Que all Monty Python images, rapid fire mode. GO!

May I call you Ted?

Obama should take him up on it. McCain is claiming all his sleazeball negative ads are just jokes, Obama should get Clease to do the replies.

This should end well...

in a perhaps fitting tribute to his friend and former Monty Python member, John Cleese became the first person to say the "f word" at a British memorial service, which he did, albeit indirectly as though part of a conversation he was having with Chapman.

Cleese had been the first person to say "s**t" on British Television. By using the "f word" at Chapman's service, he became the first person to use the word at a British memorial service, which was filmed for the BBC. Many considered this to be the perfect tribute to his friend and former Monty Python member, Graham Chapman.

And now for something completely different....

Cleese is old... bet he likes pancakes too.

I came for the languid prose of fellow speechwriting enthusiasts.
Instead, all I got was abuse.

Your campaign is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet it's maker! It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed it to the perch it'd be pushing up the daisies! It's metabolic processes are now history! It's off the twig! It's kicked the bucket, it's shuffled off its mortal coil, rung down the curtain and joined the bleeding choir invisibile!

In short... YOURS IS AN EX-CAMPAIGN!

Vying for the coveted Minister of Silly Walks appointment

Perhaps Obama's nomination acceptance speech will be the first to include the word "Fark"?

I'm not sure about how having Obama dressed up like an old English biddy is going to work but he does have the long legged, lanky figure perfect for Silly Walks.

/never be rude to an Arab

cburkard: Cleese is old... bet he likes pancakes too.

The Pancakes joke isn't because John McCain is old, it's because he is senile (or at least appears to be).

Is Fark dragging stuff out of the archives now?

The first rule of Politcs:

No Pooftahs!

Sir Lancelot: We were in the nick of time. You were in great peril.
Sir Galahad: I don't think I was.
Sir Lancelot: Yes, you were. You were in terrible peril.
Sir Galahad: Look, let me go back in there and face the peril.
Sir Lancelot: No, it's too perilous.
Sir Galahad: Look, it's my duty as a knight to sample as much peril as I can.
Sir Lancelot: No, we've got to find the Holy Grail. Come on.
Sir Galahad: Oh, let me have just a little bit of peril?
Sir Lancelot: No. It's unhealthy.
Sir Galahad: I bet you're gay.
Sir Lancelot: Am not.

Now that's funny.

Obama's new platform: Try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations.

as long as he puts in this quote:
I'm sorry but I'm going to have to shoot you. What a senseless waste of human life.

or,
"an argument is a collective series of statements meant to establish a proposition. It's not just saying no it isnt!"
"yes it is"
"no it isn't!"

idolized john cleese as a child, well still actually.

Since McCain seems intent on making ridiculous comparisons about Obama, maybe Cleese could turn the tables and offer up his John McCain impression:

It would be so awesome if Obama took up his offer. Or a 527 group uses him to make some campaign spots.

So anything an Obama aide says something stupid, Obama can say "he's from Barcelona",

This would be a good place to link Eric Idle's "The FCC Song" from 2004, if I weren't at work.

John Cleese has now just dropped himself from my second favorite Python with Terry Jones replacing him.

/Michael Palin is the best and don't even begin to try to argue that point.

I want to play devil's advocate, but I agree with you. I love Michael Palin. We know your top three, out of curiosity how would you rank the remaining three?

Yes, well, that's the sort of blinkered, philistine pig ignorance I've come to expect from you non-creative garbage. You sit there on your loathsome, spotty behinds squeezing blackheads, not caring a tinker's cuss for the struggling artist. You excrement! You whining, hypocritical toadies, with your colour TV sets and your Tony Jacklin golf clubs and your bleeding Masonic secret handshakes! You wouldn't let me join, would you, you blackballing bastards! Well, I wouldn't become a freemason now if you went down on your lousy, stinking knees and begged me!

I'm Barack Obama and I approve this message.

Looking at the other pics, these are pretty old, with Hillary supporters and even a Rudy supporter. Last March, perhaps?

No one ever gives Gilliam any love. And the fact that you'd base your appreciation of a person's talent on their politics is repugnant.

That's because he hasn't produced one watchable movie since "Brazil". And while Brazil is, in fact, my favorite movie of all time, it hardly alters the fact that everything else he's done sucks.

/with the mild exception of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, but that's not really saying much.

Well it cetainly isn't funny to the Waffles for Equal Rights. They don't like all the attention they aren't getting. They hope one day those pancakes will get their delicious just deserts.

You didn't like the Adventures of Baron Munchausen or Twelve Monkeys? What's wrong with you?

Atillathepun: You didn't like the Adventures of Baron Munchausen...

Gahhh, I forgot that one... yeah, that's a keeper too

Smellvin: John Cleese has now just dropped himself from my second favorite Python with Terry Jones replacing him.

This is the truth. Michael Palin is my favorite, and it's not even close.

/Palin ----------- Cleese - Jones ------ Idle -- Chapman ------- Gilliam.
//Nothing against Gilliam; someone has to be the worst.
///Idle gets points for "The Galaxy Song."

Forty-Two: /Palin ----------- Cleese - Jones ------ Idle -- Chapman ------- Gilliam.
//Nothing against Gilliam; someone has to be the worst.
///Idle gets points for "The Galaxy Song."

That is a pretty good list. I'd move Jones down (just a little) and Idle up (just a little).

/love how no one seems to not have a list.

Smellvin: Michael Palin is the best and don't even begin to try to argue that point.

After recently rewatching the DVDs of the show I'd have to say that Mr Palin is much more hilarious than I used to give him credit for.

How could you forget that one??

Cleese is old, and will be dead soon. This makes me sad.
