NBC Censors Itself

*** UPDATE 2 ***

NBC's putting it back up.  After editing out "People who should be Shot" caption from the corrupt, errr they edited out that phrase too, lenders who made a killing selling predatory loans then bundling the debt and selling it to Wachovia, among others.

Apparently, the lawyers were ready to pounce...

*** UPDATE 1 ***

This one's getting all sorts of conspiracists going.  Where's Brick?  Another link to the CENSORED skit here.

Too close to home???

***************

A few posts down ("Pullin' on the Sweater"), I highlighted the words "San Fran Nan" with a link to SNL's acidic takedown of Democratic Congressional leadership, idiotic mortgage borrowers, greedy financial manipulators, and George Soros.

For some reason, NBC took this skit off its own website.  Like it never happened.  Are we in Russia or something?

The skit -- available here -- is GREAT!  It cuts down everyone who played a role in the mortgage meltdown:

   Imbecile GWB?  Check.
   Partisan hack Pelosi?  Check.
   Craven Barney Frank?  Check.
   Insolvent Borrowers?  Check.
   Greedy Arbitrage Artists?  Check
   World Class Financial Manipulators?  Check.

While it's still available, I highly recommend watching.  Then ask yourself why NBC would censor its own biting social commentary?  Why?
