Senator
Bernie Sanders seemed quite pleased with the send-up he received on
NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” this weekend, suggesting in an interview
Sunday morning that maybe Larry David, who impersonated him, should sub
in for him on the campaign trail.
It was a
dead-ringer of a performance by Mr. David, who nailed Mr. Sanders’s
distinctive stage presence: his clipped Brooklyn cadence, his arm
flailing, his sometimes endearing grumpiness.
“We’re doomed!” Mr. David said, launching into one of the Vermont senator’s signature rants against Wall Street banks.
“And why do they chain all their pens to the desks?” he continued. “Who’s trying to steal a pen from a bank? Makes no sense.”
