Curious as to how the subprime mortgage mess started?
Here's the unedited SNL skit that is a dead-on satire. NBC pulled it and later re-released a tamer version, doubtless under some heavy pressure.

I caught the original before they changed it ... pretty darn funny. (My Brother-in-Law posted the link)

So now Herb and Marion are the instigators of a major depression, eh? Well it gets Dubyah and his cohort off the hook, I guess.

I made no claims that the facts in the skit were accurate, just that the satire was.

(However, the bit about Barney Frank torpedoing regulations reining in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is 100% accurate.)
