I remember when SNL was less raunchy and used to take both parties to task. I remember a great skit around 2000 about Mark Rich wanting to become the DNC chairman because they’re the party of “stealing money and getting pardoned.” Sadly, around the Bush years it became all about mocking Bush.
It’s sad because pre-2000’s SNL was pretty funny.
You’re right; SNL used to be funny. They weren’t particularly impressed with Al Gore; their parodies of him were almost as bad as the real thing.
At this point I separate people into 2 basic groups; those that “do” things, and those that watch TV. The former is a smaller but more content group; the latter is just waiting to be told what to think, say, and eat (ALL Obama voters are in the second group).
