So Why Didn't SNL Air This Parody of the Hagel Confirmation Hearing? - Updated



Is it more tasteless than many SNL skits?  No.

Is it anti-Semitic?  It pokes fun at the obsequiousness of U.S. Senators when it comes to the country of Israel and its governments, so I don't think so.

There are a number of articles up about the pulled skit, with the video embedded in some:

Mondoweiss

Huffington Post

The Daily Caller

Breitbart erroneously reported that the skit was aired.

Update - 4:00 pm:  The Times of Israel headlines their article on this Unaired Saturday Night Live skit parodies senators’ full-throated support for Israel during the Hagel confirmation hearing 

heh ...
