A right-leaning disgruntled Republican comments on the news of the day and any other thing he damn-well pleases.
You have got to watch this! This is so very cleaver and laugh-out-loud funny. Saturday Night Live star Victoria Jackson list the radical connections of President Obama and all the while is cute and funny while doing it.

NBC has taken the unusual step of editing the online video version of a “Saturday Night Live” skit.
Two characters in a sketch about the Congressional bailout are no longer labeled “people who should be shot” in the revised version of the video, which was posted online Tuesday night. Those two characters represented actual people, Herb and Marion Sandler, who sold subprime loans to Wachovia. (link)
Comment:
I had forgotten part of the orginal skit! The version I show in the post below has more of the orginal skit than that showing on YouTube and other sites now, but it is not complete. It edits out the offending portion about Wachovia.
This reminds me of how the old Soviet Union used to retouch official photos to remove the images out-of-favor former leaders.
This is hilarious! I think it is very close to representing the truth. As a housing counselor I see many clients who really were victims or people who just made poor decsion, but I also see people like the couple of guys in this skit who represent the undeserving homebuyer.
This is the unedited version. When this first appeared it was widely available then inexplicably the full versions just disappeared and I really had to search to find the unedited version. I am not one who subscribes to conspiracy theories and I am not joining the tinfoil hat crowd, but for some reason YouTube removed the uncut version and now only show a version that removes the best parts. All across the net the unedited version simply disappeared. Watch it while you can. Please endure the 30 seconds of advertisement, the skit appears shortly (I hope).
