In Blazing Saddles, the line occured in the scene where the most despiacable
bad men in the world were being deputized to go whup up on the town that
Heddy (that's Hedley) Lamar wanted vacated. Snuggled between the WWII
German squad and the Ku Klux Klan, was a group of *grubby* Mexican banditos.
After the were signed up, Heddy gave the leader a badge. "Bajjess? We doan
neeed no steenkeeng bajjess.", as he tosses it into the dirt.

Seriously, I assume that the screen writers borrowed the line conciously in
the spirit of satire. If they didn't, I'm sure the Guv (aka director) did.
