Mr. Bloggy Reacts To Brannon Trial

Mr. Bloggy: This entire travesty, this carnival of horror, this pool-slide into the dark, squalid underbelly of small town politics, just reeks of such a loathsome lusting for power, such an unwillingness of accept the word of the people, to lawyer up on a broken old nag of a justice system that it is like walking into the police chief's office in Mayberry, RFD and seeing ole Andy dressed in black stiletto heels, black fishnet hose with whore-red garters attached to his latex and metal stud black bustier, a big scarlet wig, thick harlottish mascara, purple metalflake lipstick and he's sitting on the naked back of poor Barney Fife who has a horse bit jammed in his mouth and reins held high above him in the left fingernail polished hand of Andy while his right whips a German riding crop on a yowling Barney's right buttock and over in the corner …. omg … and over in the corner is Floyd the Barber dressed in a Sea Lion costume and smearing raspberry jam all over his face and ears while singing in a horrifying voice songs from The Barber of Seville. Make.it.stop.mommy. I'm.scared.

Question: Does the Brannon election challenge have a Mayberry RFD feel to it?
