A righteous warning from SNL: GOP irrelevancy

 Most of the time, Saturday Night Live is absolutely tone deaf when it comes to putting its finger on juicy satire of the political right. But now and again they hit it out of the park.

 Consider this skit from last night featuring Dan Akroyd poking fun at the Republican "think tank" assessing President Obama's popularity and other current events. At one point, a heated argument takes place over who's smarter, Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh.

 I don't care who you are, this is funny stuff. And, uncharacteristically for SNL writers, very true. Republicans as they exist today are in danger of the irrelevancy suggested in this SNL skit.

 I suggest every Republican strategist view it and learn from it. Of particular note, I'd warn, is the crack about the GOP's "big tent."

 And, as a complete sidebar, I must say it was good to see Dan Akroyd back on television. I wish he were on more.
