In case you missed it: the Alan Grayson comedy hour, ‘Wild Alaskan dingbat’ edition
Alan Grayson: funny always wins
Alan Grayson is a lot of things, including brash, in-your-face, down-to-earth, and funny as hell. RawStory presents his comedy stylings at Sarah Palin’s expense, which could have been a late night monologue. It all started when Palin knocked him during an Orlando appearance (I wonder how much she got paid…) saying she “got to meet quite a few candidates who are lining up in a contested primary who want to take out Alan Grayson” and adding: “what can you say about Alan Grayson? Piper is with me tonight, so I won’t say anything about Alan Grayson that can’t be said around children.” Badum-bum! Any of you folks from out of town? Grayson’s reply was much funnier: Read more

Meanwhile, Breitbart gets all whiney about it. But since he did say it was “satire,” something Rush didn’t do, doesn’t sister Sarah now have to come to Colbert’s defense? Otherwise, wouldn’t that make her a double-dip hypocrite?

In case you missed it: Al Gore brings the funny
Gore’s appearance on SNL was great. Here he is giving his “plan B” if his push for renewed attention to climate change doesn’t work: the upshot — arming trees with toy guns. Watch:
This guy is hilarious!
You can’t make this stuff up: teabaggers have their own rapper
Move over Michael Steele. Make way for Hi Caliber.
When you finally stop laughing, read more about Brother Caliber (or should we call him Vanilla Spice? FillaBusta Rhymes? or maybe Dumbinem…?) at TPMDC. Oh, and a quick note to Caliber: if you’re going to associate yourself with the teabaggers, you might want to drop the line “wave ‘em around like you just don’t care.” Just a thought.
SNL skit tweaks the wrong Fox anchor
The skit this Saturday ripping Fox News would have been funnier had they not chosen the one Fox News man who really is fair and balanced — Shep Smith — to include in the skit. What — no Bret Baer impersonators available? Kristen Wiig was great as a ridiculously Botoxed Greta though, and the Glenn Beck was dead on. Watch:

For President Obama, all and nothing
SNL’s opening skit this weekend delighted right wingers who have been moping that the entertainment world refuses to go after President Obama, whom they see as a combination Marxist/Fascist/Socialist usurper who used ACORN to steal the last election (by like, 200 electoral votes, but who’s counting?) (By the way, the right wing stumper of the day has got to be from Newsweek’s Johnathan Meecham, who said this morning on “Morning Joe”: “it’s kind of hard to be a socialist and a fascist at the same time.” . Amen. And a tip of the hat will go to any right winger who can explain that quote to me in your own words without using Wikipedia. Spoiler alert: the answer will make your next tea party sign making tailgate much more complicated…) Back to SNL, which skewered the president, and without their realizing it (again) those same wingers, by making hash out of their contention that he has somehow steamrolled through the fields of capitalism, laying waste to the America they once knew. Instead, SNL portrayed Obama as having done a whoooole lot less than that. Watch:
Now to be fair, it hasn’t even been a year, and it’s going to take a hell of a lot longer than ten months to clean up the devastating mess left behind by our worst president ever, Mr. Bush, but the skit was funny, in that it made a fundamental point: those of you who think the president has done too much can’t have it both ways. At the same time, the White House should take to heart the underlying message of the satire: that the biggest danger to Barack Obama’s presidency may not be overreach. It might be timidity.
