I think you see things way too rigidly in terms of "liberal vs conservative."
It is simply easier to make good satire about the current mainstream media and the republican party because they are at such disarray. He did make fun of Kerry, and even of the democratic convention. But it is simply easier (and more popular) to make fun of blowhards like Oreilly, Bush and Hannitty than it is to make fun of Rachel Maddow, Obama and Paul Begala. Cramer? Well, he was just asking for it.
