I made the mistake of watching Saturday Night Live last night thinking that Ben Affleck and John McCain on the same show might be funny.
It wasn’t, and I had to sit through an incredibly unimaginative pelting of McCain’s fear mongering commercials to find out.
In the middle of it, I see Richard Nixon. And Elvis. And an old photo of Bill Cochran smoking a cigarette. Apparently, I was supposed to be outraged that taxes have been raised since 1974 and believe that dead people are somehow forced to write checks posthumously to pay them.
Recognizing the text and images as the same tripe that’s been stacked in my mailbox lately, the only outrage I felt was directed at the state Republican party for not honoring Ed Clere’s request to stop the insulting cannonade.
Then I saw “Paid for by www.edclere.com” at the bottom of the screen. And that wasn’t funny, either.
