Lots of folks are buzzing about Tina Fey's weekly appearances on "Saturday Night Live", the ones in which she tees up Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin.

       In fact, many of you might be going to the NBC/SNL website to show it to friends who might've missed it.      The most recent one, in which Fey does Palin at the VP debate, helped spike the show to some of it's best numbers of the season.    SNL will do three half-hour prime-time specials before the election, with the first one happening this week--all to cash in on the show's new-found edge.

       In the course of sharing those Fey moments, you might also be trying to find another pretty funny bit the show did Saturday night--the mock C-Span news conference featuring Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi and President Bush congratulating each other on the economic bailout package hammered out in Washington.      You might be surprised to find out, though, that what you saw Saturday night isn't what you'll be seeing on the network's official SNL website.

       The L-A Times says NBC took the blade to the C-Span bit...here's the link, complete with the story and the before/after videos.    And the paper hints that politics might be behind the edits, although the network denies it.
