    There are larger forces at work against Mr. Lovitz than some of you would believe.

    Gun Control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound - Unknown

    He was so funny as the devil. My favorite episode was The People's Court mockup. He was part of the 2nd best ever SNL cast.

    Carvey keeps it close to his chest. He has said that he enjoys having both sides laugh when he lampoons politicians, so he doesn't want to be obviously on one side or another. It's basically the same way that National Lampoon used to be when PJ O'Rourke was editor. There were attacks on everybody, so you had to be really thin-skinned to take offense.

    Didn't Bush Sr. have Dana Carvey at the White House impersonating him?
