Don't They Have Mirrors at Saturday Night Live?

SNL forgets its own history of drug troubles as they ridicule Limbaugh.

- December 2004 -

 

        Props to the Drudge Report.

        Last night, a skit on Saturday Night Live (NBC) included a clip of a puppet-version of Rush Limbaugh vomiting and passing out on a bathroom floor from a drug overdose.

        As reported on the Drudge Report, the clip even angered a longtime "production source" of the show who has not forgotten the long and troubled history of drug abuse at SNL.

        Drudge quotes the source,

"Would we have done this to [John] Belushi? [Chris] Farley? ... We've had more f***ing 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?"
