Sean Hannity Volunteers to be Waterboarded

Charles Grodin got the manatee (™John Cleese), Sean Hannity, to agree to be waterboarded of all things. See, Seanny seems to think that waterboarding is no big whoop. After all, Ollie North had it done to him, and look what a great guy he turned out to be. It's actually quite amusing when Hannity throws out "Ollie North did it!," due to an almost adenoidal squeak in his voice.

Many--including me--have doubted the legitimacy of North's and Hannity's "Freedom Concerts." But Hannity may have unwittingly hit upon the most guaranteed successful charity event in history. Who wouldn't pay to watch that man suffer. . .and maybe learn something in the process?

John Cleese on Countdown with Keith Olbermann

John Cleese, of Monty Python's Flying Circus, comments--like only he can--on the absurdities of the Presidential campaign, particularly the John McCain Campaign and "Joe the Plumber." Funny stuff.

John Cleese on Sarah Palin

I haven't even had time to watch this video yet, but I'm sure it's funny or at least interesting. Everything John Cleese does is at least that.

I'm having people over tonight, so my blogging time is going to be restricted, if not non-existent. So, please, enjoy the video, and scroll down to see if you've missed anything. I'll try to pop in later with some new stuff!

"Ode to Sean Hannity" by John Cleese

A masterpiece. And after the poem, a dramatic reading by Keith Olbermann.

Ode to Sean Hannity
by John Cleese

Aping urbanity
Oozing with vanity
Plump as a manatee
Faking humanity
Journalistic calamity
Intellectual inanity
Fox Noise insanity
You’re a profanity
Hannity

Olbermann's reading appears about halfway through the video, and is worth the wait, as is the fabled Hannity smackdown by Robert Gibbs, and Olbermann's discussion of the matter with Rachel Maddow.
