1. Amen.

47. The end is in sight. The internal struggle will destroy and discredit the Republican hate machine.

The Republicans welcomed the hatred spewed by the disseminators of hatred and division that has led them down a dark dead end with no escape. It is either capitulation as expressed by Romney and severance with the hate brigade and the death of the party. But. regardless of the choice the present Republican Party days are numbered. If Trump survives and runs in 2020 their party will be split, crash and burn. The writing is on the wall. There is no escape for their embrace of evil. Good riddance to an evil, corrupt, unlawful enterprise that is a cancer eating at the very foundations upon with this nation was built. Let them eat each other alive in fevered madness like the ghouls they have become. The end of the tragedy they have visited on our nation can not be soon enough for real patriotic Americans who stand for Life, Liberty and Happiness and most importantly justice for all mankind regardless of birth, color, ethnicity, religion and sex.

2. Jane, you ignorant slut...

Sorry, I heard it in my head.

Kidding aside, the snowball of resistance is rolling along.

31. Johnny you ignorant slut

Love you buddy.

Think about how insightful that segment was. Opinion was at the end of a newscast and was labeled as much. The Fairness Doctrine was still in effect. The right opened up - after Nixon - with personal attacks which Danny portrayed perfectly. Curtain was seen by the cast, as I have read, as the stodgy conservative and that was pretty much pointed right at her. She's had it. The tide has turned.

44. No one has matched the intensity of that pairing.

Those who have followed as Weekend Update anchors have been creative and entertaining, and their satire is often spot on, but no one since Dan Akroyd and Jane Curtin played off one other has there been such a strong acrimony between anchors.

In real life the only equivalent was when ABC teamed Barbara Walters with Harry Reasoner (which I thought was a great name for a journalist). He detested her, both as a journalist and as someone who was making a lot more than he was. He slammed her at least once every show.

3. A NY resolution to keep.

[FakeNoose]

4. Wow - love this!

Happy New Year Jane Curtin

[MagickMuffin]

5. I've got the stakes and silver bullets if that will help

bring about their demise any faster.

20. And I can spot people a crucifix if they need one.

39. You two throw in garlic necklaces, then I am there.

In my best vampire/werewolf fighting suit.

6. Amen! :)

7. The fascist, racist, terrorist republican party must end. nt

8. My new year's resolution is to be the killer.....

10. Jane Curtin is a national treasure.

11. Alas! Even if the name dies, there will always be the two sides.

Alas! Even if the name dies, there will always be the two sides.

13. She never imagined Irwin Mainway would be elected president.

22. That is a deity level reference

Well done

14. Cue the outrage.

Can't wait to see the right-wingers explode on this.

[Augiedog]

15. Drown it in an outhouse

[Hermit-The-Prog]

23. that would be Republican rapture

It'd be like calling them home.

[Texin]

16. I too want them dead. Eradicated. Unfortunately, the fascism, racism, misogyny never will.

Like every two bit con artist, they'll just regroup, move on and pull another alias out of this asses.

They should call themselves The Kleptocrats. No, I guess the 'crat' part is too like their political adversaries. Maybe Kleptocons?

[calimary]

17. Mine too! A patriotic duty, by now, actually.

[Honeycombe8]

18. Not gonna happen. The ideology that is the Republican Party is here to stay.

It's not the Party that is the problem. It's the way they view things. For us on the left, too. These things don't change, except gradually over time. Over generations. But we can hopefully keep them out of office.

21. I miss her. Where'd she go?

[cp]

24. Wonderful to hear that in her inimitable voice!

Prion disease in its terminal stage with the Republicans (thanks to Charles S. Pierce for the prion reference, so true).

34. Have you read Tom Davis's autobiography?

I'd highly recommend it. He was dying and he knew it so he let it all out. Some funny stories about Frankn (and one really sad one) as well as Aykroyd and Jerry Garcia stories.

[no_hypocrisy]

36. I did read it, maybe 7 or 8 years ago.

Great writing, great stories.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

41. Sure love that pic

Who’d have imagined, back then?

[Polybius]

43. Wow, that hair!

I always wished that I had curly hair, rather than pin-straight.

[True Blue American]

46. Be careful what you wish for

Curly hair has a mind of it’s own. No matter how you try to style it.

[cstanleytech]

35. Now thats a resolution I could almost fully support but really its not the party its the people

in it and in our history those people have migrated from party to party and thats what they will do if the Repugnant party should actually die.

[Blue_true]

40. Exactly.

The rock solid base of the modern Republican Party are the old dixiecrats, the people that still worship the confederacy and treason. Until their children and grandchildren totally reject that worship and treat each non White person as a unique individual, change will not happen.

[BigmanPigman]

37. I vote for her.

[Blue_true]

38. She is right.

The country has a big problem with the modern Republican Party being in the picture. We are better off as a country when that party no longer exists.

42. I never missed 1st generation SNL
