maaany years, and are NOT funny - at all. her/SNL's Vaseline Intensive Care special treatment of shillary was desperate/ridiculous.
Good for Tracy to say it as it IS. he took care of the rascisy old bag Rove-Ferraro as well. shillary has MANY surrogates who pollute the earth with their constant bullshit.
Morgan:
... It’s a little complicated but basically, it goes like this: we are a racist country. The end.
.... Barack is not winning because he’s a black man. If that was the case, I would be winning. And I’m way blacker than him. ...
.. Personally, I want to know what qualifies Hillary Clinton to be the next president. Is it because she was married to the president? If that were the case then Robin Givens would be the heavyweight champion of the world. If Hillary’s last name wasn’t Clinton, she’d be some crazy white lady with too much money and not enough lovin’. '''
Exactly !!
Ben Smith at Politco says Hillary always phones in her attacks. From her perch. Way up high. Over the little people. Like Leona Helmsley. Okay, I added the rest of it.
I'm surprised they didn't demand Obama reject and denounce Tracy Morgan for saying 'bitch!'
Clinton campaign calls foul
http://weblogs.chicagotribune.com/news/politics/blog/2008/03/clinton_cam...
Senator Hillary Clinton's camp just held a conference call with reporters, pouncing on a story in today's Chicago Tribune – "Obama prepares for full assault on Clinton" by John McCormick – saying the piece painted a blueprint of how Obama plans to attack Clinton's character and ethics.
That's not exactly what the story says.
Instead, the article lays out Team Obama's plans to hit Clinton "over ethics and transparency," i.e., Clinton not yet releasing her tax returns, the donor list to the Clinton library and Congressional earmarks. However, that discrepancy didn't stop Howard Wolfson, Clinton's communications director, and Mark Penn, Clinton's chief strategist, from taking the opportunity to blast their perception of Obama's approach.
On a pseudo-related note, I love Seth Meyers' ability to destroy any half-decent joke with his sloppy, rambling delivery. Not that Poehler is all that much better, of course. But then, perhaps I've just been spoiled by correspondents on The Daily Show like Jon Oliver, Rob Riggle, Jason Jones, ad infinitum.
It would be nice if people can stop demonizing Hillary Clinton so they feel better about their choice to support Obama. They're both good--and yes, flawed, as human beings tend to be--candidates. And the supposed 'barbs' they have been flinging at each other are not nearly as catastrophic as pundits would have you believe. This is child's play, what they're putting each other through. News outlets are doing most of the spinning themselves, though ultimately Obama's camp or Clinton's camp will be blamed for how this-or-that is interpreted. It's absurd. After watching Olbermann's 'The fate of the world hangs on your shoulders, Hillary Clinton!' op-ed piece, I can't help but chuckle when I think about how so many Americans hyperventilate the minute any 'shocking' news hits the airwaves. Obama wore a turban at some point for some event! Someone working for Hillary Clinton is retarded, and she resigned! SCANDAL! They must hate each other so much!
Sure. No projecting here, eh, guys?
ScrewBush @ 19:
Bear Stearns affair is outrageous (no outrage voiced by the U Sheeple of America, nor the Dems KongreSS..), but it's quite a stretch to whore-iffic Spitzer, a creepy jerk by many counts, a terrible, ineffective, argumentative, arrogant/ignorant disappointment to ALL of us who voted him into office in NYS/NYC.
Once in this level of OFFICE, there is nothing private really - taxpayers pay for all (such as his travel out of NYS each time he had these whore-ibble encounters), thus should be in the know. We have the HIGHEST TAXES in the nation, combined - it's a crime to use them for hookers. Like it or not, it IS a crime.
He has NOT achieved ANYTHING in his 1.5 years in the gov office - now we know why: was too busy with the hos and his dick ..He should have ample time now to continue his hobby.
Patriot ACT in action - Spitzer follies would not be known most probably had it not been for the Patriot Act DEMS helped into being !!
... Whore-ibble Spitzer was LAUNDERING money in many ways, for MANY years .. it IS a CRIME.
1. U.S. Is Examining Spitzer’s Funds
ALBANY — Federal prosecutors are investigating whether Gov. Eliot Spitzer used campaign funds in connection with his meetings with prostitutes, including payments for hotels or ground transportation, three people with knowledge of the investigation said.
Prosecutors have asked the governor’s lawyers about the travel arrangements for three trips, including his Feb. 13 rendezvous with a prostitute at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington. The United States attorney’s office in Manhattan has also asked about the governor’s use of car services during trips to Washington."'
cont ..
2. Investigators Seek Records of Spitzer Campaign’s Payments to a Consultant
....One person said the authorities had requested detailed documentation for thousands of dollars in reimbursements to the consultant, Kristian B. Stiles, who has worked on Mr. Spitzer’s campaigns since 2003 and directs national fund-raising.
Another person with knowledge of the investigation said the authorities were particularly interested in hotel room charges during trips Mr. Spitzer took to West Palm Beach, Fla., Dallas and Washington, where he might have arranged to meet prostitutes.
....... snipppp ...
..Ms. Stiles frequently made Mr. Spitzer’s travel arrangements and paid with her own credit card, according to a person with knowledge of the campaign’s operations. Ms. Stiles, who often accompanied Mr. Spitzer on trips to coordinate fund-raising events, was comfortable incurring hotel and other charges that would be reimbursed later, the person said.
Such an arrangement is unusual, said several people with considerable experience in the financial dealings of campaign committees, including one who had worked on a prior Spitzer campaign. They said fund-raising consultants usually insist that the campaign pay directly for flights, hotels and ballrooms because they do not want to be without that money while waiting for reimbursement or to get stuck with the bill. ...
Charles E. Clayman, a criminal defense lawyer and a former federal prosecutor, said he was retained by Ms.Stiles’s ...
..snippp - snippp ..
The State Board of Elections requires campaigns to itemize reimbursements for individual purchases of $50 or more. Campaigns are supposed to list any recipient’s name and address, along with the date, check number and purpose. It is this kind of backup documentation that the authorities now want to examine.
Before going to work for Mr. Spitzer, Ms. Stiles worked for former Representative Richard A. Gephardt, of Missouri, as a low-level fund-raising official. Two senior Gephardt campaign staff members said on Saturday that they had only a faint
recollection of Ms. Stiles.
When she was working for Mr. Gephardt, Ms. Stiles put in for monthly reimbursements for travel, but they appeared to be for her own costs, and the amounts were far less than the ones she had put in for with Mr. Spitzer 2010 campaign committee, records showed.
..snipppp ..
Her lawyer, Mr. Clayman, has his own connection to Mr. Spitzer. He once represented a couple charged with diverting hundreds of thousands dollars of donations from Hale House, a Harlem charity. The state attorney general who brought the case was Mr. Spitzer.
Are we even a serious electorate anymore?
SNL should have a 3rd comedian come out in support of McCain and Tina Fey and Tracey Morgan should beat him up.
kravitz @ 53:
.
The best was the bottom line from shillary's chief liar:
"... When asked by a reporter if they were criticizing techniques they themselves have used – a little political 'pot calling the kettle black' – Penn disagreed.
"We have run a substantially positive campaign," he said.
HaaaaHaaaaHaaaaaaHaaaa ...
SNL=Corpse
I love how anything that comes up against Clinton must be finecombed for sexist comments and anything that comes up against Obama must be finecombed for racist comments.
Can't we just allow humour to be humour? Even when it has racist/sexist overtones? Or do we have to ring the alarm for anything being sexist/racist? Just gets annoying to me now that anytime someone tries to lighten the mood on this stuff and make a point, somehow has to fire that its racist/sexist.
Tracy's right about one thing---the US is a racist country.
He forgot to mention that it's also a sexist country.
McCain will be the next president of the US.
god when will they kill this show...it sucks so bad!!!!!
SNL GO AWAY...
ps. thanks tracy...
Hold on just a damn minute. Can some one explain to my happy ass what Amy was saying when she was talking about the Britta water filter? I don't understand what was funny there. I loved this segment on SNL. Keep up the good work. Ok everyone get back at it!
HEY! All you political geniuses out there who get your news from Colbert & Tina Fey... listen up!
The-Great-One-Obama has mentioned his race every chance he gets. "I don't look like the guys on the dollar bills." Etc., etc.
Try readings a newspaper or watching someone other than Christ-my-leg-is-tingling-Matthews.
Go ahead.... try to deny it!!
This rant from Morgan shows exactly why Obama should NOT be president.
Is the show getting relevant again? It is flirting with the anarchy of the 70's cast.
Steve Charb @ 20:
In your estimation. Let me guess, you are an Obama supporter? What I would like to know is how many of Morgan's relatives had their hands out during the Clinton years?

but they keep trying
http://www.dailyhowler.com/dh031408.shtml
Not to say that Traci Morgan isn't funny, just not here -- but all he said showed the usual childish obsession with the word "bitch," which is, I guess, written into the Obama campaign literature, right?
Meanwhile, while the web was taking glee is a Hillary superdelegate getting nailed by the feds -- and dissing his wife as a stand-in for Hillary -- I mean, famous doyenne and former homewrecking adulterer Sally Quinn was completely indignant! Meanwhile, Greg Palast tells us what was going on:
http://www.gregpalast.com/elliot-spitzer-gets-nailed/
So, they spied on Spitzer, found prostitutes -- which destroyed him politically, don't get me wrong -- and just happened to leak this to the press in time for the Bear Stearns bailout. Hmm, no wonder there was a big market rally when Eliot's statue was taken down. Didn't last, but a big rally.
But go ahead, peeps, keep having your "I'm taking, like, total umbrage" pissing contests. They're going to win in the fall if we don't get our act together.
My theory is the more racist and sexist and uptight this country is, the more people are willing to shell out higher cost for illegal activities such as drug, sex, and violent animal sports.
Spitzer is a perfect example, he enforce busting the prostitution ring and had to pay so much extra to get it for himself. The law of supply and demand.

Geez lighten up. Both bits were funny.

I think both Tina's and Morgan's skits were funny. SNL is suppose to be funny and they are making fun of us. We need to be made fun of.
What is interesting is that it is OK for a black man to call a white woman a bitch but what degrading word could a white woman call a black man and not be called a racist? It is OK to be a sexist, even cool, but it is not OK to be a racist. That is sad but oh so true.

w00t!
Yea, funny. Shows you the level of intelligence of the average Obama supporter if they think that was funny. Fey labeled herself to bond with the Hillary and the crap she always gets. Pointing out that sometimes you have to be a bitch to get things done. Morgan just echos what Muslims and hip hop gang bangers think about women. Bitches and hos ain't good for nothing. The american hating, white hating muslims can not be allowed to take over this country. It's not the idea of a black president that scares us, its the idea that an anti-american regime will take over. Violence and hate seems to be the only resolution coming from this community.
Obvious he has deep affections for Fey. What is wrong with the critical thinking level in this country. He hates her just like he hates any other strong, intelligent women. Jeesh dont they know their place. Misogyny is thy name hip hoppers and Muslims.
When the Spitzer thing broke, I knew Seth & Amy had to bring out their "A-game" for this kind of media gold. They delivered. The Really!?! segment was the only good one since they roasted Michael Vic. Tracey Morgan's comments/rebuttal was brilliant. I don't think I've laughed that hard at Weekend Update since the days of Dennis Miller.
It's hard to be that GOOD every time. Letterman's Top 10 is rarely as funny as this was. Even Chevy Chase isn't funny all the time, remember his brief stint as a late night host?
In summary and in conclusion, that was better than Tim Calhoun. But that's like comparing apples to prostitutes.
yes it is a racist country. Most of it coming from churches like Wright's towards whites, jews, and anybody else who doesn't bow to allah.
If not Hillary, I'd rather have president McCrazy. At least he loves America and its people.
Do to the seemingly lack of intellectual capacity-- to think deeply--,the Obama race baiter have been able to sell the Ferraro comment as racist. She wasn't saying that historically that being black made it easy to be president. She was saying that in these PC times, Obama was in the right place at the right time. That he really lacks the experience and credential at this time to be president. But that people wanted it to happen so badly that they didn't bother to look at his background or what he believes in. Her statement isn't even comparable to Obama's church. There was no hate in her statements. Obama spent 20 plus years being mentored by a hate monger. Can you imagine if Hillary or McCain wen to a church with David Duke as pastor. The media would have went crazy- and rightly so-- and their candidacy would have been dead. The Clintons have fought for all people their entire lives-- even against popular opinion-- and the Obama race baiters have the nerve to call them racist. Sad state of affairs in the African-american community right now. Obama and hate-filled churches will not improve their community. Education and recognizing that it is not selling your race out to assimilate as the rest of this melting pot has so willingly done. 90 percent of non-blacks in this country are not KKK racists. But we don't embrace the misogny and hate that is embraced in the hip hop culture. That is not progress as a people. As I say, we want peace and prosperity for all.

Um, I don't remember Tina's bit because I only saw it when it aired, but it seems (from previous comments on this thread) that she referred to herself as a bitch. Before Tracy did. Tracy was riffing on her statements. If he was a sexist for using her word against her, wasn't Tina for using the same sexist word? Or not because she's a woman? Anyway, I don't think many people here believe it's cool to be sexist no matter which candidate they're backing in this primary season.

I almost don't want to reply to you just because you had like five of the last seven comments, kind of carrying on a conversation with yourself... but I'll make some arguments against some of your points anyway. If Ferraro thinks he lacks credentials and experience to be president, she should speak up against Hillary considering him to be VP. She's not. Apparently he has enough experience to be second in command. This does not make sense. Second, while I have no idea what McCain's church is like (and I shouldn't really have any idea what Obama's is like), he DID get an endorsement from that Hagee guy who has some incredibly offensive, hateful stances and the ONLY place I see people pointing this out is in the "liberal blogosphere." I saw more MSM coverage on Obama's pastor than on McCain's endorsement from Hagee beyond a shadow of a doubt. Third, the "hip hop" culture is not all about misogyny. You're just aware of the negative stereotypes hip hop has in the mainstream media. Fourth, in response to some of your insinuations in recent posts, specifically the racism "coming from churches like Wright’s towards whites, jews, and anybody else who doesn’t bow to allah"... you do know that Allah is traditionally how Muslims refer to God and not Christians, right? Are you still under the impression that Obama is a Muslim even though that never had validity and Wright's church is obviously Christian? Those things made me think you were some hit and run anti-Obama guy throwing things out to see what stuck, but your persistent posting makes me think maybe you really want some discussion and are just confused.

Tina was making fun of the media and all those calling Hillary a bitch. That is what many educated ambitious women are called. We are called bitches. Look at all the sexist comments made by the media and their jobs weren't threatened like Imus' job was. Look at all the sexist comments made by Obama supporters. There are women who are participating in it. A darn shame. One day women will realize that one of the main things holding them back is them.
So Tina was not embracing the word "bitch"? "Taking it back," as it were?
ES @ 88:
Whoa, at least we know that Obama is niether a Muslim or a hip hopper. Sounds like you've been watching too much Fox News ES.

If you are a woman who has had to blaze a path in this world, and make it easier for those who follow and usually don't appreciate it, you have been called a bitch. It is so common we have learned to become comfortable with it.
Well, I just re-watched Tina Fey's bit and I don't see it as particularly enlightening. For the record, I wasn't blown away by Tracy's either. Anyway, I know this is all supposedly humor (though I took it as just a flat out endorsement for Hillary), but a few things really, really rub me the wrong way. Kind of insulting the intelligence of women who vote for Obama (because "Oprah told them to.") "Why are people abandoning Hillary for Obama?" suggests that Hillary either had his supporters or had an inherent right to his supporters. She made "bitch" enough of her segment that Tracy Morgan HAD to address it in his response. I remember that this happened the Saturday before the almost-Super-Tuesday in early March, and Tina is just flat out campaigning for Hillary on what's supposed to be some comedy show. They had already done an anti-Obama skit to open the show (the first of two "hey look at how soft the media is on this guy" weeks in a row). Just left a bad taste in my mouth. She only came on that night to campaign for Hillary and had to create some jokes around the premise. Amy Poehler is great and I'm scared they've already started overusing with her like they did Will Ferrell. Are we supposed to take away from this that it's okay to refer to ambitious women as bitches now, or is that where the humor comes in? She's not really saying it in a joking manner. Anyway, enough analysis on a weeks-old skit. I'd still vote Clinton over McCain any day, just wish I liked her campaign more.
illogical captain.
bklyn @ 41:
The statement is: "Bitch may be the new Black, but Black is the New President, Bitch."
Logically, the statement means:
1. Bitch displaced the 'old' Black and is the 'new' Black
2. The 'old' Black displaces the 'new' President.
Ergo, Bitch is relegated to old term 'black' while original term 'Black' takes over the Presidency.
ES @ 91:
Jeez, this is scary stuff! No, McCrazy would not be better than anyone. We have two good candidates and we don't have to participate in this Democratic self-immolation. (I still prefer Kucinich, actually.) Think Supreme Court and rid yourself of this mindless "my candidate or no one" partisanship!
[Deleted. Your font is messing things up. And BTW, 'Newsmax' is a laughable source-Sitemonitor]
Enough said
Tina Fey needs to stick to writing comedy as her political opinion is worthless because black is the new president, bitch. Priceless.
chris @ 16:
Keep crying. Hillary's fans are so good at it.
carol @ 98:
gosh...and all this time I was calling Hillary "Bitch" because she went along with the lies about Iraq, backed Wal-Mart up while they pursued legal slavery and made scads of money in the *people-killing* industry....but in reality,I call her "bitch" because I'm just jealous of her leadership skills and wealth and having the nerve to be a woman on top of it, not because she's a vile human being....
Thank You for opening my eyes to my mysogynyst ways...I will refer to her as "War Criminal" and "corporate toady" from now on..."War Criminal" and "corporate toady" know no gender bias.
ES @ 91:
...except for gays Jews and Catholics. Of course, these MUST be McCain's positions since, by the transistive property, we're assuming the catidate's share all their supporters' (ie Pastor John Hagee's) viewpoints.
Anorexia, the new funny.
Anonymous Source @ 99:
Ha! Like in Clerks 2. "I'm taking it back!"
Holy Hell! It doesn't matter if the cadidate is black, white, male, felmale. What matters is the ability to run this country without turning it into a social cesspool. None of the present candidates with the exception of Ron Paul have the ability to do that. Hell, with the candidates we do have we might as well just switch to communism.

forgot to mention ... this was the conversation about the meaning of [Deleted. Sorry, but too many words that trigger moderation...I just can't let it through with that stuff in there. Site Monitor] lets keep it in context please..
ALSO Mrs. Fey.... i love the stories of how you balance a millionaire's career with family... please. we should ask that to the waitress, with two kids, no ailmony from the ex, or the home care nurse that get maybe above minimum, if that with no benefits. hillary, obama ... the real democrat how to bow out and his name was John Edwards....
okey dokey, let us get one thing straight America. Allah means God (literally, Al = the, Ilah = God. Allah, "The God"). Islam is related to Christianity and Judaism. Islam faces many of same problems Christianity does: The fundamentalists do crazy shit, and the entire religion gets blamed. People should try and learn a bit about other religions and cultures, and stop listening to Fox News.
As for Hillary vs. Obama, it feels very much like Hillary is making this big fuss about everything, pointing fingers and blaming and saying he cannot answer a phone, and Obama is keeping his cool. Maybe it's just the way that I receive my news, but I feel much more comfortable about having Obama in office than Hillary. And just because my pastor feels one way or another doesn't mean that I inherently share the same view. Please stop freaking out about this.
Actually Allah is derived from the pre-Islamic, Arabic (Semitic) Goddess Allat.

ES@ 91
Stop it with the anti american bit...at least McCain loves America ...Of COURSE he does he would love France if he were born there. Some of you act like to love America is something unique...I love America but my families experiences are far different from McCains and even different from Obamas...I tell my children when they mess up that the MESSED UP and they get punished...do I love them any less?
Oh and Tracey was funny. I could have done better but it was funny LOL
Tina's I didn't like so much but she is one of the MOST awesome writers out there next to my brit fave Jennifer Saunders!
i cant believe people are still defending that Ferraro bitch. She used the exact same words for Jesse Jackson in 1988.
from digg: April 15, 1988 - Washington Post. Geraldine Ferraro said: "If Jesse Jackson were not black, he wouldn't be in the race" - used the exact same words about Obama and defended them on.
Ferraro should be in shackles. who listens to old ladies anymore anyway, in her time the shit she spews had a delightful following of most of white america. Now shes just praised by the KKK.
carol @ 82:
She called herself a bitch
Kudzu @ 56:
Obnoxious, elitist comment. We are all so glad that you are above us in refinement and taste.
A woman endorses Hillary and a black person endorses Obama, who woulda thunk it?
carol @ 98:
Don't be a crazy bitch. She is called a crazy bitch because she constantly says one thing, while doing another. If she was a man, she would be an asshole or a prick.

You fantasize about old lady's in bondage?
And I thought I was kinky.
Tracy Morgan = bigot
OMG, that's freaking HILARIOUS!
Tracy Morgan cracks me up
My question to you is:

There's a couple of him we photoshopped with that picture that's making it's rounds. You'll like it.
14All @ 40:
Interesting. My interpretation was that Morgan was mocking HRC's (and SNL's from last week's opening skit) implication that BHO would be the scared timid person at 3am. I don't think anyone can even hint much less say that HRC, based upon the persona she always has presented, would be scared and/or timid.
I thought Morgan's commentary was well done. Part of the SNL pushback on the consensus that it has gone too easy on HRC.
HRC, she is a phoney, a liar, a carpetbagger, and now wants florida and michigan to save her sinking ship with bubba, that white piece of trash, that didnt do anything for the economy at all, it was the cycle that is the economy. when you unleash your dogs like ferraro, billy bubba, BET chairman, and others the only thing you prove is that your ideas are over and done. yes obama can win the states you won, and will and he will take the states you didnt cause you could never win in the south like he can ...
ES @ 92:
So being black makes one a shoo-in for Prez? Ferraro's statement that a black man running for President is "lucky" is so laughable as to give rise to the inference of racism -- a black man couldn't be qualified in her world view. I have seen about 3 minutes, out of context (no when, where, to whom info), of over-the-top rhetoric with valid underlying points. And Obama says he never heard these statements. Is there reason to believe he is being untruthful? Why do you tie Obama to "the hip hop culture?" How much time do you spend in the "African-american community[sic]" so as to have an opinion? "[A]ssimilate as the rest of this melting pot has so willingly done" -- remember, Africans were kidnapped and sold into chattel slavery. They did not willingly immigrate here. That is hard to fathom if you haven't exerienced it. Much of the South was legally segregated until the mid '60's. 1960's. Assimilation is kind of hard when it is illegal. Did you ever hear a white southern preacher on race , say, 40 years ago? My Dad did. It wasn't pretty. Have you listened to Obama? Does he sound remotely like the the guy in those three minutes of sound bites? Not to me. "Can you imagine if Hillary or McCain wen to a church with David Duke as pastor." Yes, I have seen McCain embrace a right-wing talk show host just as out of line. McCain said he didn't hear the statements? Enough said.
Why is SNL still on the air anyways! This show just keeps hitting new lows... now i remember why i dont watch it anymore.
chris @ 16:
No wonder the country is going down--free education is ubiquitous but people choose to use improper grammar while mocking others.
Come on, people. At least fix up your own crap before calling something else trash.
Unfortunately Tracy missed the one question I had from watching that stupid Hillary commercial with the phone ringing at 3:00 in the morning...how long is the bitch going to let the phone ring? At the end we see why it took her so long to answer the thing...she had to get her makeup on!
Yes, I definitely am against Clinton for president, and not (as some people have accused) because she's a strong woman...it's because she the WRONG woman.
I would vote for Christine Gregiore in a New York minute for the oval office...the only thing I would vote for Hillary for, is to send her back to New York.

Yeah real talent like Murphy, Rock and Morgan

"Saying that Hillary has Executive Branch experience is like saying Yoko Ono was a Beatle."
Keep making them up!
Not that I'm scared or anything but I'm a conservative Republican supporting Hillary .. not because of Rush but because she is the most conservative thinking left standing of the remaining three.
It is ture all clinton has is her name but what does Obama have? He isnt even though with his first term...all he has is saying YES WE CAN. How are we going to do it Senator Obama? YES WE CAN...
NO WE CAN'T;)
If the democrats win, that's the end of America;)
