Mr. Pot Meet Mr. Kettle

Saturday Night Live, which quit being funny years ago, descended to a new low with a sketch depicting talk radio host Rush Limbaugh passed out from a drug overdose. Here's the report about the sketch and the ensuing backstage uproar from Drudge:

NBC's comedy depiction of talkradio king Rush Limbaugh passed-out in vomit from drug abuse ignited backstage outrage at SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE.

The animated sketch left one senior production source stunned and outraged, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

"Would we have done this to [John] Belushi? [Chris] Farley?" the source said on Sunday from New York.

The source asked not to be identified fearing retribution from SNL's executive producer Lorne Michaels.

"We've had more (expletive) drug addicts on this show through the years... more tragedy. I have lost count. Did we ever have some laughs about Robert Downey Jr.'s serious drug addiction?"

The crass montage which aired on NBC featured Limbaugh vomiting from drugs on a bathroom floor, in an apparent overdose.

Last year, Limbaugh announced to his radio audience that he was seeking treatment for an addiction to pain medication.

Calls to Michaels office went unreturned late Sunday.

Given that this show has had two former cast members die of drug problems, and numerous other stars and guest artists that used drugs in copious quantities, this sketch is the height of hypocrisy. Once again it's okay to take a shot at a conservative that they would never dare take at one of their own.
