In case you didn't see this message from "Rahm Emanuel" (played by Andy Samberg of "Dick in a Box" fame) recorded for Saturday Night Live, but, strangely, unplayed on Saturday's show...
I love when the line between reality and satire gets so thin.... After all, Rahm Emanuel really does talk that way - see the hilariously true RahmFacts for details. And didn't Joe Scarborough just say something like that, at least once, just a few weeks ago?
Yes, he did. And, you know, the only thing that bothers me about the SNL skit is that the language was bleeped out - which was sad - but also funny.
As I said in a blog post about Thom Yorke's song lyrics a few years ago, the bleeping out of "f*ck" in this day and age - actually, in any day and age - is fucking ridiculous.
Goes to show - truth can still be funnier than fiction...
I can't believe they didnt include this in the real show--it's funnier than anything they did except the brilliant Arianna Huffington impression. It's actually kind of funnier with the bleeping than it would be without it, but I agree that the censorship of language is unfortunate, especially in late-night tv. I absolutely love, though, that Scarborough is the only one on MSNBC who has a seven-second delay. Sometimes censorship can be delicious irony.
