Tonight on NBC at 8:00 PM Eastern, NBC aired a Saturday Night Live special. They opened with a biting and brutal attack on Joe Wilson. This was awesomely funny. Can't wait until the video hits the net. I'm describing the skit from memory.
The skit was set five minutes before the Obama speech. All of the Republicans have gathered together behind the scenes and are reviewing the speech. They decide that when Obama gets to the immigration part, that ALL OF THEM are going to scream "You lie!" together in unison. :)
Then Michelle Bachman (an actress I mean) steps forth and says something I can't quite remember, but it was nutty and included the word 'muslim'. The rest of the Republicans say, no, that's not a good idea (she's too crazy for them!).
Then Joe Wilson goes to the restroom. At this point, all of the Republicans get nervous and decide to call off the screaming. :)
Then they cut to an outside shot of the Capitol and you hear Joe Wilson scream at the President. The skit then continues after the speech with the same Republicans gathered together.
This is where it gets even funnier. They ask Joe where he's from. He says South Carolina and they all moan! Ha! Then one of the Republicans says that's not the worst possible answer because Mississippi would be the worst.
If I remember right, Joe starts whining because he says he's now going to be remembered for this when up until now everyone knows he wouldn't be remembered for anything! :)
They then try to support Joe and ask what he has done in the past. He mentions the Confederate Flag thing and they all moan again!
Sorry, I can't remember the rest but it was very funny. I suppose it will be up on Hulu at some point.
Update: And here is a link to the video on Hulu:
