Saturday Night Live’s cold open for October 25 hit with mockery of President Obama‘s handling of the Ebola crisis. As the skit’s president explained, hey, it’s not like they handled Ebola as badly as they did ISIS, Obamacare, and the dozens of other scandals…In fact, as the president explained, “This whole Ebola thing is probably one of my greatest accomplishments.”

He then brought on Ebola czar Ron Klain to take questions from the press and advised voters in Southern states like Louisiana and Kentucky to avoid large crowded areas like, say, polling places, for the next week or so.

The full opening is as follows:

Excerpt:

It was nowhere near as bad as how we handled the ISIS [Islamic State] situation. I mean, our various Secret Service mishaps, or the scandals of the IRS and NSA. And I don’t know if you guys remember, but the Obamacare website had some pretty serious problems too. In fact, if you look at all the stuff that’s happened my second term, this whole Ebola thing is probably one of my greatest accomplishments!

Do we have to say it? If you are a Democrat and you’ve lost extreme left winger Lorne Michaels (long-time producer of Saturday Night Live) you’ve nearly lost your base.

Press corps to White House: Let’s be real; you’re making this up as you go, right?

It is nice to occasionally hear reflected in the White House press pool what so many normal people have gleaned about this White House:

Two questions excerpted, from Roberta Rampton, who is with Reuters:

“Let’s take the case of the Pentagon. You talked about how the administration has been aware and has acted on an Ebola outbreak since March. And then shouldn’t these — shouldn’t a policy have been in place when you decided to send troops to West Africa? Shouldn’t — how you are going to treat those returning troops in a matter of a protocol then, rather than to what appears to be being made up on the fly?”…

“I’m confused tough because we have known about this outbreak for some time and we are going to hear as you say from CDC later on guidelines and protocols for returning medical workers which we know they were there. Why haven’t — and the Pentagon too in the case of these people who are being held or sort of semi-quarantined in Italy. Why weren’t these kinds of decisions made earlier?”

This represents more mainstreaming of the idea that these guys just don’t have what it takes to actually respond to crises. Most of us have found that obvious for quite some time, but it’s important when the press corps and “Saturday Night Live” start talking about it, as SNL did this weekend with a pretty sweeping indictment of a string of Obama administration failures, which Jazz blogged but is worth a watch if you missed it:
