Sunday Diversion: Blago, Burris Get the SNL treatment

We got a pretty good laugh out of last night's Neil Patrick Harris-hosted SNL (though we - and by "we" we mean "I" - were disappointed with Taylor Swift's performance). And, of course, we weren't surprised to see the SNL kids give Blago and Burris the standard treatment. While we still don't get Jason Sudeikis' insistence on giving Blago an accent that he doesn't have, we love the way he portrays Blago as a straight-up asshole. Pretty funny stuff.
