Legendary comedy actor John Cleese, one of the stars of Monty Python, had some hilarious yet strong opinions of famed bobble-headed dolt Sarah Palin in a 2008 interview.
“I used to think Michael Palin was the funniest Palin on Earth,” Cleese said, referencing one of his Monty Python co-stars. He then launched into an accurate description of the half-wit, half-term former governor of Alaska:
What fascinates me, though, is people watching her on television — can they not see that she’s basically learned certain speeches? She does them very well, she’s got a very good memory, but it’s like a nice-looking parrot.
Because the parrot speaks beautifully and kind of says ‘aw shucks’ every now and again, but doesn’t really have any understanding of the meaning of the words it is producing, even though it’s producing them very accurately.
She’s been in these training sessions with [Vice President Dick] Cheney’s pals, and she’s learned these speeches, and the extraordinary thing is that so many people are taken in by it.
Cleese explained that the idea of pairing her up with “72-year-old cancer survivor” John McCain was a laughable idea, as she is “in no way good enough” to run the country if the situation were to come to that. The partnership between the two, he said, was hilarious:
I mean, Monty Python could have written this. And I’m sorry, Michael Palin, to say you’re not the funniest Palin any more, but you’re not.
Palin, who was paid $15.85 per word by Fox News during her time as a contributor, has certainly developed a reputation for meandering, word-salady, incoherent ramblings. On her own channel, Palin recently spewed the most convoluted and meaningless stream of drivel many of us have ever heard:
We believe? Wait, I thought fast food joints, hurh. Don’t you guys think that they’re like of the Devil or somethin’ I was. Liberals, you want to send those evil employees who would dare work at a fast food joint then ya just don’t believe in, thought you wanted to, I dunno, send them to Purgatory or somethin’ so they all go VEGAN and, uh, wages and picket lines I dunno they’re not often discussed in Purgatory, are they? I dunno why are you even worried about fast food wages because dha.
This monumentally disturbing sign that Palin should probably consider a PET scan was in response to Elizabeth Warren’s push for a minimum wage increase.
Palin has stated that she may run for political office again, despite “haters” like Cleese and the dictionary. While this would be great for those of us who enjoy listening to her struggle to make sense of the words she is speaking, there is always the risk that she will be elected to office somewhere.
Oh dear if Sara Palin had a PET Scan her cavity would be endless of void of black….(I’m still trying to figure out how she is able to breathe, eat, fart, and spew her drivel. Maybe there is a brain in there but for the life of me, I can’t imagine it being very big.)
Instead of a PET scan, just drill, Baby, drill.
It would be nice if Sarah Palin got into self trepanation.
I love it. Palin is dangerously stupid, but she’s a gift that keeps giving us liberals.
She’s more like a gift TO us Liberals, since she gives us something to laugh about.
Except for the dangerous fact that there are actually enough stupid people out there that listen to her drivel and would actually vote for her if she could fill out the paperwork to run for another political office. I am more and more convinced that there should be an entrance exam, no multiple guess, to run for any political office.
It may be the sleep deprivation, but i think - “despite “haters” like Cleese and the dictionary” - may be the best line ever.
Even if she did get elected “somewhere” she would probably quit in the middle of the term.
Funny but don’t get too technical. Sarah may think you mean an actual pet scan at a veteran clinic. I guess cat scan is out, too.
Sarah Palin says such stupid things like, “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.” HA!! What fool would say something so damned ………. oh, wait…..hmmmmm……… Actually, what fool would believe it?
You really don’t need to concern yourself with that, since it’s a done deal and working.
Nice try. You do know, don’t you, that Obama didn’t actually write the entire ACA, line by line, by himself? Oh, and that he doesn’t pick the phone up and issue orders for every single action the four branches of the military, and of course the CIA, FBI, NSA undertake right? I mean, he’s not everywhere all the time making every decision that gets made in the universe like God right?
Don’t worry,. she would quit halfway through the term or whenever someone showed her a bright shiny object.
Well, the idiots in Alaska elected her. And without doubt the people I’ve known from that state were idiots. Nice people, but morons.
She is EXTREMELY unlikely to formally declare, as this would bring closer scrutiny to the grifter-cash that flows to her. She will continue to tease, and the deluded will continue to send money.
You guys!!! All these comments are hilarious!!! These could be put together and made into a book!! We can call it “What happened to Sarah’s brain” ???? Or maybe what about, ” A No Brainer”we can make a fortune!!!
“What happened to Sarah’s brain” Assuming facts clearly not in evidence.
Actually running for President, supplies you and your family with party Campaign Money. You can hire your family members as the top tier campaign staff (that gets paid 6 figures). It’s not that anyone of them really expect to be elected. Check out how many Family members left their previous jobs to work on xyz campaign — it’s an eye opener on how the system is rigged.
And so many republicans voted that ticket. How frightening is that? You should have to pass a competencey test to vote.
I applaud the poor soul who had to try to punctuate this…um, transcript. A monumental task if ever there was one.
She explained her position quite clearly I think. You just have to know how to read it. She said it several times “I dunno” I dunno” I dunno”.
