Here it is, the 2nd part of my review. I have 5 more sketches to do. Let's get started, I grade on a 10pt. scale 10 being the highest.
BTW: I apologize for being late for my second part of the review.

Cold Opening: Bush Address. This was one of the many great Bush Address sketches out there. I�m glad you included a one-liner about how Bush always does the opening line. The kitten was just awkward and more Bush like a child, personification. But other than that, you managed to pull together a good sketch. Everything with the Hurricanes was A material. so you pulled in 7 out of 10.

Celebrity Poker: Presidential Edition/Kobe Bryant Case: I found the interruptions from the Kobe Bryant case much more effective than the Poker parody. The ending promo for Last Comic Standing was also hilarious. My view is that the interruptions were funny but they took the focus away from the main sketch which was the Presidential Poker bit. I didn�t find as hilarious as the other bits. It did have a couple of 1 liners ie. �I have 3 purple hearts and Nader jokes�. I would have done a separate sketch of the Kobe Case. You could have added to the Poker game with some for more bits. Maybe Bush could have used the deck featuring the iraqi leaders. 7 out of 10.

Weekend Update: Not the best of the season, but still I found some parts really hilarious. The brush-up dancers were a really nice insert. The Alan Keyes was excellent and was probably one the best bits I have seen on WU for most of this summer. The jokes were really out there and kind of flawed especially the crocodile Dundee one. However the Don Pardo announcements was something that if performed live would be funny. But the biggest letdown was Just John Kruk. This was not his funniest material. Michael Moore are starting to fade in my opinion. Overall update grade of 7.5 out of 10.

A Nutter Convention: Now this was some high quality stuff. You have a sketch that has some true originality. I have trouble with originality sketches so I have to give you some credit. You also manage to pay tribute to Jeff Foxworthy�s famous �You Might Be a Redneck� jokes. A lot of great gags have resulted a sketch of 9 out of 10. Best so far.

Honest Ad: Another sketch that lampoons attack ads. I found no flaws with it. It was kind of short, but that�s the appropriate size for it. 9 of 10. I did find the end a tribute to disclaimers out there.

Well, another show down. As we end the summer season. We had a rocky start, but we finished on top. Good luck with everyone�s future ideas as we head into the 30th season. I will also post my nominations for the �Best of� episode.
