SNL finally hits the SENATE

Eight months after the election SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE is finally being represented in halls of our great governmental body.

Chevy Chase is now a United States Senator......I mean Dan...er John....seriously....Mike Myers is now in the Senate....I meant to say Adam Sandler....or Al Franken....or maybe Gilda.

One of those clowns from SNL is now a United States Senator

Funny thing about clowns....sometimes they graduate from Harvard with a degree in Government like Al Franken.

It's not quite like Mr. Smith goes to Washington but it is a compelling story and it gives the Democrats 60 votes in the senate. The last time that happened was during the Carter Administration.

I don't remember but how did that work out?

I suspect that Lorne Michaels feels a special pride this morning knowing that one of his boys has made the big time. I wonder if he will be calling for tickets to the next strategical hearing on ear marking in the senate?

I look forward to the SNL routines in the fall regarding this matter. They should have Al actually do an update from the Senate on a regular basis.

Life inmates art or art inmates life?......it doesn't seem to matter anymore with all the silly reality shows on TV.

And now that a SNL alumnus has joined the Senate it just makes reality even a bit more vague and bit less transparent.

Break a leg Al....and keep em rolling in the aisles.
