Democratic Alabama Senate candidate Doug Jones on Monday took a swipe at his GOP opponent, mocking Roy Moore for pulling out a gun while on stage at a September rally.

“I’m a supporter of the Second Amendment. When you see me with a gun, folks, I’ll be climbing in and out of a deer stand or a turkey blind, not prancing around on a stage in a cowboy suit,” Jones said during a speech.

1. "I can tell by your outfit

that you are a cowboy.
You can tell by my outfit that I'm a cowboy too.
You can tell by our outfits that we are both cowboys,
If you get an outfit you can be a cowboy too."

Sung to the tune of The Streets of Laredo by none other than the Smothers Brothers

[babylonsister]

2. The Smothers Brothers...

Good one!

[MuseRider]

3. Weren't they just the best? n/t

[pangaia]

10. My, are you that old, too?

[SergeStorms]

16. Remember when people....

used to buy comedy records? No one would think of doing that today.

[pangaia]

20. YUP !!! Shelley Berman. Lol

'Pilot says, "we will be landing 15 minutes early."
Well, that worries me. Hell, we can land an hour early if he puts it down in the grand canyon.'


Or something like this.....

'My only fear of flying is coming to a sudden stop......like against a mountain.'

Close, anyway....

But then I also have a few hundred classical and jazz LPs.. maybe 30 operas...

[MuseRider]

28. Ancient! n/t

29. They were, until the tight-ass censors at CBS pulled their show.

Despite its high ratings, and replaced it with Glen Campbell. A 50-year-old example of right-wing jerks silencing criticism of "the establishment."

[MuseRider]

32. I remember being furious

about that. They became heroes to me. So much of what I believe today came out of those times and thinking about it all. I was a kid, Jr. High, I think when that happened. Those were horrible years and it really made me think. Coming from a family that did not even watch the news much, it might be on but they paid no attention to it and never spoke about it, I am surprised how much I learned just from these kinds of episodes.

[VOX]

35. I was about 18 (couldn't vote until 21 back then) and really ticked off.

You're right, starting in 1968, the "fun" 1960's turned very dark: the Tet Offensive in Vietnam, MLK, Jr. and RFK murdered, the My Lai massacre (although not made known until 1969), the Democratic Convention debacle, and the election of Richard Nixon -- to name a few of the major events of a very turbulent year. The Smothers Brothers show got pulled in early 1969.

I was a freshman/sophomore at San Fernando Valley State College (now Cal State University, Northridge), which had some really crazy goings-on which only added to the surrealism of the times. Part of the Administration Building was burned down, there was a police riot on campus in January, 1969 that nearly swallowed me up (if I had fallen, I'd have been trampled badly).

There's a short six-minute video (produced in 1985, the quality is rather poor) that covers the Valley State campus unrest at the time, here:

8. as the punk band the Vandals sang

want to be a Cowboy
I'm going to be a Cowboy
I'm born to be a Cowboy
I want to be a Cowboy
A Cowboy! Uh-huh

Tonight we're taking my fast car
Were gonna go down to the Cowboy bar
I'm gonna wait till the club is full
and I'm gonna ride the mechanical bull

Cowboy look is the one I sought
Can't change now cause the clothes are bought
To be a true Cowboy was my fate
I can't help it if I was born late

All the Cowgirls in their Stetson hats
and their tight fitting jeans so they don't look fat
We'll all be listening to the Cowboy tunes
and stomp around like a bunch of goons

Cowboy look is the one I sought
Can't change now cause the clothes are bought
To be a true cowboy was my fate
I can't help it if I was born late

We're all OD'd on the Olden West
seein' who's Cowboy clothes look the best
I can ride that phony bull so damn good
Sometimes I think I'm Clint Eastwood


I know I'm a Cowboy deep inside
My hat band's made out of synthetic rattle snake hide
After a couple shit kickin' Cowboy movies
I check out the Cowboy scene down at Zubie's

[House of Roberts]

9. Then there was the one:

I wanna be a cowboy,
And you can be my cowgirl

I wonder if that line ever worked for Rabid Roy?

[Pachamama]

26. I learned it the other way around...

I wanna be a cowgirl
And you can be my cowboy...

Yippee yay yeah yippee yo yo

[nolabear]

15. We sang that for YEARS after they did it.

I dontvknow why it was so damned funny but it was. But then so were they.

[struggle4progress]

19. That was a classic!

[TomCADem]

21. The Thing Is That Roy Moore Literally Did What Jones Said He Did...

During a campaign rally, Jones literally pulled out a gun while wearing a cowboy get-up and started waiving it around like a lunatic...

[Zookeeper]

37. Moore is such a nutbar.

Aside from being a proud ephebophile, he's completely clueless about how ridiculous he looks, thinks and acts. BTW, for any RW evangelicals reading: If he was banned from a shopping mall for illegal, predatory, creepy behavior, he should be banned from the Senate.

[BigmanPigman]

4. He looks like an extra from an old Western flick.

Hey Dude...It is time to GROW UP!

[ChazInAz]

5. Funny thing.

That little pistol looks like a cap gun or starter's gun.

[BigmanPigman]

7. I KNOW! I have one that is identical to it, it was originally a lighter!

He is a joke. That pistol must have some sort of Fruedian explanation.

[klook]

41. Derringer. Moore's choice in pistols mirrors his lust objects...

Little and cute.

[KelleyKramer]

11. No, not an extra, the leading role in.... Toy Story!

At least that's what I thought when first seeing the video of that idiot in his costume

[BigmanPigman]

12. Very accurate!

[Botany]

6. He is a goof ball

[Mr.Bill]

13. If he's not trying to pick up children,

why is he dressed like a character from Toy Story?

[MuseRider]

22. You mean.................

Woody?

[YOHABLO]

14. This guy Moore is as mentally ill as Trump. He'll probably win!

[SergeStorms]

18. Unfortunately....

I think you're correct. I have to keep telling myself....it's Alabama, it's Alabama. I know there are a ton of good people in Alabama, but damn......the assclowns get all the ink I guess.

[Dalton Mac]

23. "Prancing"?

Uh, okay!

(Bracing for the "concern" accusations.) LIGHTEN UP ALREADY!

[sarcasmo]

24. When I saw Moore dressed like that, Hee-Haw was my first thought.

[Roland99]

25. Hee Haw was way too good for this cretin!

But I sure wish some “gloom, despair, and agony” on him!

[LongTomH]

27. I recommend sending a donation to Doug Jones campaign

It doesn't have to be a big one; small donations add up. You can donate through Doug's website or the Actblue Page for Doug.

[VOX]

30. Outstanding idea, LTH. Thanks for the link.

On my way over there now.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

31. These guys could teach him some steps

[pansypoo53219]

33. COSTUME. infantile w/ his pea shooter.

[Poiuyt]

34. Did anyone see Hot Fuzz?

[dae]

36. Good point because no self-respecting cowboy would be caught dead waving a Saturday Night Special

handgun around.

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

38. My immediate thought when I saw Moore dressed like that was the old Texas saying,

"All hat and no cattle."

[maveric]

39. I had a Wyatt Earp costume just like his in 1959.

He might have saved his from then.

[relayerbob]

40. Perfect

Time we start mocking, laughing and pointing at the morons and their hypocrisy. Show them who the true snowflakes are, when they all start crying.

[klook]

42. Republicans love fake cowboys

[Roland99]

43. Love this analysis....
