Once again, Hillary takes the low road.
Everybody wanted to know which Hillary Rodham Clinton would show up to the Cleveland debate on Tuesday night. It turned out to be the Amy Poehler version.
Mrs. Clinton wanted the world to understand that the press is tougher on her than on Barack Obama. And she made her case by citing a sketch on last week’s “Saturday Night Live” that showed mock debate moderators grilling her stand-in, Ms. Poehler, but fawning over the Obama character. “Well, can I just point out that in the last several debates, I seem to get the first question all the time,” Mrs. Clinton said. “I don’t mind, you know, I’ll be happy to field them. But I do find it curious. And if anybody saw ‘Saturday Night Live,’ maybe we should ask Barack if he’s comfortable and needs another pillow.” (The pillow was her own flourish; on the show, the actors playing journalists asked the faux Obama if he was comfortable.)

An interesting, though, to those of us on the outside looking in, a somewhat desperate insinuation. Why in the world would Senator Clinton complain about being portrayed 'unfairly' or 'unevenly' on SNL? After all, it's meant to be a satirical venue.

I don't think she was criticizing SNL but, rather, pointing to the skit to show that others see that she is being treated "unfairly" by the media. Her point was that Obama seems to be universally adored by the MSM.
