John Cleese: Sarah Palin Funnier Than Michael Palin
Tue., Oct. 14, 2008 6:51 PM PDT by Erik Pedersen
Considering John Cleese recently penned a poem rhyming the name of Fox News talking head Sean Hannity with phrases such as journalistic calamity and plump as a manatee, you might not be surprised that the Monty Python alum is no fan of Sen. John McCain's running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin.
Not only does the legendary British comic claim the Alaskan governor is funnier than his former Python cohort Michael Palin, but Cleese likens the vice presidential candidate to a well-trained parrot.
And whether you agree with him or not, the guy does know a thing or two about parrots.
