UPDATE: This is off the front page so nobody from Daily Kos is likely to read it. However from those who are looking at my blog I am adding a story from the New York Times:
Here Is Every
2020 Democrat,
Roasted by Haiku
The following Monty Python information was adapted from Wikipedia.
Each and every Democratic candidate will be trying to differentiate themselves from all the other candidates. In essence they want to be completely different.
And Now for Something Completely Different was the 1971 Monty Python sketch comedy which evolved from television comedy series Many Python’s Flying Circus. “And now for something completely different” was used many times in the shows. .The title was taken from a the catchphrase used in the television show. John Cleese, usually dressed in business suit, was the announcer who introduced some of the sketches saying this.
I can hear his voice now. I figured it has to be on YouTube, Sure enough it was.
The clip takes all of four seconds and may be the most memorable four second utterance ever on TV. Watch him delivering the line here.
I think the perfect person to introduce each Democratic candidate for the debates is John Cleese with this line because every candidate wants to be completely different from the competition.
The movie which the poster is for is the Pythons' first feature film which combined their most memorable and hilarious TV skits. It was composed of some well-known sketches from the first two series of the Flying Circus. Who can forget the "Dead Parrot" sketch, and can you hear the "The Lumberjack Song" in your head as you read this? Then there’s the "Upperclass Twits" which is a contest sort of, kind of like the debates. Well, not quite like the dates because since if you’re reading this you are a Democrat and don’t think any of the candidates are twits. Certainly the stakes are far bigger.
But please, give me some poetic license here. It is Donald Trump who can be described as the most dangerous twit earth’s gene pool has even mutated.
I don’t know who will host each debate and honestly it would take too long to look up, however I am quite sure it won’t be John Cleese.
The debates would be a lot more fun to watch if he was the host with 20 versions of his lines delivered in slightly different ways. Alas, none of the Democrats trying to prove they are the best hope for beating Donald Trump will be having fun. They all believe they would be an excellent president (or possibly for some advice president and eventually be in a poison. to run for president’.
I am sure each of them thinks they would beat Donald Trump.
I’m not sure I’ll be having fun when I watch the dab6e either since I am interested in seeing who proves themselves to be the candidate most likely to trounce Trump (there’s a good slogan.
I did have fun writing this though.
