Hillary Plays Val The Bartender With Drunk Hillary


UPDATED: This must be a product of the free coaching lessons Hollywood filmmaker Steven Spielberg provided to Hillary Clinton to make her appear "warmer" and "more likable." In a comedy sketch during last night's SNL show on NBC, a drunken Hillary played by Miley Cyrus Kate McKinnon is saddled up to a bar downing vodka in an Irish pub while she's served by a lesbian bar tender named Val played by Clinton. Perhaps this is an attempt to poke fun of tabloid reports that have rumored Clinton has developed a bad drinking problem in recent years. Miley Cyrus also had a bit part in the sketch expressing support for Donald Trump because he says whatever he wants.

The Clinton character played by Cyrus tried to explain that first she's a grandmother and second she's a human. Val deadpans, "Oh, you're a politician." Drunk Hillary agrees with Val that she's against the Keystone Pipeline because it will destroy our environment, although she admits it took her a long time to decide her position like her belated supported of gay marriage, even though the SNL sketch inserts a patron stopping by to thank her for her all she's done for gay marriage. Val assures Clinton it's all right to take your time as long as you get it right. Drunk Hillary gets a rise out of the idea of running against Donald Trump, who she says she will destroy and mount his hair in the Oval Office. Bill played by Darrell Hammond makes a brief appearance to say, "Oh my God, they're multiplying" before fleeing the bar.

The continued blurring of the lines between the role of our elected officials in Washington and Hollywood may be entertaining to many Americans, but to more discerning Americans it's a reminder of a growing inability to ascertain truth from fiction as it relates to the official business of our government. Washington has become little more than a giant stage where events are acted out as our elected officials become further and further disconnected from the people they are elected to govern. Everything is now scripted. Those in search of reality and the truth are left wanting.

Ralph Nader has an interesting take on the media coverage of the 2016 presidential race. He obviously supports Bernie Sanders candidacy.

This is good gig for Hillary, her whole campaign is a script and act - Do I lean left today or Right. Do I smile, do I look concerned. Did I look warm and fuzzy?? Did they have the que cards that let the audience know when to laugh or applaud. A Kartrasian would have been a fitting back drop.

Bernie Sanders drew 20,000 plus in Boston at a real live rally. However, the Bernie Blackout continues on the McMega-Media. Bernie is running on issues and talking about them. Running for political office has always had a bit of the "Stage" in it. The McMega-Media today is all about "reporting" what will garner the highest ratings. CNN, MSNBC, and Fox, are phony reality shows masquerading as News.

You bring up a good point about Sanders' campaign. It deserves far more coverage than it has been afforded to date by the lamestream media. By comparison, Donald Trump's campaign has received more coverage than all of the other Republican candidates combined. While Trump is raising some valid issues, it's more about the entertainment value derived from covering him than the substance.

Mr. Welsh is right about the DC entertainment pretense. The scary problem is they don't care. We didn't hire / elect them to be low grade, pathetic distractions from the few but legitimate affairs of state.

Nit: GE sold the NBC network to Comcast. The Comcast sign went up on 30 Rock this past fall replacing the GE sign.

Thanks, Mike. It's hard to keep track of who owns which media company. They're always changing ownership.

Guess we'll have to 'blame' Nixon for this one. Sock it to me? Lighten up - would rather view a bit of comedy than the vile bile they spew in House interrogations.

Josh said...

Yeah, we want a fun Hillary with fun camps! And no more vile bile House interrogations!


What difference does it make?

She sent the ambassador there and then refused to provide him security even after several requests. I wonder if she went to bed like 0bama did while Stevens and his security team was being murdered?

The glittery side of politics is nothing new. It's now more pronounced than years ago when there were only 3 major networks covering all the crap.
