ABBOTT H. HOFFMAN "guy in an Uncle Sam suit simonizing General Motors car. And oO my then he comes on and says, ‘Well one our next gues coming on with a flag shirt and even he says that it's a bit illegai,so not to participate in a crime and yet to allow his say'--you gotta have free speech--'you're going to see him behind a blue shield.’ On it came and I debated with Virginia Grahameracker what's-her-name--one of America's last dinosaurs." (Laughter) "But actually, I guess it proved its point because it was sort of awkward, it was so hysterical their saying ‘You can say anything you want,’ you know, and here blue talks back." (Here itates electronic blipping sound). "CBS is a bunch of blue meanies. Somebody ought to punch them right in their one fuckin eye." (Laughter and clapping) "But...well...you gotta learn how to relate to TV. TV's like part of our real world, an electronic jungle, and if you haven't got two - three hundred thousand dollars to do those stupid, idiotic commercials you gotta devise new ways--ways like the Vietcong. The Vietcong don't sit and bitch ‘cause they don't have any B52 bombers. They get a fuckin hunk of bamboo, they carve the end, they make the end of it into a point, they put some shit on it, they put it in a fuckin hole, and some U. S. military oye machine comes by and just goes ‘Ah!! They're fightin' dirty! Dirty fighters!' That's what they said about us in the court--fightin' dirty! 10
