Harris's video at Al Smith Dinner (Original Post) brettdale Oct 2024 OP
The SNL Mary Katherine bit was terribly lame Zorro Oct 2024 #1
I thought it was better than Harris just making jokes -- Mary Catherine gave her a foil to make a few barbed comments. LauraInLA Oct 2024 #7

I actually thought it was cute and sweet and much like the speeches are supposed to be. LauraInLA Oct 2024 #5
My first thought was, that they really know their audience, in that only old(er) people would even remember Mary C. LauraInLA Oct 2024 #8
I thought it was lame too, but I never found Mary Catherine Gallagher a funny bit back in the day either. Music Man Oct 2024 #9
Yup. He claimed Kamala would have come it they donated to BLM rioters. SunSeeker Oct 2024 #13
My first view of this event - it needs to be abolished. Catholics roasting "cutely" ain't a thing. UTUSN Oct 2024 #10

Probably better than her trying to do a monologue via video, though.

It is what it is. No one votes based on these things. And Donald Trump looked like a huge asshole as usual.

GAFFIGAN rubbed my last nerve raw the umpteen times he called Drumpf "president," and fairly much kissed his ass throughout.

Seeing Kamala's not taking bait in antagonistic interviews makes the strong perception that cheap shots are beneath her. Repeating this event needs to be relegated to the bin. Drumpf was given 3 or 4 times more time than the comedian and certainly Kamala's video.

*** Well, the wives appeared to be doing hunky dory - Melaloonia and KENNEDY Jr's. I realize the latter is said to be a decent sort and might be considering divorce (Catholic divorces have been O.K. for the rich) and that she needed to support Jr at his mother's death. Meloonia, however, didn't seem to be acting with her beaming.

I love roasts in the show biz sense, but this one gave me the ick.

In 1996, the Archdiocese of New York decided not to invite then-President Bill Clinton and his Republican challenger, Bob Dole, reportedly because Clinton vetoed a late-term abortion ban.

Fuck the Archidiocese. They should concentrate on making sure priests aren't raping kids.
