The Captain Louis Renault Award

[augietec]

Great actor. Very much enjoyed Claude's work.

[flufrules1]

This was a great scene in a great movie.

Thanx sooo much for posting this classic and yet typical hypocrite performance that we see coming from our "leaders" everyday. Gotta love how life is depicted in the movies!!! It would be even more funny if it were not true!

[MissNormaDesmond]

It's hilarious that whoever posted this link, and most of his friends, apparently, thinks they're being snarky, while not actually getting the point.

[JDSackman]

Meg Whitman definitely gets the "Captain Louis Renault Award."

"I'm shocked! Shocked to find there are undocumented in my kitchen!"

[MasterJay]

Best scene in a movie EVAH.

[Fitchmountain]

Hey folks, what ever happened to commenting about the actual youtube clip posted here!?

I love Claude Rains. He was never better than in this film.

[GoodFastCheap]

@Fitchmountain The clip was posted by a specific user ("Captain" Ed Morrissey of HotAir dot com) for a specific reason (to mock hypocritical liberals). Therefore, any comments to that end are on-topic.

[LODGE4444]

@GoodFastCheap What's a hypocritical liberal ?? conservatives are EXTREMELY hypocrital, though ( Pro life - pro death penalty ??!!)

[pinch100]

@LODGE4444 Conservatives simply do not like when babies have their heads caved in during certain abortion procedures. I agree on the other half - though child killers, et al, should be tucked away for life in the prison's general population.

[kalimeraHellas]

We know you have a fake democracy, fake elections, and assassinate presidents and other people who speak the truth. en. wikipedia. org/ wiki/ List_of_assassinated_people

[btwall60]

This is why Mccain has got to go. When a Republican crosses the aisle to do something for the Dem's, they are good, bi-partison, helpfull, loving people. But now McCain and Lindsy Grahmesty are finding the Dems don't want to agree with them on anything. So there goes you're proof of "bi-partisanship.

[cowgirlmoon]

@btwall60, It is obvious now, McCain and Grahm are both, RINO. They are Progressives. McCain wants to regulate vitamins and herbal medicine and Grahm wants a national ID card.

The Progressives (most of the Democrat Party) don't want anything to do with cooperation. They are totalitarian tyrants and the rest of us are nothing more than "The Collective." We are beginning to see the dirty schemes of the quite, Progressive movement, take over of our government.

[integral]

@cowgirlmoon dang, cowgirl, you really got shortchanged in the brains department.

You poor demented thing.

[cowgirlmoon]

@integral, L. I. B! It's true! Set a monkey at a keyboard and sure enough, the little flea bitten critter, will write something that only, a liberal can appreciate.

That's a nice little marsupial!

[topgun1792]

@cowgirlmoon so are we the elite intellectuals or the idiots?

i know were one of them...

[cowgirlmoon]

@topgun1792 , Elite intellectuals, or idiots. The only two species Progressives believe, exist. They don't let you choose which one you get to be, so you will have to figure that out and if you are not an idiot, eventually, you will figure it out. When they talk about the idiots, you will assume they mean.... those other idiots.... unless you are an educated idiot, then perhaps, eventually, you might find the answer to your question.... or not.

[btwall60]

I am shocked! For the laugh of the year, look up Pelosi saying "we have to pass the bill, in order to find out what's in it"

OMG ROTFL

Pelosi actually "clucks" when she talks, her face has been pulled so tight, and has so much Botox in it, that her mouth muscles are straining from the effort :)

[integral]

@btwall60 the sad thing is, btw, that you just might be dim witted enough to believe the shite you posted.

You and cowgirlmoon should get together. You both have about the same diminutive number of brains cells.

[arcas2000]

Claude Rains is awesome.

[camprunamok]

Is this supposed to mean that X is "shocked" because of improper conduct happening right under his nose? Or does this mean that X knew about it all along but is only feigning "shock" at this time (when it is convenient to do so)? Recall that at this point in the movie Cpt. Renault is closing Ricky's bar down for reasons having little to do with gambling.

[GuyverV]

he knew all along

[EasyEs]

True man of god you are..

[LLORT3]

hehe

[Eyoki777]

My favourite bit of this movie. Beautifully funny. Odd how people have chosen this film to have a political debate via the Comments.

[JDSackman]

The movie was partly a political comment of its own at the time. It was an argument for the US to look beyond itself, like Rick, and join the fight against Fascism. (Between the original play and the release of the movie, the US did enter WWII.)

[RogerOnTheRight]

@Eyoki777 ... is shocked, *shocked* to find a movie clip of hypocrisy sparking political debate!

Everybody out of the Comments at once!

[LLORT3]

only in amerika

[cowgirlmoon]

@RogerOnTheRight , OH.... ROFLMAO!

[JDSackman]

My "Captain Louis Renault Award" goes to employers who are "Shocked! Shocked!" to find undocumented workers in their employ. Of course, they make this "shocking" discovery only when those workers try to organize a union or protest their low wages and long hours.

[fieryiguana]

I'm Shocked, Shocked that Obama lied!

[LLORT3]

@fieryiguana

he's worse than bush

[starflyer3000]

This is a great clip from a great movie, and one that is relevant no matter which party/political persuasion you happen to be.

[LLORT3]

the party that is bought by wall street is the party that wins

gotta love usa

[flurdalee]

AirborneIdentity, you hate America? Are you living in America? Any plans to leave since you hate it? If the answers to those questions, respectively are, yes and no...then YOU ARE LYING. IF YOU HATE AMERICA SO MUCH, THEN LEAVE.MEN HAVE LITERALLY DIED TO GIVE YOU THE FREEDOM TO SIT AROUND ON YOUR ASS, SURFING THE INTERNET,POSTING SUCH HATEFUL RHETORIC, SO GET OUT OF AMERICA.GO TO IRAQ OR IRAN,I'M SURE YOU WILL LOVE IT THERE.YOU ARE NOTHING LESS THAN VERMIN.DEFINITELY NOT A MAN BUT A SACK OF SHIT.

[AirborneIdentity]

no i don't live in USA, it's violent and dirty

[cooks2006]

Someone from INDONESIA saying another country is violent and dirty.

Bwahahahahahahahaaaa!

[AirborneIdentity]

you are indirectly saying more about USA than you are about Indonesia...

[abarzilai664]

Then do you obsess about the USA so much and not on the problems of your home country? You remind me of another troll from Russia who is also obsessed with badmouthing America.

[flurdalee]

EXACTLY how the liberals are. Massive bunch of dangerous hypocrites.

[pimadave]

America is a POLICE STATE!!!!

[cooks2006]

I am shocked, shocked that Obama is a Marxist!

[AirborneIdentity]

god i fucking hate amerika

[cooks2006]

God America fucking hates you

[AirborneIdentity]

don't take His name in vain

[pimadave]

Police are only in it for their own belly. right is wrong if they say its wrong, and wrong is right if the say it is right.

[cajunstrat]

Yep, this is today's criminal class, i.e., elected democRATs in America today.

[AirborneIdentity]

republicans are equally criminal, if not more so.

fuck america.

[cooks2006]

Indonesia? Youre from a backwater state like Indonesia and you think you have the right to say anything about civilized states?

Go back to eating your cats.

[AirborneIdentity]

Indonesia is backwater? LMAO.

you americans are not only stupid but ignorant as hell too.

[redc1c4]

careful: your jealousy is showing again.....

[AirborneIdentity]

i'm not jealous of the most fat violent and unhealthy country on earth :D

[canofsand]

AirborneIdentity pretends to be a different person on every YouTube comments thread... sometimes he pretends to be several different people within a single thread. The only common thread is that all are hate-filled Leftists (though he'll lie and say he's a Republican sometimes, he always spouts Leftist filth). Don't waste your time arguing with that hate-filled troll.

[AirborneIdentity]

i like trolling vids where i know christfags are gonna be viewing

[canofsand]

Air: You're a bigot. That's not an insult.

[AirborneIdentity]

good, usa is a shithole

[integral]

@cajunstrat uh oh, one of them tiny-brained Fox fans is on the loose.

[DirtinSky]

Gold. Gold! Like a stinkin' demorat in America this french man is.
