Gov: "Yes sir Mister Bundy! You won't get any trouble from us Mister Bundy!"
Bundy: "And I don't want any liens placed on my land, cattle or properties!"
Gov: "You betcha Mister Bundy! We're sorry Mister Bundy!"
Insurgents: "YOU SEE!!!! ...You SEE how they is harassin' Cliven? MSNBC... Al Sharpton ...Incomplete sentences ...They's a-comin' fer our GURNS!!!!!!"
