Earlier today Twitchy reported on a (finally!) funny skit from “Saturday Night Live” where President Obama was mocked for his executive amnesty immigration scheme using a parody of the old “Schoolhouse Rock” song, “I’m only a bill.”

Weak. And basically an open invitation for Tweeps to mock the paper.
Check out these other Washington Post Fact Checks that you might have missed. 😉
