Hey Thanks Buddy - I keep a pic of Hedley Lamar in my locket.
I’ve thought about doing a big thesis on how Blazing Saddles foretold are current political situation… but I couldn’t quite get it right - heres what I got.
!!!Spoiler Alert!!!!
The dumb, white citizens of Rock Ridge (America) hate their new black sheriff (Obama) but the sheriff tries to help them irregardless and he enlists the help of a worthless old drunk (the Democratic Party) to help him. Together they thwart a nazi whore (Palin) - an incompetent governor (Republican party) - dumb racist cowboys (tea party) and an evil mastermind (rightwing media)
Of course the whole comparison falls apart because Rush O’Reilly Beck can’t hold Hedley’s jock…
so its back to my Finnegans Wake/Cannonball Run II mashup.
