In its latest episode, Saturday Night Live sends up newly announced 2008 White House hopeful Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY), with cast veteran Darrell Hammond playing Hardball's Chris Matthews and Amy Poehler portraying Clinton.

"You're great!" says Hammond several times in Matthews' recognizable accent to Poehler's Clinton. As "Matthews" is about to ask "Clinton" some questions about Iraq, she sifts through his questions until she finds one she feels comfortable with.
