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.

Very clever analogy...

NOw can you tie the campfire scene with the beans to the hot air eminating from our esteemed leaders in DC?

[antiRepublicrat]

Hilarious!

[mnehring]

LOL, very creative

[CounterCounterCulture]

Clever. :-)

[Constitution Day]

Most excellent!

(One of my favorite movies, BTW)

[Dr. Ursus]

Co-starring Nancy Pelosi as the Botox Kid!

[dblshot]

And weren’t all them Johnsons in Rock Ridge a bunch of Minnasota square heads? Seems they do have a problem appointing office holders.

Candygram for Blago!

"Mornin' Ma'am. Isn't it a lovely morning?"

[Le Chien Rouge]

.......so, can we expect Sheriff Burris to but a gun to his head and tell the US senate that if they do not seat him, the n_____ will get it???//sarc

Great analogy from a terrific movie.......

[bmwcyle]

Great movie.

[Responsibility2nd]

That would be a great scene. But actually I was looking for the scene of the dancing queens getting into that huge fight scene on stage

"Get 'em girls!"

starring Barney Frank.

NOw can you tie the campfire scene with the beans to the hot air eminating from our esteemed leaders in DC?

Democrat Congress: How about some more beans Mrs Pelosi??

Pelosi: I should say you've had ENOUGH!

[TexasCajun]

It's a Cllllassic.

Great post.

[CounterCounterCulture]

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.

***SPOILER***

They end up brawling and busting into a studio where there's a gay dance routine lead by Barney Frank.

Throw out your hands. / Stick out your tush. / Hands on your hips, give 'em a push. / You'll be surprised; you're doing the French mistake. / Voila.

[CounterCounterCulture]

Dang, you beat me to it.

[Political Junkie Too]

Meanwhile...

Obama's tired.
Tired of being admired.
Tired of playing the game.
Ain't it a crying shame?
He's so tired.

Can't you see he's pooped?

[massgopguy]

He said the Senator is nearer.

“But we don’t want the Irish!”

[Tijeras_Slim]

LOL

[dfwgator]

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

[massgopguy]

“Up Your’s Burris!”

[Kitten1]

Obviously sung by Caroline, you know, Kennedy.

This thread gave me a long overdue laugh.

[dfwgator]

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

[Tijeras_Slim]

Harrumph! Harrumph! Harrumph!

[nufsed]

Thanx, I needed that!

[Doomonyou]

What in the Wide, Wide world of sports is a goin’ on here?!?!

[techcor]

Bump for great movie analogy!

[KeyLargo]

[wtc911]

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....

[Sig Sauer P220]

Congress is in session, and called to order.

[Constitution Day]

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

"Give the Governor a HARRUMPH!"

[FlashBack]

Grreeeaaattt Post!!!!

[Constitution Day]

Have you never seen ‘Blazing Saddles’?

[griffin]

ROTFLMBO!!

[exit82]

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.

[Rightly Biased]

“Damn we gotta send someone back and get a passle full of nickles”

[NoDRodee]

How does “hanging the Horse” fit in.

[Ramius]

Randolf Scott!

[bows]

[ModelBreaker]

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.

[ken in texas]

I think I'll watch the original.

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.

Ted Kennedy?
