While always more liberal than not, they've always harpooned all politicians. How far they fall:

The Daily Caller has obtained a scrapped sketch critical of President Barack Obama that was intended for airing at the opening of last night’s “Saturday Night Live” on NBC.


In the skit, President Obama addresses Americans soon after the first anniversary of the killing of Osama bin Laden — and he makes sure to remind viewers that all credit for the raid on the terrorist leader’s compound belongs to him.


“I hope you had a safe and joyous first anniversary of his killing,” the president, portrayed by Fred Armisen, begins.


“Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to be at home this year, as I had to fly to Afghanistan, to remind President Karzai that, exactly one year ago, we killed Osama bin Laden, and that the decision to do so was a gutsy one,” the president continues. “And was mine.”


The president then outlines what gifts are appropriate on the anniversaries of “Killing Osama bin Laden Day,” and reminds his audience that “heavy drinking, and Killing Osama bin Laden Day, are never a good combination.”


The full text of the skit, which was authored by comedian Jim Downey, is viewable below. It is not clear why the skit was scrapped.

Perhaps, because they, too, are afraid of the Chicago Thugs.

Well the Daily Caller got the transcript somehow, my guess it was spiked by NBC management, with the writer being none too happy.

I think it would have been a funny skit. Shame they cut it but it may not have been for political reasons. Probably was.

I'm sure Fox forced them into it.

Probably hit too close to home,and was identical to his up coming campaign plans and speeches.
