Hurricane Chris Been Had My Vote

This is easily my favorite thing in awhile. How could it not be? Hurricane Chris singing "Halle Berry (She So Fine)" on the floor of the Louisiana House of Representatives. Incredible.

Did you know this was actually the basis for Mr. Smith Goes to Washington? It's true*. In the future, someone sees this video on SpaceTube, gets the idea for Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, uses their time machine to go back in the past, KILL HITLER, and then writes the screenplay for the 1939 Academy Award winning film. Then they celebrate at the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance. Of course, due to racial intolerance in the country at the time, the writer will have to make Hurricane Chris into a white camp leader for the Boy Rangers. But everything else is almost directly taken from this video, which is why film scholars have been puzzled for years when Jimmy Stewart proclaims in the film's dramatic fillibuster scene, "In order for a nig like me to spend cash, you gotta bounce like shocks in your ass."

*It's not true.
