SNL crew have their work cut out
for them with Gadhafi
Re: "Noose tightens on Gadhafi," Feb. 25, 2011.
The Viennese satirist Karl Kraus owned that satire was a daunting
challenge for him after Hitler and the Nazis came to power in Germany
in 1933. He felt that all the elements of caricature were already in
place and that there was little he could add to the subject matter to
underscore a sense of the absurd.
How to caricature a caricature? That was his dilemma -- one that will
no doubt confront the cast members of Saturday Night Live or other
similar TV shows who take it upon themselves to lampoon the Libyan
strongman Col. Moammar Gadhafi.
It's hard to "improve" on the original.
