SNL's Political Commentary

The new season of SNL aired last night, and the very first skit was aimed at Delaware Senate hopeful Christine O'Donnell. The sketch made remarks of her past statements during her campaign, such as her past "dabble in witchcraft", and it goes on to the actress portraying O'Donnell to add more absurdity to O'Donnell's image.
Asa fan of the show, I found the sketch to be pretty funny, as I have with a lot of their political satire. The show has taken on politics regularly (especially since the 2008 Presidential Campaign) and even hosts these political faces on the show, to poke fun at themselves and other issues.
So what do you guys think of SNL's political satire?
