Soph the vet Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 SNL did a spot-on skit on the bailout last weekend. The video was subsequently pulled from NBC's and youtube websites amidst others. I found it on Michelle Malkins site in the comments section. Allegedly, George Soros made some calls to get it removed from the internet. Who really runs this country? Here it is: http://msunderestimated.com/SNLBailoutSkit.wmv I realize it is satire but even the SNL writers get the real picture of what is going on.

Stacy in NJ Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 That's really strange. They (SNL/NBC) usually make their stuff available freely for the promotion. Thanks for posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazakaal Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I realize it is satire but even the SNL writers get the real picture of what is going on. I think the only ones who don't get the real picture of what's going on are the politicians in Washington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLHCO Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 (edited) I think the only ones who don't get the real picture of what's going on are the politicians in Washington. No, what worries me is the idea that they may very well "get it", I just don't like what they're getting.

Jean too Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Thanks for posting this. I was surprised that SNL was willing to tell the truth (however briefly) about all of this. Apparently, they have folded under pressure from the left and removed this skit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsinkable Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I was watching this video link and as soon as the George Soros character started to talk, the video stopped. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenn in Mo Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 It played fine here. Hilarious but scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doran Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 It played fine here. Hilarious but scary. It's easy to laugh at these actors, but the fact that the reality is really so close to the parody truly sickens me. Still, I enjoyed laughing for the duration of the skit. Thanks for posting it Soph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLHCO Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 The skit is back up on NBC but it's been edited. I have to wonder why though. The excuse I heard for the original pull was because the line below the older couple listed them as "People who should be shot" and they didn't want to inspire violence. They did take those words out but right after that they did a complete cut. That was not cut out because of a fear of violence to those who made money on this ordeal. That was a politically motivated cut. http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/clips/c-span-bailout/727521/ Oooo... Saturday Night Live intrigue!
