Eh. Old news. (but I have the original uncut SNL skit on WMV.)

Herb and Marion Sandler are private citizens and not public figures. I think the threat of legal repercussions is exactly why their bit was cut.

Of course, stating (if even in jest) that they should be shot didn’t help.

But this SNL skit was the best thumbnail sketch of the rampant congress critter manipulated corruption and malfeasance I’ve ever seen!

Why is the media not apoplectic with ‘enron like, frog march’ outrage for the trillion dollar flagrant fleecing of freddie and fannie’s stock holders – the American tax payer??

Maybe their legs are still tingling.

I dont even think there was a serious threat of a lawsuit, The lawsuit was put up to save face to SNL so they could fire one shot to say they did not surrender to BO and the DNC on its own, SNL used to be cutting edge now its “cutting ” edge

This is the kind of cowardice that will allow Obama to rule unimpeded. Free speech? Uh, I dont think so. NBC capitulated immediately, as will all spineless media outlets. I cant believe that SNL had the cajones to air it in the first place. It was supposed to be a joke, and it mirrored the truth so clearly….no wonder it had to be taken out.
