The quote is accurate if you are quoting Blazing Saddles.  Mel Brooks shortened (and improved) the original line.

I think that's true of most misquotes. The reason they stick better than the original is that they're more generally applicable or quickly repeated than the original. And most misquotes are eventually recycled in some sort of a spoof, so you could say that none of them are misquotes or that there are no misquotes at all.
