SNL opening skit on Immigration didn't make sense and wasn't funny. [View all]

Reminds me of Tweety when, just when you think he has seen the light, he switches over to the evil side.

Last night they did a thing on the Immigration Executive Order and had Kenan Thompson dressed up like he was the Senate Bill that has been lying around for months waiting for the House to act on it. SNL portrayed it as if it was Obama that was holding it up these many months as, in the skit, he kept kicking it down the stairs. It would crawl back up to him and he would kick it away again. That doesn't even make sense and isn't accurate and it wasn't funny. Don't the writers know what's going on?

Every few weeks I guess SNL has to give the Dems a kick to show the Thugs they are impartial?? I hate that.
