Candidates SNL Reactions

The following are mock letters written by the candidates running in the 2008 election.

Dear Lorne Michaels,
I would just like to say that fellow playing me on SNL does a wonderful job impersonating me. He really hit the nail on the head with me. I am a maverick. I am a straight-talker. And I have crossed party lines numerous times over the year to the dismay of my own party. That’s what we need from our next president someone who will cross party lines and be bipartisan, unlike that other guy. That’s why I want to thank you for your upcoming vote. Clearly, you’ve seen us for who we are and that’s why I know I can count on at least one vote out of New York.
Sincerely,
John McCain

To Whom It May Concern:
The lovely Tina Fey does a wonderfully hilarious impersonation of me. She’s so pretty and smart. She seems like she has a little maverick in her. Maybe one day she can run for vice-president. I still don’t know exactly what the V.P. does so maybe she’s as or even more qualified then me. Anyways I do have one complaint. I think you’ve been far too easy on Obama. I think you need to have sketches having him hanging out and playing basketball with terrorist like William Ayers. Maybe even Osama? These are just a few suggestions from a regular, maverick hockey mom.
Love,
Sarah Palin ♥

Dear Mr. Michaels,
Even though I’m running for the highest most powerful office in the world, I understand humor still plays an important role in society. I understand this because I am a very, very understanding person. Now, while you’ve really hit on John McCain and Sarah Palin and even Hilary Clinton, I think you’ve missed the boat on me a little. First off I’ve been a much better and eloquent speaker then you’ve had me portrayed. In fact, I could probably right some pretty funny jokes for you as I’m actually quite a funny guy. On another note, I would like to thank you for being much harsher on the McCain campaign and their gaffes then my own. John might say this is the media being biased but we know it’s the media doing what’s right for the country.
Sincerely,
Barack Obama

Dear Lorne,
Even though I’m running for the highest most powerful office in the world I still watch SNL. You guys are hilarious. Really, you guys are hilarious. Adam Sandler does a wonderful impersonation of me. Though I have to say I think my hair looks a little better in real life and is even a little blonder. I also, love your McCain humor. He’s a great guy, a dear friend, and has a terrific sense of humor but your portrayal of him as a nutcase should help us win this election, although sometimes I wish the ticket could be McCain/ Biden. Nonetheless, come Thanksgiving I fully expect Obama/ Biden will be wrapping up this election with a final push.
Your Next Vice-President,
Joseph Biden
