The Missing Edited SNL Skit:
The Volokh Conspiracy —
The SNL skit on the bailout legislation was temporarily removed from the web so as to edit out potentially objectionable content as well as to protect Rep. Barney Frank, or so it seems from this report . In an interview with Gold, the show's executive producer, Lorne Michaels, said the Sandlers were distraught but had not demanded the changes. He noted the "People who should be shot" line was deleted as was a reference to their "corrupt activities." But a comparison of the two versions shows that actually a little more than that was cut. What also was excised was any mention of ...
How Convenient: Edited SNL Sketch Omits Barney Frank
JammieWearingFool —
Talk about being in the tank for the Democrats. The one time they poke some fun at them and remind the audience who was responsible for the Fannie Mae fiasco, the wimps at NBC succumb to the heat and revise a sketch to omit anything that even remotely implicates Barney Frank.

Ace of Spades HQ —
SNL REPOSTS BAILOUT SKETCH, BUT DELETES "BARNEY FRANK'S" CONFESSION OF COMPLICITY Jesus. Didn't live up to NBC's "standards," huh? Was just taken down because of the "people who should be shot" chyron, huh? Apparently you can smear Bush and Palin all you like, but when you properly nail Barney Frank on blocking crucial regulation, that's "unfair" as far as NBC goes. n an interview with Gold, the show's executive producer, Lorne Michaels, said the Sandlers were distraught but had not demanded the changes. He noted the "People who should be shot" line was deleted as was a ...

In addition, Podesta explained how he would recruit hundreds of fellows and scholars -- some in residence and others spread around the country -- to research and promote new progressive policy ideas.
