You\u2019ve got to see Saturday Night Live<\/em>\u2018s take on the Vice Presidential debate.\u00a0 Go to the link for the video.\u00a0 Here are some excerpts:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m from Janesville, Wisconsin, and he\u2019s from Scranton, Pennsylvania,\u201d Ryan says in the skit. \u201cDo you know what the unemployment rate is in Scranton right now? It\u2019s 10 percent. And I just wonder what the vice president would say to hardworking people of towns like Janesville and Scranton.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI guarantee you, [Janesville] is a paradise next to the burning coal heap that is Scranton, Pennsylvania,\u201d Sudeikis\u2019 Biden retorts. \u201cDo you know that show, \u2018The Walking Dead?\u2019 It\u2019d make a good tourism ad for Scranton. If you went to the lowest circle of hell, you\u2019d still be 45 minutes outside of Scranton. I grew up there. I love it. It\u2019s the single worst place on earth.\u201d . . .<\/p>\n

\u201cMoving on, the baseball playoffs are in full swing, with four teams remaining,\u201d McKinnon\u2019s Raddatz says. \u201cSo, if you can, could you please speak personally about abortion?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u201cI accept the teachings of the Catholic Church,\u201d Sudeikis\u2019 Biden responds. \u201cBut then, like most Catholics, I ignore them and do what I want.\u201d <\/strong>\n
