Below is a link to the disappearing SNL skit about Democrats and the bailout. NBC has pulled this video from its website as well as You Tube. It's alleged that the pressure to pull the video came from George Soros and certain democratic leaders.

All Right, who are you and what have you done to the regular SNL staff writers? Clearly this got through the producers when it wasn't supposed to. D'OH! That was too funny.

Did you really expect anything less from NBC and Soro. Liberal media at it's finest.

And I thought nothing could be more hilarious than the actual Democrats.

The video was first taken down from Hulu, which is jointly run by NBC, meaning NBC pulled its own content down from its own media outlet.

Report is (in the comments section) that there was a graphic at the bottom which read, "People who should be shot", has been removed and video should be back up.

What an excellent skit. I'm sure the scumbag Soros (a Hungarian Jew) is whining and sniveling.

The HUD data pretty much tells the story. The number of sub-prime home equity loans increased from 66,000 in 1993 to 658,000 in 2000. Over this same period, the number of sub-prime loans to purchase homes increased 16,000 to more than 306,000.

What that tells you is that most of your sub-prime loans are not for mortgages. They're actually 2nd/3rd mortgages for credit card consolidation, vacations, time-shares, cosmetic surgery and other crap.

Even for sub-prime mortgages that went to purchase homes, about 1/3 of those were investment homes intended to be flipped for a profit, and where they weren't there was lot of fraud. I would home the government would go after and prosecute the homeowners with the same fervor it goes after predatory lenders.

Default Democrats in CA

Wow this is a very interesting feed! Some Californians were even lucky enough to attend the 2008 Democratic National Convention. You can check out the article on Palo Alto High Schools student run website:
