At the precise moment Bush
accepts the nomination, stick
your head out the window and
yell "Fuggedaboudit!"

From CNN via Eschaton:

Al Franken wants you to get up out of your chairs, open your windows, stick your heads out and yell ... fuggedaboutdit?

Franken says that the phrase should be tailored to fit each region's own sense of colloquialism: I wonder what we should say here in Louisiana? Hell, I don't even know what an equivalent statement would be in Texas. Anyway, I sure I'll say something.

Here's a link to an mp3 of the original speech from Network. It's pretty cool. Here's a link that allows you to officially register your protest "so that your efforts won't go uncounted."
