SNL Takes On Rahm Emanuel's Apology For 'Retarded' Comment (VIDEO)

Played by Andy Samberg, Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel offered up an "Even-Tempered Apology" last night on SNL for his use of the word "retarded." While Samberg's impression occasionally veered toward his take on Mark Wahlberg, he captured the fiery Emanuel perfectly. Addressing Palin's call for him to be fired, he screamed:

"You come after me on facebook? What, are your fourteen? Here's a status update: Grow the f--k up! Poke me again, and I will write s--t on your wall so obsene your computer will cry. Go back to the tundra, you f--king gimmick!"

Samberg then summed things up succinctly: "In conclusion, boo f--king hoo. Get over it."

I am seriously hoping that he gets fired soon.

He represent the special interest and lobbyist who we wanted to kick out from Washington­.

Let's Howard Dean take his place!

Like she said about the Tina Fey skits, Sarah probably thought it was funny but listened to it with the sound turned down. She is a joke.

They srubbed me for calling Rahm "Rammed Manhole" and Axelrod "assholero­d", go figure!!

I really wish that's EXACTLY what Rahm would have told Sarah instead of apologizin­g. She just looks for stuff like this to blow up into a huge story. It annoys me to no end that both Letterman and Rahm apologized­, no one should ever apologize to someone who just uses these made-up issues for more exposure.

Andy Samberg is very hit or miss. Fortunatel­y, this skit is a hit all the way. Hilarious!­! Hopefully we see more of Rahm on SNL in the future.

I would love to know what Rahm thought of this. Would have paid good money to see his reaction!

You mean he didn't write it? In that case, I hope he laughed his a$$ off!

hilarious. Where can I see the uncensored version???

I think the censors made it even funnier, there is still the 'k' sound from the f-bomb that just acts like vulgar punctuatio­n. too funny.

As to the remarks directed to Sarah ... I'll co-sign that.
