Crazy stuff happening all around! Videos, blog posts and news stories are disappearing down the memory hole faster than pocket-watch-carryin’ White Rabbit on crank! Patterico was watching one such news story, the one that presented yesterday’s comments by John McCain while conveniently leaving out the link that McCain made between Obama and the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac crisis.

UPDATE x2: Upon closer inspection, the new story isn’t “rewritten” — it is a completely new story, by a different author, at the same URL. They sent the first one down the memory hole.

It never happened. Understand? It never happened.

And over at Malkin’s blog, the missing SNL skit that lambasted Pelosi and Frank along with George Soros and the left wing moguls, the Sandlers.

The video has been pulled. Vanished into thin air. (Go here for full transcript and screenshots.)

Where did it go and why?

I have a theory.

One of the rapacious couples featured in the skit was Herbert and Marion Sandler (portrayed by Darrell Hammond and Casey Wilson). Unlike the other composite figures, the Sandlers are a real-life couple.

Also lampooned: Left-wing billionaire George Soros.

As Todd Thurman at Heritage notes, the Sandlers are left-wing moguls who built “a mortgage company whose major product was subprime mortgages and they sold it to Wachovia for $24.2 billion in 2006. And what do the Sandlers do when they are not peddling subprime garbage? They are busy writing checks to leftist groups like the Center for American Progress, the American Civil Liberties Union, and Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN). Yes that ACORN.”

The Sandlers are seething over the skit. And George Soros must be livid as well. Anyone else smell a legal threat behind the disappearance of the vid?

The Left continuously screams about their loss of rights, their freedom of speech being infringed, that they don’t have the opportunity to get their opinions heard on talk-radio, etc. They want The Fairness Doctrine to be reinstated, because they know that will kill any and all outlets that say or print ideas and information they don’t want aired or shared.

The memory hole — to the Left, it’s a wonderful thing!
