The wealthy and prominent have always been stupid and created an opportunity for political and social satire. SNL is just carrying the torch to shed some light just the way Socrates, Plato, Shakespeare, Swift, Twain and Steinbeck did down through the ages. I mean really, W is dumber than last years squirrel's nest.
Political and social humor is never funny, regardless of what part of the political spectrum it comes from. Mediocre comedians use it, because "agreement" makes a comedian approachable, and "dissenting opinions" often sound absurd among peopole who agree on something. Making a political "joke" is an easy cop-out for humorists with little talent.

Conservative humor is a contradiction in terms. Anybody remember Fox's blink-and-you-missed-it "1/2 Hour News Hour"?
