RedState: Conservative News and Community —

Why The SNL Bailout Skit Video We Ran Earlier Is ‘No Longer Available’
Pat Dollard | Young Americans —
... was to blame, and who was wrongly getting blame. Named names, and that’s the problem. But bring on those skits insinuating incest between the Palin daughters and their dad Todd … Yeah, those are okay.
The writer of the skit, Jim Downey, as noted by Ace Of Spades, is not a flaming liberal over at SNL, and some of the only good skits they have had he has written. Ace believes it was yanked to stop it from going viral.
Michelle Malkin smells a Soros rat.

SNL Bailout Skit Pulled from NBC Website. Why?
Flopping Aces —
... American Thinker:
NBC has pulled the video off the internet and is deleting comments on its message boards asking about it.
Seems as if the players over at Saturday Night live might read American Thinker. This weekend they ran a skit that mentioned the fall of Wachovia, the finance crisis and the roles of Herb and Marion Sandler and George Soros (who they identified as the owner of the Democratic Party).
Michelle Malkin has a theory as to why the video was pulled.
The skit is funny because there’s some actual ...
The missing SNL bailout skit — Not so Funny Anymore
Mudville Gazette —
Michelle Malkin has a theory.
One of the rapacious couples featured in the skit was Herbert and Marion Sandler (portrayed by Darrell Hammond and Casey Wilson). Unlike the other composite figures, the Sandlers are a real-life couple.
Also lampooned: Left-wing billionaire George Soros.
As Todd Thurman at Heritage notes, the Sandlers are left-wing moguls who built “a mortgage company whose major product was subprime mortgages and they sold it to Wachovia for $24.2 billion in 2006. And what do the Sandlers do when they are not ...

... better! The article is now gone. But at the same URL is a different story by a different writer. Patterico got screen shots of the original one though.
Meanwhile, SNL did a skit this weekend about the bailout, which was actually shockingly accurate and fair, including implicating George Soros and Democrats in general. But you can’t watch the video of that skit now because it’s gone, gone from YouTube and Hulu and the NBC video page.
Malkin has screenshots and the transcript of the skit, and also a theory: Soros made some phone ...
The Forbidden SNL Soros/Sandler Skit
FullosseousFlap's Dental Blog —
... NBC is furiously erasing its tracks. Any attempts to upload the forbidden SNL bailout skit skewering George Soros and his left-wing subprime schemer friends Herbert and Marion Sandler will likely be squashed. So, I transcribed the whole comedy sketch for you and provided screenshots for the 7-minute video that has disappeared from NBC and Hulu. ( ...
The Dispossessed
The Poor Man Institute —
... old competitive capitalism has been gradually undermined by socialistic and communistic schemers; the old national security and independence have been destroyed by treasonous plots, having as their most powerful agents not merely outsiders and foreigners as of old but major statesmen who are at the very centers of American power. Their predecessors had discovered conspiracies; the modern radical right finds conspiracy to be betrayal from on high.

No Making Fun of Democrats!
The Jawa Report —
October 07, 2008 No Making Fun of Democrats! Even if what you make fun of is true . I'm not sure. NBC is pathetically online stupid. They won't run more than two SNL videos in their own site, let alone youtube. As if somehow if they keep the vids to themselves somehow millions of people will just magically stop screwing and tune in to SNL again. Rather than be smart , let the vids go and get what free attention they can get. IMO its just NBC being stupid. Add to that you insult George Soros and Barney Frank with the truth . It just becomes "more urgent stupid' on NBC's part. ...
MIDDAY ROUNDUP

... at Commentary contends that Obama’s connection to Ayers on school reform is certainly fair game if Palin’s views on creationism are worth exploring. A SNL sketch poking fun at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), as well as big-time Democratic donors George Soros and Herbert and Marion Sandler, has mysteriously disappeared, and Michelle Malkin suspects it may be due to phone calls from Soros and the Sandlers. The skit accurately blamed Democrats for the current financial crisis, says ...

This kind of activity leaves one to wonder what kind of people are so afraid of being exposed in a comedy skit? *cough*Soros*cough* No one tried to limit freedom of speech or freedom of comedians and actors when it came to some pretty awful jokes and accusations aimed at John McCain and Sarah Palin. But don’t you dare aim your humor at the democratic Congress or Presidential candidate. Those things aren’t allowed in the New World Order those who hope he is elected want us to be subjected to. ...

... DIDN’T MEET OUR STANDARDS. WE TOOK IT DOWN AND MADE SOME MINOR CHANGES AND IT WILL BE BACK ONLINE SOON.”… NBC sources say the objection has to do with the caption underneath the two mortgage-backed securities investors who made off with billions, which reads: “People who should be shot.” The same sources say the video will be edited to remove that language and returned to the website. That was the caption that appeared during the segment with the Sandlers, lending credence to the boss’s theory that a few well-placed phone calls from their lawyers might have made SNL ...

SNL Bailout Skit Redux
PoliGazette —
... Early last week, several commentators were wondering what had become of the skit on the previous Saturday’s SNL where they parodied the aftermath of the bailout bill passage. Many copies of the skit were removed from YouTube on request of NBC, and it disappeared from their website. Theories about this turn of events ranged far and wide, with
Michelle Malkin suggesting
that NBC had gotten pushed around by George Soros for the moniker he received during the skit, “Owner, Democratic Party.” The truth, it seems, lies in another part of that skit. ...
