Waiting for results? O Brother

What do Star editors do to recharge their mental batteries during the campaign season? One way has been to keep a DVD of the Coen Brothers 2000 movie, O Brother, Where Art Thou? handy.

A running subplot concerns a political race in Mississippi. In one scene, the incumbent is discussing his failing fortunes with his aides while sitting on the front porch of the governor's mansion. It's decided that the challenger, who is employing a midget with a broom and is vowing to sweep out the corruption at the capitol, has superior tactics. At one point the two staffers discuss how their boss is gonna lose:

Pappy's Staffer 1: The reason he's pullin' our pants down.
Pappy's Staffer 2: Gonna paddle a little behind.
Pappy's Staffer 1: Ain't gonna paddle it - gonna kick it, real hard.
Pappy's Staffer 2: No, I believe he's gonna paddle it.
Pappy's Staffer 1: I don't believe that's a proper characterization.
Pappy's Staffer 2: Well, that's how I'd characterize it.
Pappy's Staffer 1: I believe it's more of a kickin' sitcheyation.

Priceless. It's a classic scene, guaranteed to raise a chuckle.
