What'd you think about this draft from yesterday?How over-the-top can your actor go? Can he scream and whatnot? Like, could he emulate a scream of sexually-charged savagery?

How about this, subject to whatever revisions we come up with?
Context is Crucial
[black screen]
[appears] The following video depicting Andrew Breitbart with a goat...
[video appears of Breitbart apparently having sex with a goat]
Breitbart: Come on, come on... yeah... come on...
[appears] ... was presented without appropriate context.
[Back to Breitbart and goat, different angle, Breitbart is pushing goat out of the way of a bus]
Breitbart: Come on... almost there...
[Bus goes by]
Breitbart: Thank God. I wouldn’t have been able to live with myself in the knowledge that, by failure to act, I had allowed harm to come to another living thing.
[Breitbart turns to goat]
Breitbart: Anyway, I’ve been thinking for a while about what you’d said... about rediscovering ourselves. Maybe... maybe I’m still trying to discover myself for the first time. [chuckle] But, look... what I’m trying to ask you, is - [pulls out tickets] Do you want to try for Paris again this year? [Sly smile spreads]
[Switch to shot of goat’s face; tears trickling from eyes]

Ok, one more iteration (oh, funny or die may be paying for this now, not sure, but again, if they don’t we will be anyway):
What if we tried a breitbart seen from 4 different angles, and the tagline is: no matter how you look at it, andrew breitbart fucks goats.
Other one would be to do a version of from one angle, he was fucking a goat, but from the other angle he was shoving the goat across the road before it got hit by the bus (the jump cut would be ridiculous but that’s part of the joke.)
Could you take a crack at the latter?
Fucking RAMTHA, that’s some strong stuff.
Oh, and your RS friend is going into will ferrell’s company to talk about his book this week, and they are working with jason george over there. Let’s think about how your book turns into a doc with SOME EDGE and maybe pitch it there?

I think it ends: “Andrew Breitbart: fucked up. Even in context.” punches the joke harder. Which still made me snarf.

If we can find a clip of Gilbert Gottfried at the 2001 Hugh Hefner roast making fun of Ice Cube by yelling "I'm gonna follow you white motherfuckers home and rape you fucking white bitches," we could splice it over a shot of MLK's "I have a Dream Speech" and then go straight into crowd applause. This could be the whole bit, or it could follow a minute or so of more subtle editing of MLK's own words. The Gottfried clip used to be up on the web but I can't find it now.

I could write up a quick sample script for you this afternoon if you'd like.
Another idea would be to have him showing a bunch of clipped old YouTube pieces that have had their meaning entirely changed in various comic manners and then having him dismiss all objections? I could go through YouTube and rearrange old MLK clips to make him sound racist, etc.
Still, sounds like you're already moving on the goat bit, so let me know if you'd like me to give that a shot.

Just finishing up Richard Cohen: The Crushining, Part V. it’s really good. Obviously it’s going to be a six way tie for last, but it’s still possible to maybe squeeze a tiny bit of shale-oil hate extra out for ‘ol richard.
So, I’ve got a couple of clients who are into the idea of doing an “Andrew Breitbart fucks goats” piece. Imagine basically a bit of andrew on camera clearly hammering away at a goat from behind.
But then context! When seen the from the other angle andrew was really helping the goat! Maybe unstopping a constipated one or something. The whole fucking thing was just edited so you didn’t realize he was doing the very opposite! THE IRONY!!!
Then maybe the goat shits all over him. Exeunt.
Basically I want to do this no matter what, but may have some people who want to take it and distribute it. It needs to be funnier than I’m capable of writing, short (probably 1:30 total at most) and easy to shoot (that I do have taken care of, including a guy who does an excellent breitbart).
Any thoughts are appreciated.
