"Saturday Night Live" collaborates with Nikki Haley and it's embarrassing.

Even the Trump impersonator guy is off:

Will "I see dead people" earn a visit from the Secret Service? Or is it suitably nonthreatening to passively gaze at old people and visualize them at the end of a natural life span?

this counts as a campaign contribution.. right? i mean Right? Free Air time, for political ads/

If SNL is mocking it is because Democrats believe it helps Democrats. It has become that tired and predictable. The fact this one involves a Republican as protagonist means we'll have to endure their claims of nonpartisan...

Nice of them to give Nikki a shout out on her way off the 2024 Presidential stage, though...

Past Donald’s bedtime? Geezus, the lady doesn’t know that Trump famously sleeps so little that some of most ridiculous, unhinged tweets (or whatever they’re called now on his platform) come at 3 am.

I see dead people when Neocon Nikki talks about her foreign policy.

John henry said...

When I "I see dead people" my immediate first thought was "I see dead people voting"

I was happy to see that even superwoke snl was recognizing the problems with voting in the upper 50.

I was disappointed to read further and see that it was about age.

C'mon folks, start voting like Puerto Ricans. Honest, trustworthy, elections will make you feel better.

It certainly seems like people tend to live up to the names Trump bestows upon them.

Like Bird Brain.

What came across was her unflinching ability to parrot lines written for her by Democrat partisans.

Haley is auditioning for a regular paid spot somewhere in the mainstream media. She knows there is no future for her in actual political office. This is the Joe Scarborough path to financial success- just whore yourself out to people who actually despise you behind your back.

Talk about yer projection.

She's the dead (wo)man walking.

This is an excellent point. Inadvertently it depicts Nikki as kind of out of touch with reality...

So true. Even Hillary— Beautiful Hillary.

Joe said...

I see Joe Biden sniffing Nikki.

Mary Beth said...

"Nikki Tikki Tavi". Wow, that's an interesting name SNL came up with. I thought Kipling was too White Man's Burden-y to reference anymore.

gilbar said...

Let's Talk About REAL ISSUES!!
WHY aren't Samoans granted American Citizenship? Is it fat phobia??

Let's Fix This Problem! Let's Fix it NOW!
Let's incorporate this unincorporated territory into one of our existing incorporated territories.
Obviously, Samoans DON'T want to be thrown in with Saipan (who would?)..
So let's do, THE OBVIOUS THING.. And attach American Samoa to the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

I can't see ANY problems with this, at at! Poi is just taro, and taro is basically arroz.. Ain't it?

mikee said...

SNL, like Time magazine, offers a weekly insight into conventional New York City liberal opinion, without anyone else having to notice.

JAORE said...

Maybe she and Liz Cheney could run together on a third party ticket.

Nicki holds a slight edge in least irritating category.... so Liz should head the ticket.

I place the over/under at 2,000,000 votes nationwide.

Michael K said...

Even the threat of torture could not get me to watch SNL the past 20 years.

Prof. M. Drout said...

"I see dead people." Wow! I do, too: American soldiers, sailors, marines, civilians, and both the armed forces and the civilians of other countries as well.

All dead because Bill Kristol and the Weekly Standard and many other Neocons thought that it was a 'waste' to have a big, powerful, well-equipped, high-morale U.S. military just sitting around when you could instead use it to do things.

Really, you could accomplish geopolitical goals almost 'cost free,' since 'small wars' would be excellent training for the military. And truly it was 'cost-free' because their own children would never do something so middle/working class as serving in the military.

Tulsi Gabbard's economic ideas (which seemed to be the same as Bernie Sanders') are about as far away from what I think would actually bring prosperity as is possible, but I would support her in a HEARTBEAT over the bloodthirsty dimwit that is Nikki Haley.

"Birdbrain" is right if by bird you mean vulture.

Iman said...

I see a dead campaign.

Christopher B said...

"I see dead people" makes me think of this.

boatbuilder said...

That was very sad. Very, very sad.

(Said with Trump voice).

tim in vermont said...

Remember that time a few weeks ago when a senior producer of SNL was photographed talking privately with Joe Biden on some steps at Camp David?

But I am sure that no coordination is going on.

Leland said...

Isn't she the one that wanted to kill of Hamas? Lots of rhetoric about death and destruction on her campaign. I guess someone could ask her about other issues, such as her stance on slavery? Freedom of expression on the internet?

Tom said...

“I see dead people” cancels out because it’s about Trump and Biden. She’ll get a visit because it was about Biden but she’ll also get an award because it was about Trump.

Of course, Trump, will just say “see you n-a-couple-of Tuesdays” to Haley.

Not only Samoans, what are swain islanders, chopped liver?

Both are us "nationals" but not "citizens" they carry us passports. For all practical purposes (us entry, residency, work) there is no difference except voting, running for office, security clearance and the like.

I don't think I've ever in my life heard a word of sympathy for Swanians

Do better, people

Ralph L said...

Politicians were more tolerable when they weren't trying so hard to be "authentic." What happened to modern handlers and the quest for boring? We must blame Trump for this, as usual, but it's probably due to the social media platform.

John henry said...

Current population os swains Island is 0 and has been for a while.

You can't even visit without permission of the Jennings family who own it lock stock and barrel.

But they do get their own little section in the US Code on citizenship.

As for Puerto Rico, bring it on. Maybe we could get our tuna fish business back.

U.S. Code Title 7 CHAPTER 13 SUBCHAPTER IV § 349
section
7 U.S. Code § 349 - “State” defined

The term “State” means the States of the Union, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands.

FullMoon said...

Bedtime?
You know how once in a while six, or even five hours of a good sleep in more than enough?
I think Trump is like that most of the time.

Josephbleau said...

Trump broke her, sad.

Gunner said...

Has appearing on SNL ever worked out for someone running for President besides Trump?

Brylinski said...

She's trying to set herself up for 2028 - as a candidate for the Democrat Party.

readering said...

It all started with Sock it to me.

Rabel said...

Don Lemon was right.

Jim at said...

Any more questions on what type of republican Nikki Haley is? Yeah. Didn't think so.

water said...

"I see dead people" made me think of the movie, The Sixth Sense. Bruce Willis's character continues to go to work each day, not realizing that he has died.

Mason G said...

"Any more questions on what type of republican Nikki Haley is? Yeah. Didn't think so."

All the Democrats are Democrats. And half the Republicans are, too.

Bunkypotatohead said...

I think they'd get more laughs with some Biden family jokes, but the writers can't seem to help themselves. It's The Party line, all the time.

walter said...

Being the young one is a great career strategy.

stlcdr said...

"Smooth move Ex-Lax"

The first phrase that comes to mind. I feel embarrassed to think that there was a time I thought she'd make a good president or VP.
