While gold medalist Michael Phelps is getting his comedic feet wet as host on Saturday Night Live’s season opener this weekend, he’ll be sharing the limelight with Barak Obama who is readying for his second dip in the SNL pool. Obama appeared last November, playing himself during the opening skit involving Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton. Set at a Halloween party, Obama came dressed as—Barack Obama!
"I have nothing to hide," he said in the sketch. "I enjoy being myself. I’m not going to change who I am just because it’s Halloween."
Details of Saturday’s skit are still being worked out, an Obama spokesperson told People magazine.
Update: Woops! Cancelled, due to Ike.

Welcome Lisa!
Thanks for bringing me on board. I look forward to this and hope FLD enjoys my stuff. I’m a little punny and snarky. Entertainment does inform people, so it’s good to know you have an audience interested in what celebs say and do for their parties.
Welcome to the Lake.
Lisa, are you sure this is still on? Looks like it may have been canceled due to Ike.
Howdy, LD.
Thanks for joining our FDL heroes.
Should Ike keep Barak off SNL?
Is this caving to the threat of oppo propaganda?
And does BO have any choice?
Please forgive this OT post, but I’m hopping mad about what was delivered into my home this morning in the Sunday paper. My home and millions of others, actually…please write about this:
Got Propaganda “Obsession?” – In your Newspaper? – We did.
A paid insert – four color high gloss – 2 sides, with DVD insert – with virtually no profit motive and no chance to recover the costs.

Your Jewish American Zionist Zealots (AIPAC) @ work…illegal propaganda designed to denigrate an entire religion. McCain would have entitled it: “Bomb Iran.” It IS political propaganda designed specifically to boost the McCain campaign. It IS terrorism via DVD.
Brought to you by Alan Dershowitz, Daniel Pipes, Ari Fleischer and the Nazis who brought you the lies that led to the invasion of Iraq…all orchestrated by Michael Ledeen, the ADL, the Hudson Institute, etc.
Call these bastards by their names…”Hate Mongers For Israel.”
