i was listening the npr (national pinko radio <u+2013> i<u+2019>m a masochist; i just want to be acquainted with the <u+201c>thinking<u+201d> of our friends on the left) this morning, and they were discussion the snl (saturday night liberal) television show. it turns out that this broadcast reaches a pinnacle of listeners every four years, during the political campaigns. recently, i learned, they have been bashing donald trump very heavily, and hilary clinton very lightly, if at all. chevy chase did a series of numbers on gerald ford in similar manner. ronald reagan was also nastily targeted. the issue came up, why didn<u+2019>t snl also use barack obama as the butt of their jokes? the explanation from the <u+201c>experts<u+201d> brought in to this npr show was that he was too <u+201c>cool<u+201d> to spoof, he had no characteristics that humorists could poke fun at, he was too wonderful to parody, etc. i wonder, can anyone think of any other reasons obama was never dragged through the mud like other politicians? i can<u+2019>t think of any. this sounds like god<u+2019>s truth to me. but, enquiring minds want to know. 2:12 pm on october 28, 2016
