    Pappy O'Daniel

    Dialog from "Oh Brother where art thou" inevitably comes to mind:

    ----------------

    (O'Daniel): We need a shot in the arm. Hear me, boys? In the goddam arm! Election held tomorrow, that sumbitch Stokes would win in a walk!

    (O'Daniel's son): He's the reform candidate, Daddy. A lot of people like that reform. Maybe we should get us some.

    (O'Daniel): I'll reform you, you soft-headed son of a bitch. How we gonna run reform? We're the damn incumbent! Is that the best you can come up with? Reform?! Weepin' Jesus on the cross.
