G Dub as Fielding Mellish at the Unity Speech today

[buycitgo]

the first thing I thought of as I watched the First Bufoon further embarrass the OOTPOTUS today was Fielding Mellish's speech before some sort of banquet in the US

in Bananas, Mellish/Allen takes over for the assassinated revolutionary leader of San Marcos and comes to the US on a fundraising mission

the audience for Allen was VERY similar to the one for our First Fool today: totally unresponsive, vociferously silent.

OK, there were a FEW instances of applause/laughter, but most of the applause, and the LOUDEST, by far, were for the REAL, ACTUAL journalists there, who embarrassed their more famous brethren with their most excellent demonstration of what actual journalism looks like.

point is, that speech was as if it were peformed in a MORTuary

with that......Mellish's speech/monologue, which so reminded me of the absurd neolgisms, malapropisms, non-sequiturs, etc., emitted from the Commander in Chimp's oral cavity today:

Fielding Mellish: I am reminded tonight of the...of the farmer who had incestuous relations with, uh, both his daughters simultaneously.... (nervous laugh) it's the (clears his throat), it's the wrong crowd for this joke (nervous laugh)....

Although the United States is, uh, a very rich country and San Marcos is a very poor one, there are a great many things we have to offer your country in return for aid. For instance, there, uh, there are locusts, uh, we have more locusts th-than, uh... locusts of all races and creeds.

These, these locusts are available at popular prices and, and so by the way are most of the women of San Marcos...uh, uh, despite the size of our nation, people fail to realize that we lead the world in hernias, They also fail to realize that before Columbus discovered your country, he, he, stopped in San Marcos and, uh,contracted a disease which today can be cured with one shot of penicillin,uh,....

BTW, I just heard Janeane Garofalo say that Bananas is just about her favorite movie; that she could listen to it every day

1. BANANAS could quite possibly be the best movie ever.

The town I live in is San Marcos, so it has a special place in my heart.

2. it's right up there

some of those scenes are screamingly funny

the one where his girl blows him off

the one where the Castro guy gets that look in his eyes....then says the new language of the country will be...Swedish!

everyone under sixteen years of age is now SIXTEEN!

you will change your underwear every HALF HOUR!

and to be sure you do, all underwear will be worn on the OUTSIDE!

3. translator scene

my favorite scene in Bananas took place when Mellish first arrived in the U.S. ... he was met by several American dignitaries and a translator ...

Mellish would say something (in English) and the translator repeated it to the Americans in English with a Spanish accent ... then the Americans responded and the translator repeated what they said still in a Spanish accent ...
