Fred, I know we don't normally post comments from someone else's blog, but I beg your indulgence. This is eerily perceptive - and funny as hell. :-D
It's amazing how many lines from that movie work for this campaign. The first question Obama got in Iowa What's a dazzling urbanite like you doing in a rustic setting like this? Explaining the Iowa caucus to newcomers Now, I suppose you're all wondering just what in the heck you're doing out here in the middle of a prairie in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night. Crowd: You bet your ass. Despite setbacks, Mike Gravel stays in the race No sidewindin bushwackin, hornswaglin, cracker croaker is gonna rouin me bishen cutter. Obama's campaign theme He conquered fear and he conquered hate He turned dark night into day Hillary rounds up her operatives I want rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers and Methodists. Ezra Klein hears a speech God darnit...you use your tongue prettier than a twenty dollar whore. Obama after every press appearance Ooh, baby, you are so talented! And they are so DUMB! Obama explaining his post-racial appeal Well, to tell the family secret, my grandmother was Dutch. But Hispanics are skeptical of Obama and his supporters Hast du gesehen in deine Leben? They're darker than us! The party's new reaction to Hillary Shut up, you Teutonic tw*t! The anguish of the superdelegates We've gotta protect our phoney baloney jobs, gentlemen! And of course for the current situation [Obamaramadingdong "dissing" small-town Americans] You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons. Frighteningly true.... God, I miss Cleavon Little. | |
