oops i had 98 messages and  wrote back before i read this one.
colin quinn? he hasn't done the snl news in like 3 or 4 years.
was he refering to the gulf war? was the joke more about
"not wanting to see britney spears on tv"?...i don't want
to see britney spears doing anything...that's a legitimate
complaint..but i may be interpreting the joke as something
seperate from what he intended...i don't know.
