i saw that show too last night and quinn said something meaningless like "yeah its all about the oil. thanks prof. chomsky" with a sneer on his face. its funny that nbc doesnt mind taking shots at chomsky but will probably not dare put the man himself on. having never seen quinn anywhere but on SNL (unlike you), i was not surprised - his humour has always pandered to conservative notions.
