    In reply to Saturday Night Special
    By the way, #SNL has some seriously horrendous hosts lined up for the next few weeks, so I expect lots of liveblogging in #SNS. Next week is Blake Lively, followed by Taylor Lautner(!!), followed by James Franco (who I respect for the whole soap thing, but seriously?), followed by Jay Baruchel, who I'm not sure has ever had more than four lines in any given movie. WTF?

    @DahlELama: One thing to remember about SNL. It's not about the quality but the PR. SNL is the equivalent to an appearance on The Rachel Ray Show now.

    @fatmonalisa: I think you're undervaluing it immensely, actually. I've never seen as many articles about Taylor Swift as I did after she hosted SNL, not even after she swept award show after award show. Not to mention how popular and even arguably influential it was during campaign season. People talk about how irrelevant it is, and yet they managed to get Obama, McCain and his wife, Clinton, and Palin all on air. That's a hop, skip, and enormous jump away from Rachael Ray.

    @DahlELama: James Franco, heh, his GH stint is surreal. He'll probably be good on SNL. Why Taylor Lautner was even asked to host SNL is embarrassing. Jay Baruchel?

    @DahlELama: Since you opened up the topic, can we briefly discuss the fact that the SNL rerun tonight with Gerard Butler (which is definitely from the current season since those two new women are in this episode) contained a sketch about '300', which came out close to three years ago? WTeffingF is going on with this show? Seriously. (I'm also fairly agog about Baruchel. Whoever manages him is either a very intimidating mafioso type, or, like, a warlock. [Oh my God, now there's a sketch on about 'Braveheart'. I CAN'T.])

    @JohntheCraptist: Yeah, basically Butler will be living off 300 forever because it's the only remotely memorable thing he's done. And I say this having never even seen it, but assuming it must be because otherwise I can neither justify this SNL appearance nor his cover feature in Esquire. I actually thought his episode was OK, especially in a particularly bad season, but I wouldn't like to see him host again.

    As for Baruchel, I'd put twenty bucks on the warlock. Just the fact that his name looks familiar to me is astonishing and clearly the work of the devil and some potion featuring eye of newt. The truth is, he may have comedic chops and therefore not be so bad at SNL, but I find the show a lot less enjoyable when I'm not familiar with the host's work.

    @fatmonalisa: You're right. It's as if SNL has abandoned any attempt to be funny and is now simply about the "gets", as if the mere presence of a novel or high-profile guest host or a cameo by a politico makes the show good. Last night I watched an episode from the second season. In Update, Jane Curtin made a vicious comment about the Tonight Show with Carson being dead after 15 years on the air. Well, SNL has become that Tonight Show.

    So Larry King's producers (do they moonlight at the Bravo Network?) are giving these creepy crawlers a showcase Monday night, to talk about their Excellent White House Adventure, and record optimum camera angles in their ongoing and so far successful bid to land a spot on the reality series? We're slipping fast, people.

    There is only funny in this because nobody died.

    You don't need guns to kill people, you don' t need to bring weapons of your own to kill people. There are knives at the state dinner, and hey, look how close the woman got to both Vice Prez Biden and Chief of Staff Rahm.

    This is a !@#$%^ disgrace.

    ...and remember Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko? Poisoned. (Possibly at a dinner meeting; [news.bbc.co.uk])

    ...and who else got in there? We knew these two have crashed the party because they made high profile about it, but who else got in that wasn't known?

    I think what is really sad is that we live in this post 9-11 world where tons of personal freedoms have been washed away and privacy is a quaint concept at best, yet two ding-a-lings with delusions can crash a Presidential event... And that this even happened after some loonball in the military who everyone knew was a loonball went all loonball and killed people on an Army base.

    Which is all to say: So we're sacrificing all of this privacy and personal freedom for what exactly? It's pretty clear that any loon can get into--and do--whatever they want despite the best protections of those in charge.

    But thank goodness nobody can bring large bottles of shampoo and conditioner on airplanes, and people have to have their shoes check at the airport, right?

    Good effing lord.

    The first thing I thought of when I saw this was another couple who crashed DC parties--Kenneth and Sante Kimes, back in the 1970s. Mrs. Kimes and her son, also named Kenneth, murdered their wealthy NYC landlady a few years ago and are serving life in prison.

    While it's true that nothing happened and the POTUS and his guests were never in any true danger, this is really problematic in another sense. When did people in this society become so selfish and self-absorbed? In their quest to get on a reality TV show, these two tried to crash a STATE dinner, where the Obamas were hosting foreign dignitaries. This is not just a party, folks--it's diplomacy in action and what these two did was to interrupt that to satisfy their own selfish ambitions. How does Obama explain this to India? My guess is that the WH is doing a lot of damage control right now, all because these two twits were deluded enough to crash an event at the WH to suit their own shallow goals. Ugh.

    These days everything seems to be a caricature of itself anyway, so why not treat a serious, official United States of America formal State Dinner as if it were a neighborhood street fair? I mean who really decides where to draw the line in society these days? And are there any lines? Dunno.

    Maybe this will inspire a similarly
