SNL Review: Joe Biden Parody Just Not That Funny, and Taylor Swift’s Monologue Song (video)
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on November 16, 2009
Sorry, Crazy Joe… you’re just not bringing in the laughs anymore. And SNL is either too lazy or too afraid to spoof Pres. Obama very often.
Which is a cryin’ shame, because POTUS was BORN to be spoofed. Just his protocol blunders this past week in Asia could be a hilarious skit. Bowing, anyone?
I want to see a skit about why on earth his dog’s name is comprised of his initials… BO. Weirdly vain, or coincidence?

Taylor Swift headlined the show last week, and this is her “Monologue Song.” Subtle and sly… I’m guessing a lot of people won’t understand it or like it. But I did. Understated lyrics about Kanye West… well done.

About the author
I love Taylor because she is so damn talented. She is an amazing singer and I love the way she dresses. Taylor gave me an autograph outside HMV once and wow that made me smile nonstop for days. Some people hate her but I think they are just jealous because she is hot and gifted. Taylor is a sweet girl and I hope her life ends up the way she wants to..
