Saturday Night Live raised the curtain on a new era of political ridicule with a funny skit lampooning House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her so-called "San Francisco values." Watch the video clip or read the transcript:
A Nancy Pelosi impersonator, speaking to voters: "You sent this White House a message: That stay the course in Iraq is not a plan; that our healthcare system should serve ordinary citizens, not pharmaceutical compaines; that so-called rough sex can be a necessary and fulfilling adjunct to a healthy sex life, particularly when it involves fantasy role-play scenarios, such as kidnapping or forced interrogation -- provided, of course, that both participants are willing and disease-free, and have agreed on what we call a safe word. For example, 'Palomino'; that an increase in the minimum wage is long overdue; and finally, that U.S. citizens do not surrender their consitutional rights the moment they engage in multiple partner or group sex -- provided, once again, that all participants are willing, at least 12 years of age and no peanuts or peanut products are used."• Related: SNL Videos | Late-Night Comedy | Today's Videos | Top 25 Videos
"We Americans have always been a religious people, a member of my staff tells me. Whatever you may have heard, the Democratic Party is not anti-religion. Whether you're a wicken priestess, druid, tantric Buddhist priest ... Presbyterian or member of the Cult of Collie, your faith will be respected, so long as no animals are harmed during your ceremonies -- except, of course, gerbils."
On the diversity of the new Dem-controlled Congress: "Chairing the Judiciary Committee, John Conyers; at Ways and Means, Charles Rangel; at Homeland Security, Bennie Thompson; at Government Reform, Ernesto Guevara Jr.; at Agriculture, this naked hippie and his old lady; at Small Business, yet another black dude; at Finance, the drummer from Rage Against the Machine; and at Intelligence, al-Qaeda number two man Ayman al-Zawahiri. Truly a Congress that looks like America."
Comments
When referencing the political Party, the correct term is Democrat, not “Democratic.” Republicans, Constitutionalists, Libertarians, Democrats are all democratic. The Party is Democrat. Please try to educate the public and please, in the future, use Democrat when referring to the political Party. Thank you.
