WATCH: SNL’s Hillary Clinton Laughs Off Email Controversy

“Saturday Night Live” tackled the controversy over Hillary Clinton’s use of personal email while she was secretary of state during its cold open on Saturday night.

“Those emails are as clean as a whistle. This is not how Hillary Clinton goes down,” SNL’s Clinton said.

“What did you think my emails said?” she asked “‘Hi, It’s Hillary. I really screwed up on Benghazi today.’ Please.”

She then outlined the kind of correspondence individuals would find when reading through her emails while explaining her plan to become president.

  1. Kate McKinnon has been getting a lot of attention in the comedy world lately. If she doesn’t improve her Hillary impersonation though that may come to a screeching halt. Yikes

  2. I haven’t watched SNL in years, since it stopped being funny — around, say, 1979. But this was very well done, very funny.

  3. Repubs will waste millions as they have on Benghazi and in the end nothing will be found. It does give Congressman Pinhead national exposure.

  4. Looks like there’s an actress with job security for the next few years at least.

  5. Yeah, I laughed. I cringed at the intro and dreaded what they’d be doing with her, because it’s seemed lately that with recent years’ departures the remaining writers are increasingly some combination of right-wing/careless with facts/ignorant/not funny. (Anybody remember the ebola press-conference sketch?) But the “how stupid do you think I am?” theme was spot-on. Pretty funny.
