The Forbidden SNL Soros/Sandler Skit – Now Edited and Redacted
Herbert and Marion Sandler – People who should be shot
The Forbidden Saturday Nigh Live skit featuring George Soros, Herbert and Marion Sandler and the pols that enabled them has been reposted as per editing and redaction by NBC.
The original SNL skit is here at Pat Dollard’s blog.
Michelle Malkin posted screens shots and a complete transcript here.And, here is the edited skit as reposted at NBC:
So, why was the original skit taken down and censored?
The company line is that the skit “didn’t meet their standards.”A “Saturday Night Live” skit that skewered President Bush, Democrats, homebuyers and subprime lenders for their roles in the mortgage meltdown was removed from the program’s website because it “didn’t meet out standards,” a spokesman for the show said Tuesday. An edited version of the skit will be re-posted online soon, the spokesman said.
The skit, a parody of a C-SPAN news conference, ridiculed subprime borrowers, housing speculators and Herb and Marion Sandler, the real-life couple who built Golden West Financial into a subprime lending powerhouse and sold it to Wachovia before the subprime collapse. At one point in the skit, the Herb Sandler character says he made $24 billion off the subprime boom. Graphics then appear labeling the Sandlers as “People who should be shot.”
“Upon review, we caught certain elements in the sketch that didn’t meet our standards,” a spokesman for the program said in an e-mail message today. “We took it down and made some minor changes, and it will be back online soon.”
The Left dismisses the FLAP as just “sketch comedy” and nothing sinister. Oh Really?
But, there were MORE than minor changes.
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.â€
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 the involvement of Massachusetts’ Rep. Frank in the Sandler subprime mess…
In the original skit Sandler addresses Frank, saying, “And thank you Congressman Frank as well as many Republicans for helping block Congressional oversight of our corrupt activities.â€
To which Frank replies enthusiastically, “Not at all!â€
Let’s face it folks, there has been “PRESSURE” placed on NBC to edit or even remove the skit. They have resisted because of the overt censorship of the flap but made changes as a remedy when the lawsuits come. And, the will.
The fact is the Democrats, notably Congressman Barney Frank and their left-wing billionaire friends of George Soros and Herbert/Marion Sandler have been complicit in the financial meltdown which is at hand. The skit offered cynical transparency.
The parties involved did not like it and attempted to quash the speech. But…..the SNL skit had already aired.
Now, all of America knows and there WILL BE repercussions.

Day By Day by Chris Muir October 8, 2008 – Are You Experienced?
O’Brien drew criticism from FactCheck.org on September 8, 2008, for making a false assertion during an interview with a McCain campaign spokesperson, claiming that vice presidential candidate Palin, as the governor in Alaska, had slashed the special education budget by 62%,[12][13] when, in fact, she had increased it.[14][15][16] O’Brien was also criticized for these claims by other sources,[17][18][19][20][21] including the McCain/Palin campaign.[22]O’Brien later made another false claim, which was cited as an example of media bias in CNN, when she polled the 32 ‘persuadable’ voters by asking them to indicate, by a show of hands, who they thought won the vice-presidential debate of 2008. O’Brien called the vote an “overwhelming” victory for Biden, however the actual result was reportedly “11 or 12 for Palin, 12 or 13 for Biden (some people are hard to see)”. [23]
And, the same goes for Campbell Brown of CNN. She was a former co-anchor of NBC’s Weekend Today and the daughter of a former Louisiana Democrat State Senator, Secretary of State and Insurance Commissioner.
NBC and CNN are unabashed left-wing homes for BIASED journalists.
So, what else is new?

The Forbidden SNL Soros/Sandler Skit
Flap posted about this Saturday Night Live skit yesterday and embedded the video from NBC. Shortly thereafter the video disappeared.
Pat Dollard has the skit here. Go and watch it before he gets the obligatory CEASE and DESIST letter from the NBC Universal attorneys.
Michelle Malkin has the screenshots and a full transcript.
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. (Pat Dollard’s blog has posted the full clip on its server. Thanks to Ms. Underestimated for the .wmv file.)
The hits on the Sandlers ( “People who should be shotâ€) and Soros ( “Owner, Democratic Partyâ€) occur near the end of the skit.
So much for freedom of speech.
More information on the Sandlers here and their involvement with subprime mortgage loans and Wachovia Bank.
Want to bet whether George Soros threatens NBC Universal with a lawsuit along with the Sandlers? Or will NBC News allow him to explain on Meet The Press?
Flap bets the former.

As the paying customers to the left-leaning media continues to decline…..as the world turns.
Flap foresees a backlash against NBC News and partisan entertainers regardless who is elected President. NBC news now is just left-wing crap all of the time.

Chris Matthews of MSNBC – In The Tank
Is there any wonder why NBC News has sunk in the ratings? In this blatant exhibition of lack of ethics Chris Matthews interviews his daughter with “softball” questions about a supposed non-partisan group of college students.
Yeah right.
His daughter, a University of Pennsylvania student suddenly appears at a rally for a student group Concerned Youth of America in Mississippi (University of Mississippi – Ol’ Miss) – prior to the Presidential debate.
The MSNBC producers provide Matthews cover by saying his daughter asked him to not to disclose her name.
Ethical standards at MSNBC?
Not so much……
Sarah Palin Watch: Conan O’Brien Tells Crude Joke About Bristol Palin
Flap has never cared for Conan O’Brien’s humor which ranges from stupid to moronic. Here he crosses the line and shows his Lefty bias with a personal attack on a seventeen year old girl whose mother just happens to be a conservative Republican candidate for Vice President.
Now, this would not have anything to do with NBC News propensity to be Left-Wing or the fact that O’Brien is a Democrat, now would it?
Talk about transparency.

Sort of like NBC News, you know, the far-left biased MSM outfit, hiring Luke Russert as a correspondent to take his deceased father’s spot.
