Saturday Night Live mocks the Fox News coverage of the 2009 elections and how they implied that they left their mark on the "end of the Obama administration." Hilarious parodies of Karl Rove, Greta Van Susteren and Glenn Beck discuss the Republican victories in Virginia and New Jersey, poking fun at the idea that this could mean the country's permanent shift to the right. Jason Sudeikis (as Glenn Beck) makes an emotional appearance, emphatically stating that "it's safe to come out...loving America is legal again!"
