The SNL bailout sketch has been reposted by NBC. I haven’t gotten a chance to look at it, but I assume just the captions have changed. Now if only McCain could argue about the Democrats involvement in this mess as effectively.

Yep. It doesn’t say their names anymore.
Exactly – they just cut the caption and the laugh part. Pity – it was true, after all.
Personally, I’d love to see any salary/comp package for anyone capped at $1 million, with parachutes and expenses for executive parties/etc also capped outright. Anything above $1 million would have to be A) based on profit sharing (so they wouldn’t screw up in the short term) and B) paid in stock they couldn’t sell for 5-10 years (so they wouldn’t inflate and dump like they’ve been doing). The arguments against this hinge around the idea that “we need to pay millions a year to attract real talent”. Ahem. Just how much damn talent have you seen lately in the corporate world? Yeah, me neither. NO ONE IS SO SMART as to justify over $1 million a year, and if they are, they should actually show a profit and long term stability for the company. Otherwise, where is any solid benefit from this so-called intelligence we are paying through the nose for? And don’t get me started on board members. Want to earn more than $1 million/year – show a profit, keep the company stable, and invest what you do make. No new taxes, just keep the money invested in the companies and not in the bloated and incompetent.
No, it also deleted Sandler’s line thanking congress for helping cover up
his criminal activity. At least that what the forums at nbc say, i haven’t watched
it that close and compared to my original copy.
Rush has got at least a partial transcript and some screen captures:
