John Cleese on Sarah Palin : She's a well-trained parrot

Remember that the man knows a thing or two about parrots:


John Cleese's observations about the United States are right on target and I've written about them here before : That the United States has become a banana republic under the Bushes in 2000 .

Yet he goes on record saying exactly what so many of us have heard from people from elsewhere in the world : that electing Bush in 2006 was a massive fuck up. It is still incredible that people in this country somehow thought that getting Dubya back in the Oval Office was a good idea.

It's why Cleese believe that as a nation we could redeem ourselves by not voting into office either Parah Palin or John McCain.

Watch it.

Palin For President!


Pro-torture.

Believes every sperm is sacred.

As a lumberjack, likes to dress in women's dresses.

In other words, Michael Palin is a true standard-bearer for the GOP.

Words to live by

They dance and strip for free while some jerk-off makes a fortune selling videos of them. Looking dumbfounded when she learned that the girls don't get paid for their exposure, Oprah remarked, "Okay, that really is stupid." No kidding.

But, wait! It gets worse. It is not just that women are exploiting their bodies "for free", they are forking out tons of money to look like all the women they see on television. Oprah had four teenagers from Florida on the show. These young girls spend thousands of dollars to imitate celebrity styles and one is already planning on getting breast implants. Are these young women just a rare exception? Come on. Who hasn't spent a ridiculous amount of money on highlights, or bikini waxes, or some other please-make-me-be-sexy type thing?

We are literally buying into our oppression. People are profiting off the exploitation of girls and women, and then taking our money as we each try to add up to the narrow formula of sexy that bombards us.
