Sen. Claghorn quote?
Sean Reifschneider
Claghorn' that sounds EXACTLY like Foghorn Leghorn of Looney Toons fame.
Anyone know anything about him? Here's the quotes from the fortunes file:
"I've seen better heads on half a pint of beer."
"I've seen, I SAY, I've seen better heads on a mug of beer"
-- Senator Claghorn

The good Senator was a regular guest on the radio show hosted by Fred
Allen. One of the shows trademarks was to talk to a set of "people"
along Allen's Alley.

That's good, because FL was directly based on Claghorn.

Yes and it's interesting that the original poster brought up the comment
about the Warner Bros. character because Foghorn Leghorn is a parody of
the Sen. Claghorn character (who was, no doubt, a parody of some Southern
Senator of the time).

Robert McKimson, Foghorn's creator, usually said Foghorn was modelled after
a sheriff on an earlier show called 'Blue Monday Jamboree'. But it is quite
obvious some of Foghorn Leghorn's traits must have come from Senator Claghorn
from Bighorn (the name says it all :) ).
