Rating: - Hurry and put this gem on DVD
This 2000 election was the first one that my young son was "forced" to pay attention to, so he could get news savvy and used to the dark world of politics.
We couldn't have chosen a better election, because SNL had us all in stitches between the imitation of Al Gore's "lock-box" speech, to George Bush's word-wrangling, and so much more. Needless to say, this 'hanging-chad' of an election left my son with the impression that politics are hilarious and not as boring as he first thought.

The SNL Presidential Bash is the funniest collection of skits based on a theme (e.g. Halloween, Christmas, specific cast members). Even though all of the Clinton skits are missing(the anthology was produced during the 1992 election), the video contains skits that are funny even if you have superficial knowlege of politics. The video spans from the early years to the golden years (Carvey, Hartman, Farlye, et al.). In the early years, Chevy Chase interprets the bungly President Ford and Dan Akroyd plays a President Carter who knows exact details of every insignificant thing.
