To be fair, they have skewered the left as well...Plenty of skits lampooning Carter back in the day, Clinton and Lewinsky was pretty damn good back in the 90's (Darrell Hammond and Molly Shannon played those parts well)...nowadays it does seem to reflect the politicization of literally everything...Hell, I flipped on an episode of Bear Grylls hiking with BHO in Alaska talking about climate change...that was the biggest wtf moment on tv in years...
Whats the hype with this Amy Poehler? She is awful and lacks talent.

I will never watch a Sean Penn movie (if he is still in the business). He is an annoying prick liberal.
I can only imagine his sense of loss.
and a far better person than you
Penn has been active in supporting numerous political and social causes. On December 13–16, 2002, Sean Penn visited Iraq to protest the Bush Administration's apparent plans for a military strike on Iraq. On June 10, 2005, Penn made a visit to Iran. Acting as a journalist on an assignment for the San Francisco Chronicle, he attended a Friday prayer at Tehran University.[34] On January 7, 2006, Penn was a special guest at the Progressive Democrats of America, where he was joined by author and media critic Norman Solomon, Democratic congressional candidate Charles Brown, and activist Cindy Sheehan. The "Out of Iraq Forum", which took place in Sacramento, California, was organized to promote the anti-war movement calling for an end to the War in Iraq. On December 18, 2006, Penn received the Christopher Reeve First Amendment Award from the Creative Coalition for his commitment to free speech.[35] In August 2008, Penn made an appearance at one of Ralph Nader's "Open the Debates" Super Rallies. He protested the political exclusion of Nader and other third parties.[36] In October 2008, Penn traveled to Cuba, where he met with and interviewed President Raúl Castro.[37] In February 2012, he stood beside Hugo Chávez while Venezuela supported the Syrian government during the 2011–2012 Syrian uprising.[38]
In September 2005, Penn traveled to New Orleans, Louisiana to aid Hurricane Katrina victims. He was physically involved in rescuing people,[48] although there was criticism that his involvement was a PR stunt as he hired a photographer to come along with his entourage.[49] Penn denied such accusations in an article he wrote for The Huffington Post.[50] Director Spike Lee interviewed Penn for his documentary about Hurricane Katrina, When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts.
Support for same-sex marriage
Filming Milk, 2008
On February 22, 2009, Penn received the Academy Award for Best Actor for the film Milk. In his acceptance speech, he said: "I think that it is a good time for those who voted for the ban against gay marriage to sit and reflect and anticipate their great shame and the shame in their grandchildren's eyes if they continue that way of support. We've got to have equal rights for everyone!"[51]
Haiti Relief Efforts Following 2010 Earthquake
After the 2010 Haiti earthquake, Penn founded the J/P Haitian Relief Organization,[52] which has been running a 55,000 person tent camp.[53] Due to his visibility as an on-the-ground advocate for rescue and aid efforts in the aftermath, Penn was designated by president Michel Martelly as Ambassador-at-Large for Haiti, the first time that a non-Haitian citizen has been designated as such in the country's history. Penn received the designation on January 31, 2012.[54]
Pakistan
Penn gained significant attention in the Pakistan media when he visited Karachi and Badin in 2012. On 23 March 2012, he visited flood-stricken villages of Karim Bux Jamali, Dargah Shah Gurio and Peero Lashari in Badin District. He was accompanied by US Consul General Willian J. Martin and distributed blankets, quilts, kitchen items and other goods amongst flood survivors.[55][56] On 24 March 2012, Penn also visited Bilquis Edhi Female Child Home and met Pakistan’s iconic humanitarian worker Abdul Sattar Edhi and his wife, Bilquis Edhi. He also laid floral wreaths and paid respect at the shrine of Abdullah Shah Ghazi.[57][58]
Release of Jacob Ostreicher from Bolivian prison
Penn is believed to have played a role in getting American entrepreneur Jacob Ostreicher released from a Bolivian prison in 2013, and was credited by Ostreicher for having personally nursed him back to health upon his release.[59]
