Well that's the thing Wolf, people aren't in the mood for satire from politicians. Especially Republicans. This is even coming from their own party members. They want answers and leadership. But you're right, had this been SNL it wouldn't be a problem. I will say this about comparing Chip's actions to SNL - SNL is equal opportunity. They slam Republicans, Democrats, black, white, female, whatever. S

The thing is the country just finished with a bitterly faught election, from both sides, and most Americans want to move forward. It probably doesn't help that Barack's ratings are through the roof either.
