Saturday Night Live Censored

This Just In: It seems that the jolly satirists at Saturday Night Live south of the border just got seriously clotheslined by George Boros, owner of the Democratic Party of the USA. In an amusing skit last week, the crew lampooned Boros and his left-wing subprime schemer friends Sherbert and Maria Handler. In an unprecedented move yesterday, NBC yanked the video of the skit from their Web site, and it is gone from YouTube.

Well friends, God Bless the New Transparency. Some enterprising bloggers snagged the offending clip, and here it is in all its glory. Or if you prefer, a transcript.

Talk Tough Like Mike

•“Look, this is America and you have to decide what kind of country you want. This is your country as much as it is mine.” - 2004
*"Look, if I lose, I'll just move back to Massachusetts." - to the Harvard Crimson newspaper - 2006
*“If you mess with me, I’ll mess with you until I’m done.”
• "You're looking at someone who turned down the chance to become Prime Minister of Canada, and I did so, in part, because I felt it would divide the country."
• “I don’t need any lessons in legitimacy from Harper.”
• “He knows where to find me.”
• "He's creating a parliamentary crisis and dividing the country."
• "It’s his budget, not mine."
• "It's up to Harper to make the right decision and up to me to decide if he made it."
• "We're putting the government on probation."
•"Mr. Harper, your time is up.”
*"This is a prime minister who a year ago was trying to make you embarrassed if you liked opera or classical music or the ballet or poetry. I mean, come on, let's get over this. You can like hockey, you can like classical music. Let's stop playing Canadian against Canadian and taste against taste."
