‘SNL’ Rush Limbaugh skit angers staff

» More Media


Stop everything! Matt Drudge just found out not everybody on set at Saturday Night Live is a comedic liberal. After this weekend’s Robert Smigel (of Ambiguously Gay Duo fame) cartoon depicted Rush Limbaugh doing what he does best – lying in his own vomit after O.D.ing – at least “one senior production source” became shocked and outraged.

“Would we have done this to [John] Belushi? [Chris] Farley?” the source said on Sunday from New York.

The source asked not to be identified fearing retribution from SNL’s executive producer Lorne Michaels.

“We’ve had more fu**ing drug addicts on this show through the years… more tragedy. I have lost count. Did we ever have some laughs about Robert Downey Jr.’s serious drug addiction?”

Uhm, actually, yes. But even funnier than his drug addiction? The Futurist.
