Hillary Detours to Saturday Night Live
Hillary Clinton made a mysterious disappearance from her campaign plane Saturday -- and turned up a few hours later on Saturday Night Live.
All last week, Clinton and her campaign talked about a Saturday Night Live skit showing reporters fawning all over her opponent Barack Obama -- a frequent complaint of Clinton's in real life. So when SNL did a second fake-debate skit last night, the real Clinton appeared immediately afterward for an "editorial response." Watch it here.
The sketch, she said, “wasn’t an endorsement of one candidate over another. I can say this confidently because when I asked if I could take it as an endorsement, I was told, ’Absolutely not.’ But I still enjoyed that sketch a great deal because I simply adore Amy’s impression of me.”
Amy Poehler, who plays Clinton on the show, asked her how the campaign was going. “The campaign is going very well. Very, very well. Why, what have you heard?” Clinton said.
Later in the show, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani appeared on the "Weekend Update" segment - and blamed his campaign's failure on the fact that he dressed in drag on a 1997 episode of the show. See it here.
This isn't Clinton's last late-night TV foray before Tuesday's primaries that could decide the fate of her campaign. She is scheduled to appear on Comedy Central’s “The Daily
Show with Jon Stewart” Monday.

I believe President Ford was on the show in 1976, then SNL was a show today it is garbage, they have no writers or talent. the only think keeping it going is PRIDE. it should have been put to rest a long time ago. With that said it did not help FORD and it won't help HILLARY SOPRANO. She is DEAD and she does not know it.
As for RUDY, he still thinks he is a BIG SHOT. he had his 5 minutes of GLORY. He listen to his "BRAIN TRUST" they told him he had CLOTHES. BUT IN THE END HE HAD NONE. Ron Paul has more delegates then him. He went thru 60 Million Dollars and all he has to show for it is..........................
