I just saw 'Blazing Saddles' on CNNMSNBCBSABC

At least I think it was Blazing Saddles.

The story was a little bit different than the 1974 classic by Mel Brooks. But the plot was the same.

It begins with an idiot governor

And then the governor decided to appoint a black man

I thought for sure the appointment was designed to drive the racists in Rock Ridge out of their minds. But no - it was to drive the senators in Washington DC out of their minds.

Anyway, the new mayor (or was it senator?) heads off to Washington DC. (Or was it Rock Ridge?)

Where they are eagerly awaiting him….

But wait… Things are not looking so good for Sheriff Burris.…

In fact - Harry (Johnson) Reid and the rest of the democrat senators are a little more than just unhappy.

Here's Harry himself….

I fell asleep and missed the rest of the picture. So I'm not sure how this 2009 version ends. It sure seems an awful lot like the 1974 version though. It'll be interesting how this all works out.

He said the Senator is nearer.

LOL

I guess Reid didn’t give Burris a “Laurel and Hardy” handshake?

[massgopguy]

“Up Your’s Burris!”

Obviously sung by Caroline, you know, Kennedy.

This thread gave me a long overdue laugh.

And Hillary says, “They lose me right after the bunker scene.”

[Tijeras_Slim]

Harrumph! Harrumph! Harrumph!

Thanx, I needed that!

Bump for great movie analogy!

They’d seat him if he were Randolph Scott.

[LauraJean]

That’s what I was expecting.

Howard Dean: I want you to recruit every vicious Democrat in the nation. Take this down. 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, sh**-kickers and Methodists!

Dennis Kucinich: [finding pen and paper] Could you repeat that, sir?

[JRochelle]

You have made me curious.

I think I'll watch the original.

[Born In America]

Time to give em a good ol number 6....

Congress is in session, and called to order.

I would be remiss if I didn't ping two very important Freepers when I said this:

"Give the Governor a HARRUMPH!"
