Pulled from NBC's website; yanked from YouTube.
Every Palin skit still readily available.
What a strange coincidence.

Media conspiracy in favor of Obama. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.
SNL is just satire and they have no political motivation.
:rolleyes
the video may not be available, but Rush played the audio on his show today and it was VERY funny! He will have a link to it on his website.
When those two guys were talking about how they met the "criteria" for sub-prime loans, I was laughing out loud!
I saw it and it was hilarious. I have complete bi-partisan humor. :lmao
It's available here: http://www.mininova.org/tor/1885620
I loved it.
I thought Mark Wahlberg talking to animals was funnier.
I didn't know they did a skit on that.
I wish I could find the link somewhere.
I've never really been a fan of SNL, but of the bits I've seen, I can tell that show has lost its luster over the years.
The Palin skits are HILARIOUS though...I could watch those over and over.
Tina Fey really nails that role!
it was funny as hell......they needed to do it.

NBC Edits ‘Saturday Night Live’ Sketch
By BRIAN STELTER
NBC has taken the unusual step of editing the online video version of a “Saturday Night Live” skit.
Two characters in a sketch about the Congressional bailout are no longer labeled “people who should be shot” in the revised version of the video, which was posted online Tuesday evening. Those two characters represented actual people, Herb and Marion Sandler, who sold subprime loans to Wachovia.
NBC abruptly removed the skit from its Web site on Tuesday, prompting some bloggers to surmise that the network had come under pressure to make it disappear. The sketch, which portended to be a C-SPAN press conference with “victims” of the financial crisis, assigned some of the blame to Democrats.
Explaining the move, NBC said in a statement: “Upon review, we caught certain elements in the sketch that didn’t meet our standards.”
The couple had expressed their anger to Lorne Michaels, the executive producer of “SNL,” who told the Los Angeles Times that he did not realize the characters were real people until Monday. “When I spoke to them, I can assure you this: They are very, very real,” he said. “I think they were angry, I think distraught, I think they were not expecting to turn on the television and see that.”
He said the couple did not specifically request that changes be made to the video. Nonetheless, the graphic and a reference to “corrupt activities” were removed from the Internet video.
In the sketch, the character playing Mr. Sandler says: “My wife and I had a company which aggressively marketed sub-prime mortgages and then bundled them as securities to sell to banks such as Wachovia. Today our portfolio is worth almost nothing, though at one point it was worth close to $19 billion.”
The host of the press conference asks: “Were you able to sell it for anything?”
“Yes, for $24 billion,” the character responds.
The case demonstrates that “SNL” sketches on television may be fleeting, but once they are uploaded to the Internet, the scenes have a long shelf life.
Saying someone should be shot is a nono in this day and age. Not surprising they'd have to change it so much as it's surprising that it was used in the first place.
Saying Mr Palin is fucking his daughters hahahahahaha
Joking about someone getting shot nonononononono
Kevin Nealon did the best Weekend Update IMO
Chevy Chase > Dennis Miller > Norm McDonald > Kevin Nealon
Couldn't disagree more. I never saw Chase do it because I was too young but Nealon's deadpan was the best on the show.
If that's the only part they edited, I don't see anything wrong with that. Especially considering those people were real people. But I saw the actual skit and it was pretty funny IMO. SNL makes fun of both parties. If you watch it consistently you will realize that.
I'll take "the rapists" for 200, Alex.
Is this the super-secret, banned for life conspiracy skit?

SNL needs to hire this dude...
Is Amy Poehler's hair supposed to look that bad?
SNL is just plain unfunny.
Just watching it now, I must admit there were moments I did, but yeah, can't say I laughed.
Just curious how come they don't crack Joe Biden or Obama jokes.
I mean, they don't have an agenda or are supporting either candidate duh
