'Arianna Huffington' on 'SNL': Bush Is an 'Arsonist' (Video)

'Arianna Huffington' on 'SNL'

"Arianna Huffington" – the founder of the liberal political news and commentary website – has become a regular personality on "Saturday Night Live."

Michaela Watkins, the latest cast mate post Tina Fey and Amy Poehler days, was in full swing when she played "Arianna" on Weekend Update with Seth Meyers on Saturday. During the skit, "Arianna," true to form, poked fun at lame duck President George W. Bush. She believes Bush has done enough to wreck this country and shouldn’t be helping Barack Obama’s administration transition into the White House. She goes on to compare Bush to an "arsonist who burns down your house and then asks, ‘Do you need help moving?’" Also during the sketch, she calls politics "sexy again" and the War in Iraq "pornographic." Watch below to find out why:


Here’s a past "SNL" skit where "Arianna" wakes up in a fraternity house. Watch:

Michaela Watkins does a fantastic Arianna! But the show itself was really bad! It just wasn’t funny. I hope because the campaign is over and politics are no longer the norm for their skits, the truly funny skits are gone for good? It was painful to watch……
