I Have Something Else in Common With John Cleese, Besides the Being Trained in the Law, Bit. We Both See the Nexus Between Sarah Palin and a Parrot.

(oh, and I am distracted already, thinking about the famous and brillant "Dead Parrot" Sketch. It is a Classic! Anyway . . . )

Here we go. John Cleese talks about That Horrid Palin woman.



While I am at it, the Classic "Dead Parrot" Sketch.




Beyond the fact that it is some of John Cleese's best work from the Python years, main reason I am posting it is the irony that the core of the humor in the DPS. It is because of the line of increasingly base less bullshit that the shop keeper spews, and the incredible effort Cleese's disgruntled customer has to go to to get the shop keeper to tacitly admit, he tried to pull a fast one there.

It is that aspect of the sketch that to my mind ironically speaks to the shit "Team Maverick" is trying to pull off, this election year.
