I remember hating Saturday Night Live when it seemed to go apolitical and smug—the Dennis Miller years. In looking back, Miller and Victoria Jackson were ring-wingers (so is producer Lorne Michaels) oops, Michaels has only ever donated to McCain, back when McCain was a decent R; he seems to have only Democratic donations otherwise...except a Year 2000 gift to Ralph Nader), so maybe that explains the valley of its humor—conservatives can not do funny.

Lately, SNL has picked up because it's not been afraid to have opinions. Fortunately for me and fortunately for the funny, those opinions have favored liberals.

But for the final pre-election show they're allowing the despicable John McCain to appear (sorry, but it's not just that he's a Republican, it's how he's conducted his campaign) AND they're doing a savage skit making fun of Keith Olbermann? Fuck you, SNL, and fuck Ben Affleck for taking part in it.

Yes, yes, "get a sense of humor." I'll be happy to poke fun at Democratic follies AFTER we are safely back in power.
