"The idea of you playing adviser to the Democratic party is kind of like the iceberg trying to join the crew of the Titanic."

When Burlington native Amy Poehler visited Seth Meyers on “Late Night” Wednesday, the former “Saturday Night Live” stars took the opportunity to bring back a favorite “Weekend Update” segment, “Really!?! with Seth and Amy.”
In the past, Meyers and Poehler have lampooned right-wing protesters and a journalist who disparaged women’s sports.
This time, their target was former FBI Director James Comey, who earlier this week tweeted, “Democrats, please, please don’t lose your minds and rush to the socialist left. This president and his Republican Party are counting on you to do exactly that. America’s great middle wants sensible, balanced, ethical leadership.”

Here are some of duo’s jokes from the segment, not in order:
Meyers: “Really, James Comey? You want to weigh in on things when there’s an election coming up? You feel like that’s gone well for you in the past? That’s like Michael Jordan saying, ‘I think I’m gonna take another shot at baseball.'”
Poehler: “Really, James Comey? You’re worried the Democrats are going to move too far to the left? Really? I don’t know if you remember, but we were just about to have a nice, boring, moderate Democrat for a president until you decided to open your mouth a week before the election, you big, dumb scarecrow.”
Meyers: “And really, you’re telling Democrats not to lose their minds? I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the party in power is locking babies in cages, the president talks about Vladimir Putin the way Jay-Z talks about Beyoncé, and the White House has more employee turnover than a Dairy Queen in September.”
Poehler: “Really! And as far as I’m concerned, the Democrats can vote for a bong in the shape of Ché Guevara, and you’ve got nothing to say about it.”
Meyers: “I’ll take your political advice as soon as I’m done with my Jeffrey Dahmer cookbook and my Harvey Weinstein fitness tapes.”
Poehler: “The idea of you playing adviser to the Democratic party is kind of like the iceberg trying to join the crew of the Titanic.”
