What? Nobody posted this yet? SNL did another debate sketch. The faux host announced that the guests would be seated in accordance with their poll numbers. Paul was in the parking garage.

He got no questions until the end. The guest asked "Ron Paul, how are you doing?"

As the camera cut to the garage, a white van pulled up, and some mysterious figures pulled Paul into the van. Shots were fired, then Paul climbed back out. It was great!

"Ideologically pure and tough as nails." from the script.

RP wants to cut foreign aid, the fed drama and opposed recent wars that are now turning out to be based on lies and racial revenge motivations. Not surprised that SNL libs would not be a fan of him.

I don't know,it just wasn't very funny. SNL didn't really attempt to make fun of the candidates,its like they were being PC

I liked it. Didn't find it anti-paul at all. In fact compared to how they did the other candidates, it was quite the opposite.

I liked the van part in the tube, but putting Paul in the garage implies he's really low in the polls. I find that a little insulting because it's not true. They're making him look like the Mike Gravel of the Republican Party.

Every candidate was mocked, but Ron Paul was the only one praised. Works for me!

Relax a little. It was a comedy sketch. The joke wouldn't work if he was anywhere else.

And for those of us looking to be offended, I'm pretty sure there was a shot at the conspiracy theorists in our ranks in there as well.
