Downey returned to the show in 2000. He continued to write for the show until 2013, pausing only in 2005 to work on a novel. For an October 2000 skit satirizing a recent presidential debate, Downey coined the word “strategery” for then-presidential candidate George W. Bush to say, based on Bush’s reputation for difficulty with public speaking. The word soon began to be used in a tongue-in-cheek fashion by members of Bush’s own administration, as well as by political pundits on both sides, to refer to the Bush administration’s political strategy.
Some have called Downey more right-wing than his self-description, including Shales, who described him in 2002 as “a Republican” and “pretty conservative”. In the Huffington Post, former SNL head writer Adam McKay called Downey “right wing” and an “Ann Coulter pal”.
