SNL’s Really!?! Segment on Blagojovich
- Entertainment -
I must give kudos to the SNL folks for going to town on the disgraced Illinois governor, Rod Blagojovich, in their “Really!?!” segment on Saturday. It came off like an old “joanin’” battle back in the day when two kids would go back and forth making fun of each other. Only with Amy Poehler (one of my favorites) and Seth Meyers, it’s a double-team on a man who — if all evidence and witness accounts turn out to be true — is as disgraceful an elected official can possibly come.
Seth Meyers:
“And when Illinois politicians think you’re too corrupt, you’re too corrupt! That’s like Amy Winehouse telling you to go to rehab. Really!”
Amy Poehler:
“It’s 2008, did you not know people tap phones? Really!?! You’ve never seen a TV show or a film? When you’re doing something illegal, you need to speak in code. When I call up my weed dealer and I ask for $50 worth of circus tickets, you know what he doesn’t give me? Circus tickets!”
