This report pretty much echoes my own sentiment after watching Palin last night. She's a great little Teleprompter reader, and she reads the stand-up comedy one-liners fed to her by the McCain speech writing team like a champ, but other than her ability to smirk on cue there wasn't much to brag about in her speech - just 'more of the same' attack lines, interspersed with 'more of the same' applause lines.

It's a measure of the greatness of the film that it could not be made in the politically-correct climate of today.

"Sorry about the 'up yours n******'"
"of course, you'll have the good taste not to mention that I spoke to you."
That movie was pure genius. Brooks' best work by far. I watched it again on a cross country flight to Vegas on my laptop, and it's still as funny as it was back then. It punctured more taboos than any single movie ever, while simultaneously and scathingly pointed out the absurdity of racism.
and blackcat's right - it could never be made today.

The first record, as a tyke,around 1953, that I sang along to was my Dad's favorite that he played all the time. A Frankie 78. On one side was a railroad song (my dad was a railroad guy) called Gandy Dancer's Ball ..the other side was about a Pawn shop on the corner in Pittsburg Pa. ...
Thank you for sparking that memory...
Frankie had that amazing baritone. I miss my Dad..
