B**ch is the New Black



This week's Saturday Night Live was hilarious, with Tina Fey, Saturday Night Live's former head writer, giving a scathing, and smart attack on the media's blatant favoritism of Barack Obama over superior presidential candidate (in my opinion) Hillary Clinton.

The opening debate was a mockery of the debate in Texas (which I did not watch because I was in class), with the media giving Hillary impossibly harsh questions, which she could do nothing against but answer in an ingratiating fashion. In contrast, the debate moderator chose "Obama Girl", from the audience to ask Obama a question. "Obama Girl", a real life fan of Obama who admits to having a crush on Obama, serenaded Obama with a sultry, "I have a crush on Obama" song.

So what was the media response to this scathing attack from the late night comedy show? Nothing of course. They will give no positive news regarding Hillary Clinton. A Google search for "Clinton SNL" yielded nothing from the official media. The only sites found were from blogs. When Oprah Winfrey endorses Obama, the major news networks are all over themselves to report the event. However, when Saturday Night Live, which is as famous a TV show as any, endorses Hillary Clinton, there is not a peep.

Speaking of Oprah Winfrey, Tina Fey delivered a funny-as-hell rant fully in support of Hillary, and making fun of Oprah. It was from this rant that I get today's blog title, "B**ch is the New Black".
"And finally, the most important Women’s News item there is, we have our first serious female presidential candidate in Hillary Clinton. And yet, women have come so far as feminists, that they don’t feel obligated to vote for a candidate just because she’s a woman. Women today feel perfectly free to make whatever choice Oprah tells them to.

And maybe what bothers me the most is that people say that Hillary is a bitch. And let me say something about that: yeah, she is, and so am I. And so is this one (pointing at Amy Poehler). And you know what, bitches get stuff done. That’s why Catholic schools use nuns as teachers and not priests. Those nuns are mean old clams, and they sleep on cots and are allowed to hit you. And at the end of the school year, you hated those bitches, but you knew the capital of Vermont. So, I’m saying it’s not too late Texas and Ohio. Get on board. Bitch is the new black!"
