That Barney Frank imitation was hilarious, as were all the deadbeats and crooks who thought the crisis was anybody’s fault but their own. Plus crazy-eyed Pelosi. But to me, that Frank imitation was the topper.

It was working on this link a while ago, but it may be overloaded with traffic.

Yeh, I wondered what happened to it. I saw in on the NBC website yesterday morning, then went looking for it last night and I could not find it anywhere. Every link for the video was “conveniently” unavailable.

Hmmmm .. ;)

I wonder if this pivot, totally remarkable for SNL, does open the door for Sarah coming on to do her Tina Fey impression.

If anyone is looking to save this file simply do the following:

Remove: ?action=view&current= from the address bar then hit enter. This will save it as a .flv file.

Since Windows Media Player does not play FLV without add-ons, here is a FLV player that will play the clip after download available free from:

Would that be a relative of COL James Pritzker ARNG (RET)?

COL Pritzker is a great friend of the military (started the Pritzker Military Library in Chicago) and is definitely not liberal.

Humor can be used to destroy liberalism if if if the liberals were really tolerant toward other ideologies. The film, American Carol seems fit to do this too.

Thanks for the link. I’m sure it will be gone shortly, so I finally watched it.

Man, is there horrible acting on SNL these days! YIkes. Boy, they portrayed President Bush the way a lot of conservatives see him, as a toothless punching bag of the democrats.

The audience didn’t seem to like the Soros bit. I imagine quite a few of them contribute to his pet projects. Hopefully, at least one person had a moment of clarity.

And that was one of the better SNL skits I've seen in years, believe it or not!

The audience didn’t seem to like the Soros bit. I imagine quite a few of them contribute to his pet projects.

I think it's more likely the young and stupid audience didn't even know who George Soros, Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi and the Sanders are. Yet they'll all go out and vote for Obama next month...

Ugh. I am sure you are right. Just ugh.

I have to be honest... I didn't know who the Sanders were (my husband 'educated' me). But I certainly won't be voting for Obama! ;-)

From the screencap, I think it is very likely that the skit was pulled due to pressure from the Sandlers.

They would not be considered to be “public figures” which could open SNL to legal action and the description in the lower third “People who should be shot” could be considered a direct threat.

Maybe we can sell copies of this contraband when the dollar collapses!

The clip worked fine for me in both IE and Firefox. Now if I could just find a copy of the SNL skit skewering the NYT from a couple of weeks ago. We couldn’t watch this last episode of SNL here, because NBC is no longer carried by Time Warner here. No great loss, though.
