SNL Launches Politics Microsite

Hooray, SNL finally understands the internet! First it was Fred Armisen's blog, then it was the "Laser Cats" video game, and then there was the huge, giant leap of embeddable video, finally bringing SNL into the post-YouTube clip-deleting era of multi-platform online dissemination. Now, they take it one step further with the launch of what is really a whole new site: "SNL Politics," NBC's equivalent of Comedy Central's "Indecision 2008" in its blatant capitalization on popular pre-existing TV material as a vehicle for an online entity.
