The Masters of Sex star started with a zinger that very likely crossed party lines: "Citizens United - isn't that such a beautiful name for something that means 'Billionaires Buying Politicians'? "
Eventually, though, Silverman eviscerated the jabs about penis size, sweat glands and other superficial concerns that plagued the Republican primary race eventually won by Donald Trump: "That stuff is for third graders. Come on! It's like major arrested-development stuff. That's 'I'm still emotionally four and calling people names from my gold-encrusted sandbox because I was given money instead of human touch or coping tools' stuff!"
"I am proud to be a part of Bernie's movement," she Silverman concluded. "And a vital part of that movement is making absolutely sure that Hillary Clinton is our next president of the United States. Booyah! Bababooey!"
