Quit burying SNL, gentlemen. Next time they mock Sarah Palin or somebody like that you'll be ecstatic again.

snl has been terrible since it lost steve martin

the only thing that made any of the palin shit funny was that tina fey would just quote her verbatim

mcpreacher is correct... the real genius of Tina Fey's Palin bits was that she was just using Palin's real speeches and interviews (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjZW4z9zqqY), mostly word for word. And Palin's defenders ranted at SNL's portrayal is why people thought Palin was dumb... but the reality is that Palin is just that dumb.

With that said, I thought this Obama skit was as funny as it was angering.

...And that's what good satire is made of.
