Chicks dig cars, or so I've been told. Sports cars especially, right? Unh-unh. Apparently not. Not in this brave new world of ours...
Actor Harvey Korman passed away a few days ago at the age of 81. Perhaps best known as Hedley Lamar (not Hedy...) from Mel Brooks' epic classic Blazing Saddles, I, perhaps unfortunately, can't say that I'm all that familiar with Korman's other work. I can say, however, that his sublime, tongue-in-cheek take-off portrayal of the cliche, antagonistic old west land grabber was enough to make him immortal in my book. As such, I deicded to compile a handful of my favorite Hedley Lamar clips, or at least the ones I could scrounge up on You Tube. Make the jump for the full compilation. Thanks for all the memories and one-liners, Mr. Korman...

Frueters- Krist Kristoferson and Barbara Streisand are disgusted by the lack of artistic creativity and the pompous display of carlessness seemingly aimed at sabotaging Frumpzilla, Inc. says a spokesman for Ms. Streisand's pre-show vomit bucket and Mr. Kristoferson's beard, shaved chest, and man-hands. Indeed, Ms. Streisand's violent perm speaks loudly and is evidently riddled with metaphors of a safe post-Iraq world amidst a jump shot by Kobe Bryant's rapist wit.
Yes, that's a 4 million dollar rock on that little wedding finger, folks. But what about Robert Redford or Nick Nolte, who is the penultimate co-star/love interest to a Barbara Streisand character? To unravel that riddle is to live an enduring life of enchanted endocrinology.

Dukakis '08!!!

And if that doesn't scare the bejesus out of you, well, you've got balls the size of melons. Or you just don't give a shit, which is effectively the same thing. Senator Robert Byrd has accomplished a great many things in his 90 years on this Earth, the last 56 of which he's spent as a United States Congressman and Senator, setting the Senate record for longest term of service in the process. Prior to that he held such illustrious titles as "Exalted Cyclops" and "Grand Kleagle" in some organization called the Ku Klux Klan, but that's a story for another day.
Right now Byrd is President Pro Tempore of the United States Senate, a position which, as noted above, puts him third in line to become President should the proverbial cocky-dooky ever hit the fan. So here's how that could pan out: W (The President) resigns upon seeing his approval ratings somehow dip into negative integers, Cheney's heart finally declares it's had enough of this world, and Nancy Pelosi decides to forgo the opportunity to be President, retiring from politics all together, citing the "F" rating she received from the NRA as "posing too great a risk". Meet President Robert C. Byrd.
Yeah, so hopefully the clip below just captures Senator Byrd on a bad day. I mean, I hate it when people refer to themselves in the 3rd person as much as the next guy, but is that something we really want our President to be crusading about? And as for the Senator from Timbuktu, well, I'll just leave it at that...
We typically don't like to pile on here at Frumpzilla (okay, that's a lie), and we know we just posted about O'Reilly's meltdown the other day, but this is just too good to pass up. By the way, the profanity is truly prolific in this, so if you don't have headphones, or happen to be a tourettes counselor, this clip is extremely unsafe for work. Tread carefully, now break it down!
By now I imagine/hope you've all seen Bill O'Reilly's increasingly infamous meltdown from back in his days as host of CBS' Inside Edition. If you haven't, seek it out, because it's a treat (actually, seek no further than the video clip below). CBS, via the requests of both Bill and Fox News I'm sure, has been battling to keep the clip off of YouTube and similar sites, but you can still find it fairly easily.
The Colbert Report helped us all out last night by covering the story, clip included. What's more, Mr. Colbert himself revealed that he knows what it's like to be in Bill's shoes right now. We all make mistakes, and sometimes those mistakes and the frustration that ensues just need to be taken out on some poor, defenseless crew members who live to make your job easier. Everyone knows that...
Yeah, yeah, we know this is old, and at well over 5,000,000 YouTube views, chances are you've seen it before. But hey, it's Sunday, it's Mother's Day, and I don't have to be at dinner 'til around 7:00, so why not? To all you mothas out there, this one's for you...
Ernie Johnson pulled a "Papa Burgundy" the other night on our boy Charles Barkely. The former Right Guard spokesperson and self proclaimed "Round Mound of Rebound" takes it in stride of course. Probably because he knew he's had it coming, not to mention the whole "It's funny 'cause it's true!" effect. The recent revelation that, by the grace of God Hammer of Thor, an Anchorman 2 may be in the works makes this all the more appropriate.
Clip comes to you coutesy of Odenized. Don't mind the setup, the punchline is worth waiting for. Enjoy...

"The fight started Saturday night after a reception when he knocked her to the floor with a karate kick in the seventh-floor hallway of a Holiday Inn — and escalated when she attacked two guests from another wedding party who came to her aid, police said."
