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.
Grreeeaaattt Post!!!!
Have you never seen ‘Blazing Saddles’?
ROTFLMBO!!
Well done! All the things you need to know in life you can learn from Blazing Saddles.
“Howdy cowboy. What’s your name?”
“My name’s Tex, ma’am”
“Well, Tex Ma’am, are you in the show?”
” Why, no.”
“Then get your fwiggin boots off the stage!”
35 years ago this February I saw it in the theaters. Laughter for two solid hours. February 1974 was a very depressing month. It was cold, we were on gas lines every other day for our cars, and it was....February. This movie always makes me smile.
“Damn we gotta send someone back and get a passle full of nickles”
How does “hanging the Horse” fit in.

LOL. I suppose Burris’ difficulty through the doors of the Senate is equivalent to the toll-booth in the middle of the desert?
Gotta pay to play. Oops. Harry Reid is officially against that. So he must have turned off the toll-booth :). Or maybe someone else is paying Harry to play.
Have you never seen it?? It's hilarious... poking fun at everything you can imagine. Mel Brooks would never be permitted to make it today.
“NOw can you tie the campfire scene with the beans to the hot air eminating from our esteemed leaders in DC?”
Ted Kennedy?
“passle full of nickles”
Nice save there, cowboy!
Colonel, USAFR
Reverend Johnson: Oh Lord. Do we have the strength to carry on this mighty task in one night? Or are we just jerking off?
Townspeople: Amen.
Reverend: Amen.
Slim Pickens makes me laugh everytime I see that movie
“Dock that chink a days pay”
I guess the Johnson’s could represent the Kennedys.
Now I am depressed!!!! Well do want me to shoot that. . . .
“More schnitzengruben liebchen?”
You know it’s a great movie when just quoting one of the lines makes you laugh!
good ol number 6....

Wow. That phrase excaped me. I had not remembered it. I had to go look it up.
Here is the sanitized version.....
Taggart: Well that’s where we go a riding into town. A whomping and a womping. Every living thing that moves within an inch of its life. Except the womenfolks, of course.
Lammar: You spare the women?
Taggart: No, we rape the —— out of them at the number six dance later on.
Lamarr: Marvelous! That’s so creative.
Baby, I’m not from Havana...
Democratic Congress! All together now..
