The SNL skit was hilarious, and absolutely skewered the lefties who were parodied. Barbara Streisand, Donahue, Moore, and Sharpton all took big-time hits. There was even some line in there about America rejecting progressives.
SNL is pretty uneven, but their political stuff has always been great. Their reprise of the Bush/Gore debates made fun of both candidates pretty evenly, but were very funny. "Strategery" still cracks me up.
