I realize it may seem odd to actually go to the SNL website to watch SNL videos, but hey, call me crazy.
Guess what? They never pull them off that sight. Hmmmm...wonder why? Even ABC's Political Punch site says the SNL "bailout" skit was pulled: On that topic, the video of a Saturday Night Live skit that mocked Frank and criticized Democrats and some mortgage owners for their roles in the housing and financial crisis has been removed from NBC's website, prompting myriad conspiracy theories among the conservative blogosphere.
(You can read a transcript of the skit HERE or watch a version of it HERE.)The skit singled out for ridicule Herb and Marion Sandler, who sold their savings-and-loan Golden West to Wachovia for $24.3 billion in October 2006.
Golden West, critics say, thrived by allowing borrowers to defer the interest on their monthly payments with adjustable rate mortgages, ultimately leaving borrowers with debt they could not afford to pay off.
Sandler spoke to the AP Sunday about his feelings that he's being "unfairly tarred."

ABC'S CHARLIE GIBSON: In each instance, when the Capital Gains rate was dropped, revenues from the tax increased; the government took in more money. And in the 1980s, when the tax was increased to 28 percent, the revenues went down. So why raise it at all, especially given the fact that 100 million people in this country own stock and would be affected?
OBAMA: Well, Charlie, what I've said is that I would look at raising the capital gains tax for purposes of fairness.
