That was hilarious INB! It's a testament to the waste in our government.

That was a great, and much-deserved mocking of Herr Olbermann. Thank you, Ben, and thank you, SNL.

I agree with Mike C.
Affleck was brilliant. I can't stand his politics, but he can act. Despite a few lemons in his career, he was brilliant in Hollywoodland and certainly in this sketch.
He nailed Keith "Chezchoslovakia" Olbermann.

Not only does Gawker sneer at FNCU, but the commenters do, too. They make a Hitler [Ding!] reference, and downgrade U to "CC" (Community College). Nice. :-:

Harry tried to goad BOR into giving KO ammunition, and then tried to get BOR to admit Oralmann's attacks have affected him.
Re: "Exit poll concerns resurface": Wolf Blitzer was shown in a casual shirt and jeans. I don't think I'd ever seen out of a suit until I saw that link.
