Big Brother Soros got to someone at SNL. Ya think?

People joke that Obama is the antichrist. I think they're full of it. It's George Soros.

[Carry_Okie]

Good call, I wondered about that too.

[Terriergal]

Boy, they portrayed President Bush the way a lot of conservatives see him, as a toothless punching bag of the democrats.

He's getting to be that way. He cooperates with them too much and they turn around and flay him.

it’s still there!

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.

bingo

You got that right!

And I want to thank the operators of that link for making it easy to save the video to our hard drives/DVDs

Barney Frank to SNL: Weight just a minute!

http://news.bostonherald.com/track/inside_track/view.bg?articleid=1123929&srvc=home&position=also

You can blame him for the mortgage meltdown, but don’t call him fat!

That’s the word from U.S. Rep. Barney Frank, who said that, sadly, he missed the “Saturday Night Live” sketch the other night during which Fred Armisen parodied the not-so-silver-tongued congressman.

“My only problem is when the guy who plays me is too fat - then I get upset,” Frank quipped, adding that he considered former “SNL” impersonator Horatio Sanz too portly to portray him.

Although the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee missed the weekend skit - during which he and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are skewered for the economic crisis - Frank said “SNL” has spoofed him before. And he doesn’t usually mind the attention.

The Newton Democrat, who was in town yesterday for a foreclosure-prevention forum at The Colonnade Hotel, was on a plane when “SNL” aired the seven-minute sketch. So he didn’t catch Armisen - who put on gray hair, thick glasses, a frumpy suit and Frank’s speech impediment - addressing the Wall Street bailout.

“It’s the fiwst time in eight years in office and pwossibly in your entire wife you’ve demonswated leadership not to menwion human decency,” Armisen told President Bush, played by Jason Sudeikis.

And when Dubya pointed out that Nance (played by Kristen Wiig) foisted the blame for the subprime mortgage mess on Republicans instead of Democrats who blocked reforms, Frank whispered, “He’s kind of wight.”

To which Pelosi replied, “Don’t say anything. He doesn’t know.”

BTW, “SNL’s” sharp political skits - especially those featuring Tina Fey as VP-wannabe Sarah Palin - are fueling a big ratings bounce for the long-running comedy show.

Saturday’s show - with guest host Anne Hathaway and cameos by Fey as Palin and Queen Latifah sitting in on a debate spoof as moderator Gwen Ifill - scored the show’s second-highest audience since 2002.

Fred Armisen, genius as he was a Bwaney, has nowhere near the goopy girth of Fwank.

The amazing thing is that SNL, despite hating Republicans and President Bush, manages to be fairer and often more truthful than the MSM.
They have done more damage to Obama than McCain has.

[STARWISE]

That they did ... as shocking as it is.

You’re welcome.

[presidio9]

Dennis Miller was being interviewed a couple of weeks ago, and he asked how he saw the Sarah Palin skits, since he’s a Republican. He said that they were very funny, but he also said something to the effect of “Hey, Lorne Michaels is a lot closer to me politically than most of the people on the show. He doesn’t have an agenda, he’s just trying to make people laugh.” Bill Clinton is no longer the biggest name in politics, and they still make fun of him virtually every week.

[Enchante]

Maybe it’s Clintonista revenge upon Soros and friends for backing Obama. That may be our best hope for getting this stuff out, if the Clintonistas are trying to clear the ground for 2012. Surely with Bill’s contacts they know a lot more about this than anyone in the media.

Pandering to Pelosi: NBC, SNL Pull Bailout Skit Video to Please Dems

By Debbie Schlussel

On Sunday, I posted video clips of two skits from the previous night's "Saturday Night Live."

One video, about the Bailout, mocked Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, and--to some degree--George W. Bush. It included examples of all the irresponsible, selfish people we're bailing out. The second video, from SNL's prologue, was a parody of the Biden-Palin debate which, while slightly mocking Joe Biden, was overwhelmingly against Palin.

Yesterday evening, readers began e-mailing me that one of the videos no longer exists. That's because the liberals at NBC and SNL pulled it under pressure from liberals and Congressional Democrats.

Take a quick guess which of these videos NBC pulled?

If you guessed the bailout video, you know your NBC.

So, if NBC and SNL are embarrassed by their excellent portrayal of Pelosi, Frank, and "the Bailout Kids", and are willing to now suppress it, why not be fair and do the same with the anti-Palin video? Because they're not fair. They're biased, and they're liberal.

Frankly, I thought both skits were funny and I believe in openness and free speech.

So I say to NBC: Free the Bailout Video. Or, at the very least, be fair and dump the Palin-Biden debate sketch, too.

But don't hold your breath for the Peacock Network to do so. This peacock doesn't change its feathers.

FYI .. it's been taken off youtube:

Can you please tell me what steps I need to take on my computer in order to save it to a DVD?
