Mike Huckabee made his appearance on Saturday Night Live, but it was Hillary Clinton who received an SNL endorsement. Huckabee learned that he didn’t have any chance of getting any of the super delegates since only the Democrats do that, and then he was a bit slow to leave the set. It was a funny bit, but I bet John McCain doesn’t see the humor in it. Tina Fey made the most political noise on SNL last night though, by throwing her support behind Hillary Clinton. In a segment inside the “Weekend Update,” Fey celebrated women by saying, “And finally, in probably the most important women’s news item there is, we have our first serious, female presidential candidate in Hillary Clinton. And yet, women have come so far as feminists that they don’t feel obligated to vote for a candidate just because she’s a woman. Women today feel perfectly free to make whatever choice Oprah tells them to.” Then she looks into the question of why people are abandoning Clinton for Obama. Fey seems to think having both Hillary and Bill Clinton in the White House is good thing, kind of like Starsky and Hutch was. Fey then questions the “scrutiny of her physical appearance,” by saying, “Rush Limbaugh, the Jeff Conaway of right-wing radio, said that he doesn’t think America is ready to watch their president “turn into an old lady in front of them.†Really? They didn’t seem to mind when Ronald Reagan did that?” Then she gets to the clincher of why Clinton would be such a good President. Because she is a bitch. Fey explains, “And maybe what bothers me the most is that people say that Hillary is a bitch. And let me say something about that: yeah, she is, and so am I. And so is this one (pointing at co-host Amy Poehler who agrees). And you know what, bitches get stuff done. That’s why Catholic schools use nuns as teachers and not priests. Those nuns are mean old clams, and they sleep on cots and are allowed to hit you. And at the end of the school year, you hated those bitches, but you knew the capital of Vermont. So, I’m saying it’s not too late Texas and Ohio. Get on board. Bitch is the new black!”

This was the funniest thing I’ve seen in this election.
