I almost *never* watched SNL (working weekends); and this was actually one of the very rare occasions when I did. I remember watching and thinking 'WTF?!? That wasn't really very funny...'; and then forgetting about it for a couple of days. The political impact of her protest completely escaped me that night.
After learning what it was about, I remember at the time feeling that Pope John Paul II didn't deserve the vitriol from her, 'cuz hey- he's just a nice old guy, y'know? But at the same time, I was uncomfortable with how the media was just dissing her and dismissing her out of hand.
