    I remember rumors about Lester being the father years ago. And I'm pretty sure Mrs. Orbach died some time this spring.

    @louise: Yes, she died of pneumonia in April. You'd think the Post would've mentioned that...well, no, I guess you wouldn't.

    Well, she plays piano pretty well which is a lot more than most young recording artists can do these days.

    Wow, she made that song almost listenable. Still not watchable, though.

    Oh yes Fred Armisen's impressions are the key issue facing the nation. Thank god for real incisive investigative journalism like Brian Williams offers,

    Is NBC so desperate that it needs its top news anchor to enlist the President to tout Conan and SNL? And why wasn't Obama asked to rate the comedic style of Jimmy Fallon? Oh, I see.

    If you read Doonesbury, the recent comics of the Obama White House emphasize the same point: he's not make-fun-able! Admittedly, it's very early in his term, but he hasn't yet shown any clear character traits that would allow him to be made fun of well in a four panel or two minute increment.


    Disclaimer: I'm not an Obama fangirl, and he's disappointed me many times in his term, he just doesn't seem to have many hilarious personality quirks.

    @spitneybeers: I agree that's the issue. The writers room must be like, "His ears are big!" "He like french mustard on his burgers!" "He likes to act, uhm, like a gentleman and takes his wife out to romantic evenings in the City!"


    A skit on how he's gone back on some of his early (and late) campaign promises would be even less entertaining. For my money, Armisen does a fairly accurate, if thoroughly boring, impression.

    Phil Hartman was such a star, and Clinton and Bush were much better fodder for comedy. One of my favorites: Bill Clinton Visits McDonalds:

    Well, Obama, there's always "Mad Tv"....Keegan Michael Key does a decent job, and I LOVE when Debra Wilson does Oprah and Michael McDonald does (did? he left I think) Dr. Phil.
