U.S. Senators Lindsey Graham (RINO-SC) and Tim Scott (R-SC) were mocked by Saturday Night Live last weekend for their excessive fawning over Israel. And while the skit never aired on television (it was reportedly pulled three hours before the show aired), neo-conservatives still have their panties in a wad over a dress rehearsal version which was posted to the internet.
In the skit Graham and Scott (portrayed by Bill Hader and Kenan Thompson) pepper U.S. Sen. Chuck Hagel (portrayed by Jason Sudekis) over his allegiance to the Jewish State – demanding to know why he doesn’t share their unconditional love of Israel.
“The subject of Israel is a very emotional one for me,” the faux-Scott remarks. “As an African-American Republican from South Carolina, love of Israel is in my blood … (tearing up) I’m sorry, I just love that little country so much.”
Enjoy …

Later in the skit, neocon leader U.S. Sen. John McCain demands to know whether Hagel would “go on national television … and perform oral sex on a donkey” in order to ensure the survival of Israel.
When Hagel says “I don’t think so,” the faux-McCain responds “then, I regret to say Senator, I cannot support your confirmation.”
At that point, the faux Scott interrupts, “Hey, I’d do it for Israel – bring me the donkey!”
And Graham adds, “for Israel I’d do it in a second, but then again I grew up on a farm.”
Ha!

Neither. I lost interest about 90 seconds into the skit. Probably why I stopped watching SNL.

Barney Flit is sorely missed, but SNL seems to enjoy fellating donkeys and leaving political correct indulgence to grace sainted leftists

“highly offensive” or “hugely entertaining”? No option for “Slow meandering drag of a sketch”?

While I agree with Senator’s Graham, Scott, and McCain on Israel, it is important to remember that this is late night comedy. People need to realize that and enjoy the skit. I found it entertaining. If you can’t make fun of yourself from time to time, then you are taking yourself way too seriously.

Missing a poll option. It was not very funny. Nor was it particularly offensive.

Choking Back Tears, N.R.A. Leader Marries Gun
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) — In what he called “the happiest day of my life,” National Rifle Association C.E.O. Wayne LaPierre marked Valentine’s Day by marrying his
longtime gun, an AK-47 assault rifle.
Mr. LaPierre grew emotional as he reminisced about meeting the firearm at a gun show in Alabama in 1991.
“The chemistry between us was amazing,” he said. “Our first weekend together, all we did was shoot.”
Marriage between a human and a gun is not legal in most states, a situation that Mr. LaPierre bemoans: “For a lot of N.R.A. members it’s the only intimate relationship they’re capable of.”
The wedding ceremony was attended by twenty-five of Mr. LaPierre’s guns and over two hundred members of Congress.

So this skit gets pulled 3 hours before airing on SNL, and there are still those who deny the existence of an Israel Lobby who wield unmatched power in both our media and government? The only reason neo-cons like Graham and Scott give a damn about Israel is the $3.5 billion in taxpayer subsidies their defense contractor contributors get from the Israeli government because our aid to Israel is shoestringed to purchasing weapons from US firms. Israel is one of the wealthiest nations on Earth, why in the hell do we need to sacrifice our blood and our money to keep them safe, when they can do it themselves? Do the Israelis send troops to our border with Mexico to help us fight the cartels? Hell no, because unlike us, they’re not that stupid.
