SNL Producer Lorne Michaels Says, Republicans Are Easier To Mock Because "Democrats Take It Personally, Republicans Think It's Funny"

Now, THAT'S funny!

And so so true.


From the Weekly Standard:
Q: Are there any basic rules for what works and what doesn’t politically? 
A: Republicans are easier for us than Democrats. Democrats tend to take it personally; Republicans think it’s funny. But we’re not sitting here every week going, “We’ve really got to do the First Family.” This week, our cold open is about three big stories. We have Piers Morgan interviewing A-Rod, Chris Christie, and Justin Bieber. We’re doing more of that kind of thing than stuff about Benghazi or the new budget agreement. The country has lost interest in it. I can’t tell you why. It’s no less important, but in some way you can’t do health care more than twice, at which point there’s just nothing left. But Jay Pharoah does a really good Obama.
