He wasn't the most articulate spokesperson to put on there. I swear he might have been high. But that last line was so classic: Black is the New President, Bitch!

Tina Fey can suck it!

Granted, I haven't watched SNL since 1993, but he's actually very funny on 30 Rock.

"Saturday Night Live" hasn't really been funny for about 20 years.

Tracy Morgan hasn't been that funny for most of his career.

And there are plenty of people who aren't thrilled with Obama or Clinton or McCain. We're voting for Ralph Nader.

@thefrontpage:
Oh yeah? Well I'm voting for Noam Chomsky!

@thefrontpage: John McCain appreciates your vote!

@Pupster:"Tina Fey can suck it!

Yes she CAN. But she WON'T. Not until there's a bitch in the White House. It's some kinda Lysistrata thingie....

I wasn't too impressed, but wasn't prepared for the "Bitch may be the new black..." bit at the end. A little bt of soda ended up on my monitor at work.

SNL is not funny. I tried watching clips and I couldn't. Brutally not-good.

@thefrontpage: You're voting for Ralph Nader and you're preachy about it? I'm nominating you for an instant commenter execution.

@thefrontpage: "And there are plenty of people who aren't thrilled with Obama or Clinton or McCain. We're voting for Ron Pa-, uh, Ralph Nader"

Damn, is the [s] strike text or [del] not usable here?

Tracy Morgan is like Dennis Miller--funny only to republicans.

Fair and Balanced.

I crack myself up sometimes...

Yeah, SNL is punishingly bad, but he genuinely is funny on 30 Rock. Of course, everyone is funny on that show because they have writers that are actually good. Plus, he's basically playing an out-of-control, clinically insane low-level celebrity, which it would seem is not exactly a stretch.

@thefrontpage: yeah, because that worked so well in 2000.

@Serolf Divad: I'll see your Noam Chomsky, and raise you a Howard Zinn.

I do believe we have our first Ralphtard sighting of this election season. Let's let them flock and breed for a while before we bring out the hunting rifles.

i liked his Lacoste sweater and the color, very spring.

and oh yeah ... mad tv > snl

@thefrontpage: Do us a favor, have your convention in a corvair.

@jagorev: I am not sure rifles will work. I think we need a Super Logic Ray that will force facts and reality to penetrate their brains, causing massive internal conflict and eventual spontaneous combustion.

That seemed funnier to me when I saw it on Saturday.

His monologue is hilarious. He is funny, but only as some version of himself. Keep him away from Hamlet or Col. Kurtz. And he is right on. This political analysis is more astute than anything I've seen on cable tv in the last 8 months. And the "answering the phone" and "black guy good at something" jokes are fucking hilarious, not to mention the "way blacker than him" riff.

@ALIVE!: i'll see your zinn and raise you one eugene debs.

I love that monologue so much I want to take it behind the middle school and get it pregnant.

@thefrontpage: It's like you're saying, "I don't like anything on the menu, so I'm going to eat my own feces."

Tracey Morgan is hilarious on 30 Rock.

@Soymocha: Actually, this is more like saying, I don't really like entrees A or B, and entree C is poison. However, if I select item D, which I like even though no one else does, I and everyone else will be force-fed C and die a painful death from diarrhea.

@Doglessliberal: Your simile is the better one. Nice job.

As long as Nader's candidacy is linked in some tangential way to shit, the world is a more truthful place.

@sirconradignatiusduck: If we can vote for dead guys I'm writing in Frank Zappa. But of course in that situation Reagan will win in a landslide.

@Doglessliberal: that's actually a pretty good analogy, nice.

@thefrontpage: Might as well vote for Ralph Kramden.

Oh yeah,I almost forgot to say "Jeffersonian Revolution,mumble,mumble,Corvair heaters,mumble,mumble..."

@Soymocha: yes, I really just wanted to link him and diarrhea somehow. I agree that it seems apt.

Generally, I think Morgan's a funny guy.... He's done some great standup. In my opinion, SNL kinda redeemed itself last week due largely to Jonah Hill... he did pretty well. But the last 2 episodes before that were really, really, really bad. Fred Armisen's gotta lot of work to do, but on another note, I'll be damned if Darrell Hammond didn't nail John McCain.

Did any of you crabby people even bother getting to the last fifteen seconds? "Black is the new President, Bitch". Funniest line of the day, thanks to Tina Fey.

When exactly did Tracy Morgan turn into Biz Markie?

Perfect balance to Tina Fey's gushing over HRC a few weeks ago. And Tracy said all the things I'm usually yelling at my T.V. when I watch the news. God bless the little rascal.

Factorysealed- thank you for the Biz reference. It's been too long. SNL has had its up's and downs,but Kristen Wiig in last week's "Suze Orman Show" redeemed its self from any lingering wispers of the Hortio Sanz years.

As for Tracy Morgan, I think he's fantastic on 30 Rock, or in any other setting where someone funny (someone else) is writing for him.
