Maybe time for Cleese and Palin to reprise “Argument Clinic” on SNL…somehow working in some of the absurd things the Republican candidates claim “aren’t true”…”No it isn’t”, “Nope”, “Obviously a patent liberal lie”.

“Wait! Didn’t I come in here for a debate, a debate isn’t merely contradicting my statements and presenting absurd counterpoints unsupported by evidence.”

“Oh wait, you came in here for “debate”? This is “Right Wing Political Commentator Blog”….Debate is next door”.

“Oh!” [Leaves]

[To himself] “Stupid Democrat”

Brilliant!! 707

Cleese is remarkably intelligent for a tall person.

dead parrot sketch?

lol.;)

John Cleese and Michael Palin? Python spirits everywhere. We may have to hold an exorcism. Anyone have the phone number of the Spanish Inquisition? Oh wait here they are. I never expected them.

(((((Jane)))))

Laughing out loud truly is the best medicine.

He’d be pushin’ up daisies if you hadn’t nailed him to the perch!

My God, can you imagine if Palin get into office…the consolation prize will be years of hysterical parodies and imitations…until we get raptured.

Our Lord, John Cleese: It has ceased to be, joined the choir invisible, rolled down the curtain, it is an ex-parrot.

Good evening all. Thanks Jane!

But Tine Fey is leaving the country (or is it the world).

Here’s a fun site about Palin. Click around the screen, including drapes, door, baby names, etc.

she’s the minster of silly talks.

Hahahaha

lol. awesome. cleese is brilliant and hilarious.

Ha! I was just going to link that.

’s not pinin’! ‘E’s passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! ‘E’s expired and gone to meet ‘is maker! ‘E’s a stiff! Bereft of life, ‘e rests in peace! If you hadn’t nailed ‘im to the perch ‘e’d be pushing up the daisies! ‘Is metabolic processes are now ‘istory! ‘E’s off the twig! ‘E’s kicked the bucket, ‘e’s shuffled off ‘is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin’ choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!

It’s so awesome to see one of my heroes become even MORE hero-y! Thank you John Cleese!

Sarah Palin is the down-side of the “anyone can become president” trope that is so dear to ‘murrica.

Pity Michael Palin is a Brit, he’d be a better Palin for VP.

Oh Jane! Touching another nerve today.

I’ve been thinking of Michael Palin for weeks. Such a gentle, fascinating, gifted, generous man. Yes, he can play comedy perfectly, and we have loved his cameo roles in various pieces.

But we in this family came to be most impressed by Michael Palin, the man, through his travels and documentaries filmed around the world in places many would not dare to venture.

He is a genius, a marvelous performer, a deep thinker showing appreciation for all the world’s people and places, and sharing generously with the rest of us who view his films and documentaries, as well as his compelling lessons in compassion and respectful, deep curiosity toward people whose cultural traditions and practices are different from our own, but who are well worth learning from and, most certainly, deserving of appreciation and respect.

I have no doubt that Michael is able to put into proper perspective the burden of having to share a surname with the infamous Sarah. I, however, have a problem.

Sarah. I have seen much of what Michael Palin has to offer this world.
I have seen some of what you claim to offer.

Sarah. You are NO Michael Palin. Much less should you pretend to assume such power as you now desire.

Oh, good one!

Yea! A Python thread

And Cleese would have done a far better interview of Sarah Sixpack than McCranky ever did
