Chevy Chase...again

November 3, 2008

Chevy Chase is at it again. Like a cockroach crawling out to bask in the popularity of SNL, which, ironically, would not be happening if there were no Gov Palin being Gov Palin. Supposedly he is on a charity junket but the things he has been saying have not at all been charitable. CNN did a Q & A. Found two things interesting.

CNN: About Tina Fey and Gov Palin.

CNN: What do you think of Tina Fey's portrayal of Sarah Palin?

Chase: I think it's actually very spot on. ... I think, though, what Tina is saying is -- and she has also admitted it -- "This woman is not a dumb woman, she's a smart woman, so am I, Tina Fey. Neither of us are smart enough to be the president, though."

CNN: So having said that, what do you think then the impact is? You touched on your impact on Ford and his presidency ...

Chase: I think more now then ever the impact is great because of how much larger the impact of the media is generally on people's lives, all sorts of media. ... I mean so there's so many outlets, but people just spend so much of their time in front of their computers and watching television in their computer.

CNN: Is ["SNL's" politics] fair?

Chase: Fair? What do you mean fair? They're an all-purpose comedy show. Of course it's fair, it's satire, it's what it is, and it's fair, if you have your own television show, to give your own opinion. ... They didn't let Barack off the hook a lot either, you know, when they said, "Is there anything you would like sir, a little more coffee. ... "

Of course it's fair. I mean really, the whole thing about that show is get the laugh; it always has been, and it always will be.

Opinion yes - but the opinion is consistently against someone and for another. That is not fair in an election. It borders on propaganda. Why Chirs Dodd's appearance for? Because Sen Clinton was getting the press? And asking barry to get some coffee does to even begin to compare to calling Todd Palin and incester. Especially when Barry's only connection to slavery is his ancestors kept slave. What hasn't been said about the Palin family? And the Man Above the Fray stood by and did nothing to stop it. And now he's whining about his wife. Can't have it both ways. Well yes he can. Double standard.
