"I mean, what did you think those emails said? 'Hi, it's Hillary, I really screwed up on Benghazi today'? Please."
I watched the whole thing. Didn't laugh. Well, at least SNL is trying to mock Hillary. Or gently kid or whatever. I'm not familiar enough with the cast member Kate McKinnon to know if she has it in her to be truly cutting and cruel. But this was a puff piece.

Yep, it was an effort to brush past the issue. Both Clintons have left a trail of slime all the way from Little Rock. She's unfit for office.
Obama may be reluctant to go full dictator, but Hillary won't.
"...Hillary Clinton goes down?"
I'll just wait to Laslo is finished.
The media are active participants in politics. If this would have been Dick Cheney they would have ripped him a new asshole.
This is liberals way of saying "see, we will bash liberals" so you people stop complaining. Move on, move on!
"...Hillary Clinton goes down?"
Well, something's going down anyway.
Do you think Obama rules will work to knock down any criticism of Hillary?
I am thinking no. Obama has a winning smile for one thing. Obama has a good voice. Obama is black.
Lame. Really bad impersonation, the only part that looked right was the outfit.
What's with the scratchy thing during her wave? Hillary points and does that huge open-mouthed smile thing that is supposed to look like surprise. Voice not nasal, no cackle - I don't think she tried very hard to make herself believable as Clinton.
Probably scared to be too accurate.
If Hillary is happy with that, she really does have the tin ear everybody claims she does.
I wonder if she'll get same plea bargain deal as General Petraeus. Be interesting to compare the degree of compromise. Madame Secretary uses a certain-to-have-been compromised email server to inform the Russians and Chinese not only about U.S. secrets, but provide them a vehicle to blackmail her during the most sensitive of negotiations, the other has indiscrete pillow talk in the manner of a man who is thinking from regions not above his shoulders - with not-an-agent of a foreign government who when a military officer was cleared for top secret information.
The only way to keep from being blackmailed is to simply publish it all, every message that ever lived or was backed up off of that server. Will await for the proverbial warm day. Or perhaps we should ask Mr. Putin for his copy.
Plea deal? From whom?
We'll never see an Obama DOJ indict her.
Never.
I don't think Hillary herself has given them enough material to work with. The emails could have been a fun scandal to parody, but Hillary has stayed pretty quiet. If she does more public speaking, we'll see if SNL is serious.
The Democrats are in trouble. There is no way Hillary can face an honest reporter (there are a few still out there) or a debate opponent, even with Crowley there to help her. Not even the MSM is going to be able to drag this dead horse across the finish line.
How many attacks are there on an email server siting in a private home on a fixed IP?
Heatbleed comes to mind right away. That was known about by governments long before we plebes found out about it.
You have the resources of a government, and a single server to attack, a server that is basically maintained by a hobbyist at best. How long before you break in?
Her password was probably Hillary2016

Not so sure Clinton's server was in her home.
Have a look at this:
http://andstillipersist.com/2015/03/where-is-or-was-the-clinton-e-mail-server/
I am sure Lois Lerner would have liked to have had an email server where, when she deleted an email, it stayed deleted.
It would be funny if it came out that the server was in her closet, like the subpoenaed billing records.

Questions for HRC that Press should ask:
1. Using your personal (non-govt) email, did you correspond with foreign diplomats on security issues? If so, how does your personal email access classified information?
2. How did you access classified email for your day to day work? Did your staff forward these from their govt. account to your personal account so that you are informed about international events, such as Benghazi?
3. In your book, Hard Choices, you wrote that you focused on cybersecurity issues for America. Please elaborate how your work has prepared you to deal with emergency cyber threats facing America today and tomorrow?
We just have to trust the Clintons.
Hillary Clinton will not be asked challenging questions about anything, her personal secret email server in particular.
We will never know the facts.
Bob Boyd, there was an excellent analysis of the history of the domain IP which has unfortunately been deleted, on an earlier thread here. It was on the Rosemary Woods thread. It indicated that the mail server was pointing to a fixed IP provided by a local NYC area ISP, which in turn points to the server not being hosted by a locked down professional site.
Not sure why the comment was deleted, It was great, and did a better analysis, IMHO, than your link.
The only question is if she is drunk while she pens the letter she isn't running for president or sober. She is just sucking up donations now.

Are you talking about something I deleted or something the author of the comment deleted? I don't remember what you're talking about. There are a couple commenters that I always delete, without reading them, and I also delete comments that repeat the name of such commenters. So that could be a reason for the comment to disappear and for me to have no idea of the substance of the comment.
Note to commenters who find themselves always deleted: You can never get back on my good side here, no matter what you write. If you think some comments sometimes get through, it is only ever because we don't see them. We never read them, and you are never wanted here. Find something else to do.
@Althouse, or everybody can just go read "Wired".
They just made fun of her for wanting the Presidency and then saying she could not decide whether to run or not. Ha, Ha, Ha, that's so funny, I guess.
This won't stop her from running.
Obama stopped her the first time. Took away from her what is rightfully hers and Bills.
Nothing will stop her. Not scandals, not a lack of votes, nothing.

That is really all you need to do, besides pointing the DNS (esp. MX) records at the site, configuring any firewalls to allow incoming access on the specified port, and then running an email server program. And, yes, configuring that program to provide whatever email addresses/accounts as you wish. Not rocket science, and probably under an hour's work for an IT person, after you got the dedicated IP address.
The reason for the dedicated IP address is, of course, that you need something concrete to point at in the DNS records. So, that when someone wants to email to her, that static IP address is looked up in your DNS server, and then a SMTP connection can be made between your email server and that one on the standard SMTP port.
One more thing - most IP addresses these days are dynamic. That means that they are assigned by some upstream server dynamically. This is because there are not nearly enough to go around, esp. since early adopters got large chunks of them (One of my previous employers had sever Class B addresses (16 bits of addressing), and we used one of them for fewer than a thousand employees). And, making things even more expandable, most often, the router you are using will allocate non-routing IP addresses (which are what you mostly see these days) for each device you attach to it, multiplexing them transparently upstream (my cable router has maybe 6 dynamic IP addresses assigned). This can, and does some times, work recursively, through several levels of routers.
But, this really only works when you are initiating sessions from your end, and not from another server. In that case, you need to have a static IP address, which, as noted above, is tied to the domain name, etc. through Domain Name Service (DNS) records. And, I forgot to note that static IP addresses need to be passed through all levels of upstream routers untouched and unmultiplexed in order for this to work.
I thought that the SNL skit was funny. Much funnier than a lot of their more politically correct stuff is these days (and has been for several decades).
I do think that some on the left must be out to take Hillary! down. SNL has never operated in a political vacuum, and one of the big things that has protected Obama so well for the last 7 or so years is that laughing at him has been politically incorrect. Which is why most comics steer away from anything that would provoke a laugh at his expense. Yet, here we were encouraged to laugh at this old woman with overwhelming ambition, a strained marriage, low to non-existent ethics, etc. This skit essentially says that Hillary! is fair game.
The skit skirted around the email issue, I guess because most people don't really get why this is a big deal (anyone understanding the purpose of the requirement that government business be done exclusively on government servers--FOIA, security concerns, accountability--gets why what she did is troubling). But the impression is a bit damaging, because unlike the old Bill Clinton impressions (which portrayed that creep as a fun rascal) the Hillary laugh McKinnon kept using emphasized her strangeness. Ultimately, a lot of liberals are going to have trouble liking her, and would only support her by default.
