Ripping a page out of the Coen brothers’ canon, Arnold Schwarzenegger made an appearance this weekend brandishing a broom and promising sweep Gray Davis out of office.
Not bad, but where’s his “little man”? To wit, here’s Candidate Homer Stokes speechifyin’ in O, Brother Where Art Thou?
STOKES
And I say to you that the great state
a Mississippi cannot afford four more
years a Pappy O’Daniel – four more
years a cronyism, nepotism, rascalism
and service to the Innarests! The
choice, she’s a clear ‘un: Pappy
O’Daniel, slave a the Innarests; Homer
Stokes, servant a the little man! Ain’t
that right, little fella?
The midget enthusiastically seconds:
MIDGET
He ain’t lyin’!
STOKES
When the litle man says jump, Homer
Stokes says how high? And, ladies’n
jettymens, the little man has
admonished me to grasp the broom a
ree-form and sweep this state clean!
