Last
week,
Pam
Bondi
learned
that
life
comes
at
you
fast
as
she
was
dumped
in
the
trash
(weirdly,
not
a
metaphor).
The
now-former
Attorney
General,
whose
tenure
was
already
doing
heavy
lifting
in
the
“controversial
at
best”
category,
has
been
roundly
mocked
since
news
broke
that
her
portrait
was
spotted
unceremoniously
tossed
aside
almost
immediately
after
her
firing.
And
then
Saturday
Night
Live
got
in
on
the
action.
In
the
cold
open,
cast
member
Ashley
Padilla
took
a
turn
as
Bondi,
delivering
a
performance
that
managed
to
capture
both
the
self-seriousness
and
the
spectacular
lack
of
self-awareness
that
defined
Bondi’s
time
at
DOJ.
The
highlight?
A
line
that
feels
destined
to
live
far
longer
than
Bondi’s
already-short-lived
post-Trump
tenure,
“The
truth
is,
I
was
amazing
at
my
job,
and
I
am
proud
to
say
I
made
history
as
the
first
woman
ever
to
be
fired
as
attorney
general.
I
shattered
that
glass
exit
door!”
But
SNL
didn’t
stop
there.
Because
if
you’re
going
to
twist
the
knife,
you
might
as
well
go
for
the
jugular.
“They
threw
my
headshot
in
the
trash
like
it
was
the
Epstein
files!”
Padilla
cried,
summoning
crocodile
tears
for
her
disgraced
legal
career.
You
can
watch
the
full
skit
