"The pigs are in the beans." . . . Please come CAPTION Head Wreck!!!!
Edited on Thu Oct-07-10 08:14 AM by skip fox


Head Wreck, sunk in moral carnage, throat thick with burning bile, is saying: "I'm telling you to get out there and vote. Vote in record numbers. Overwhelm their machines!!! . . . But I'm not going to tell you who to vote for. . . . But I'll tell you just one thing: if we don't get rid of the progressives, the Communists, the liberals, the Nazis, and the Democrats this November, then it's goodbye America!!!! . . . It'll be all over. . . . But, no, I'll not tell you who to vote for. . . I have too much respect for you to do that."

1. Is that on video or in a transcript somewhere?

Thanks. I want to post and link directly to his words.

2. At DU CAPTIONing has been a verb. That is, it's creative, but we try to
channel the essence of the person, making the caption truer than true. In this case, I didn't change much of what he said but collapsed it to show the absurdity. The third general screen on Media Matters, at http://mediamatters.org/ , gave me the ideas pretty directly in this case. Usually I have to tweek or torque or exaggerate the words . . . not here. (God help us.)

5. Sorry....I knew you were captioning...

in a creative way.

I just thought this particular instance was indeed repeated almost verbatim and wanted to find the link to it.

I did...it was from the 9/30 show.

Thanks so much, and thanks for your patience.

:hi:

6. Great. It's fantastic when this can be of use beyond the humor.
(Not to say that humor isn't highly valuable in its own right.)
