Letter to SNL Boss Lorne Michaels
Bart!

Palin on SNL!!
Post his address for comments to him!
lorne@lornemichaels.com
This was my comment....
Dear Mr. Michaels,
I turn 54 this month. I still watch SNL.
My kids watch SNL, I think my grandkids watch
SNL.
In '77 I had a lot more hair, Led Zepplin cassettes
were all over the inside of my VW Beetle,
I played in a successful bar band while attending
Indiana University and I watched SNL every
Saturday night with a lot of friends while burning
a few and drinking a few.
Hell... I still think John Belushi 'borrowed'
our two white guys playing the Blues in Calumet City act.
He lived just down the road from Cal City when
we'd run onstage at black clubs for a quick song....
I was the skinny guy in the too small suit that
played blues harp. That was in 1972..... 1972.
Anyway....
Remember Rowan and Martin's Laugh In episode
when Dick Nixon showed up on the set in the
Presidential Limo for his four words?
That TV quickie could have been written by Karl
Rove as it propelled Nixon's popularity through
the stratosphere and we both know what Dick was
doing for the next four years after that "Sock it to me?" line.
So... I ask you this Mr. Michaels: Do you want
to keep the ratings where they are with Tina Fey's
impersonation or do you want to cease being cool
by having that insane woman appear on SNL?
She isn't even remotely funny and I know that
I would not be the only 19-60 year old demographic
representative to feel that SNL really blows
and tune out the entire show. We would hurl if we saw
that religiously insane nutbag on SNL.
Hey... you WILL get plenty of Rush Limbaugh and
Bill O'Reilly fans and if you are really lucky
maybe you can get some of Palin's fans to show
up in your studio audience. You know, the ones
that have the habit of screaming "KILL HIM" when
Senator Obama's name is mentioned?
Wow, whadda laugh that would be, eh?
Maybe in the following weeks you can get a few
KKK members to guest star on your show?
Maybe a lynching skit?
Your programming will be all the answer I need
from you.....
P.S. : Would you sleep if you knew Sarah Palin
had THE Launch Codes?
Sincerely,
RDS
