Probably her best line (and well-delivered to boot) came when Amy Poehler, the comedienne who portrays Mrs. Clinton on “SNL,” asked the candidate how things were going. “Oh the campaign is going very, very well,” Mrs. Clinton said in a syrupy tone. Then, with mock suspicion, she continued: “Why, what have you heard?” The show also had another surprise appearance: Rudolph W. Giuliani, who compared his candidacy to an SNL skit: “it started strong, but you don’t have an ending.” The show opened, as it did last week, with a skit parodying the recent Clinton-Obama debates; Mrs. Clinton did not take part in the reenactment, with SNL players squaring off and interacting with the moderators. Last week’s skit featured CNN moderators fawning over Mr. Obama; Saturday night’s had the NBC panelists, Brian Williams and Tim Russert, doing the same, with Mr. Russert laying it on thick as he described Mr. Obama’s eloquence. “I get it Tim, he’s eloquent,” the faux Hillary said. A quick aside: The real Mrs. Clinton had referenced last week’s skit during the real debate with Mr. Obama in Ohio on Tuesday, complaining that she seemed “to get the first question all the time.” She continued: “I don’t mind. I’ll be happy to field it. I just find it curious if anybody saw ‘Saturday Night Live,’ maybe we should ask Barack if he’s comfortable and needs another pillow.”
