SNL Skit Pulled - Skit Focused on Wall Street Bailout #pork

Bill Smith, ARRA Editor: I am not a much of a Saturday Night Live (SNL) watcher but when SNL bashes the Democrats and George Soros and their skit get pulled from the Internet, I get interested! You can still watch the SNL skit via the link below. The body slams and reality hit home right after the usual SNL attacks on G.W.; so make sure you stay with the presentation, it gets rather lively -- and even truthful -- on the cause of the mortgage and economic failures.

Hat tip to Cord Blomquist at Open Markets.org:

I can’t embed this because it keeps getting pulled. Thanks to Pat Dollard for hosting this video. This is what SNL should be doing, speaking truth to power. The sketch makes some great points:

Bush warned about Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae long before the Democrats, even though Pelosi has said the opposite and lauded the President’s economic policies

Many home buyers who were affected were horribly under qualified for mortgages

Other home buyers were wealth opportunists who will be OK in the long run

Those benefiting from the bailout are wealthy investors who don’t need a bailout

George Soros is a jerk

Of course it got pulled because it’s too harsh on the Dems and SNL can’t be too harsh on their favorite politicians! Thankfully at OpenMarket.org we realize that all politicians are worth lampooning. Check out the video here! . . .
