Now that Barack Obama is headed for the Oval Office and Hillary Clinton for Foggy Bottom, which job is looking better to the senator from New York?
Considering the problems the president-elect is facing, the woman who plays Clinton on Saturday Night Live suggests, globe-trotting is looking a whole lot more appealing to the incoming president's nominee for secretary of state. But the real question, suggests comedienne Amy Poehler's Saturday Night Clinton, is this: Is the job of secretary of state better than the job of governor of Alaska. Yes, she says, "it is.''
And, for all those who thought they were voting for "change" with the election of the former junior senator from Illinois, the fellow who has copyrighted Bill Clinton on SNL, Darrell Hammond, arrives on the set of this particular skit to wave a finger at himself and his "wife" and warn: "This ain't changing.''
You'll still have the Clintons to kick around - for which SNL, having lost its premier target with the failure of Alaska's Sarah Palin, is eternally grateful.
