Saturday Night Live hasn't been this politically relevant since Chevy Chase's Gerald Ford was tumbling over desks. Not only did Hillary mention the show during Tuesday's debate, not only did her campaign reps spend the week citing an SNL sketch showing members of the press fawning over Obama as validation of the Clinton camp's claims that the media have been unfair to Hillary, but there she was last night, yukking it up "Live from New York!" According to Time, Bill Clinton even telephoned Tina Fey to thank her; he apparently appreciated her ringing on-air endorsement of Hillary ("Bitches get stuff done!") so much he was willing to ignore her assertion that Hillary and Bill "are having exactly as much sex with each other as George Bush and Jeb Bush are." Will Bill's splenetic performance on the campaign trail this year prompt an SNL sequel: "Dick in a Ballot Box"?

Either Obama or Clinton would be far better than Bomb Bomb McCain and his party of snaggle-toothed dinosaurs. But when substance is similar, style matters.
