Washington Post “Fact-Checks” An SNL Skit

Monday, November 24th, 2014

You know that Saturday Night Live Schoolhouse Rock parody I put up yesterday?

The Washington Post actually put up fact-checking piece on it.

Hey, remember all those times the Washington Post fact-checked SNL skits of George W. Bush and Sarah Palin?

Me neither.

Twitchy had a field day.

Other important Washington Post fact-checks:

The lengths to which Obama’s media praetorian guard will go to protect him are officially beyond parody.

Who needs all that tedious Bill-wrangling on Capitol Hill when you can just issue an Executive Order?

I’m Gonna Get Me A Shotgun And Kill All the Whiteys That I See!

Ayo Kimathi is an employee at the Department of Homeland Security. His job description? Purchasing ammunition and weapons. He’s also the owner of waronthehorizon.com, a website dedicated to advocating the murder of white people.”

The cherry on top? “He’s also a homophobe.”

This was on a lot of blogs last week, but I’m linking to it now so I can embed this classic SNL video of Garrett Morris singing “I’m Gonna Get Me A Shotgun And Kill All the Whiteys That I See!”, which I think embodies the spirit of Kimathi’s website.

Catchy little ditty, isn’t it?

A few links of potential interest:

  • “Candygram.”
  • Al-Zarqawi complains about his new roommate.
  • Cracks in the Eurozone. Deficits have consequences.
  • “Each hid his homosexuality, each was racist, each took pains to manufacture favorable coverage, each was driven by petty hatreds instead of shining ideals.” Who’s that? Would you believe Gandhi and Malcolm X?
  • I don’t know why people think the SEIU is a communist organization. I mean, it’s not like they held a parade with the communist party and marched with pro-communist signs. Wait, what?
  • I’m in favor of allowing concealed carry in more place, but not extending that expanded right only to state government employees. That’s like letting legislators drive 10 mile and hour faster than the speed limit because its “convenient.” If this bill was for all CHL holders, I’d be for it, but it’s not. Evidently some animals are more equal than others.
