did snl get it right?right in a bunch of places -- in the opening, in the sean spicer segment, and best of all, brian, and i think this has been under estimated "weekend update" has been brilliant. i thought they were great in 2008 when they took apart sarah palin. but now we are not talking about a candidate. we are talking about someone in the white house who is erratic and probably in a lot of ways dangerous. they're taking that on. i'll tell you something brilliant they did last night. they took apart his language. they had, for example, the case where his lawyers said there was no problem with his tax returns for the last ten years except for a few exceptions. and colin jost said that's like saying all the children came back safely from the field trip with a few exceptions. they did that. that's the key to this. the key to everything i think you have been talking about today in the really great segments with the earlier guests is that this is an administration that pumps disinformation into the eco-sy
