Monty Python knew a lot about politics...

[driver8]

Didn't Bush get selected this way???

King Arthur: Old woman.
Dennis: Man.
King Arthur: Man, sorry. What knight lives in that castle over there?
Dennis: I'm 37.
King Arthur: What?
Dennis: I'm 37. I'm not old.
King Arthur: Well I can't just call you "man".
Dennis: Well you could say "Dennis".
King Arthur: I didn't know you were called Dennis.
Dennis: Well you didn't bother to find out did you?
King Arthur: I did say sorry about the "old woman", but from behind you looked...
Dennis: What I object to is you automatically treat me like an inferior.
King Arthur: Well I am king.
Dennis: Oh, king eh? Very nice. And how'd you get that, eh? By exploiting the workers. By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
King Arthur: I am your king.
Woman: Well I didn't vote for you.
King Arthur: You don't vote for kings.
Woman: Well how'd you become king then?

King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king.
Dennis: Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dennis: Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dennis: Oh but if I went 'round sayin' I was Emperor, just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dennis: Come see the violence inherent in the system. Help, help, I'm being repressed.

1. Over the years

I have come to think that anarcho-syndicalist communes may not be a bad form of government.

[BlueEyedSon]

5. Thats what Chomsky says!

[Willinois]

7. Oh no...

There I go agreeing with Chomsky again. The moderation police are going to come re-educate me soon. ;)

[BlueEyedSon]

8. Chomsky IS moderate, see how far the 'cons have moved the center?

:)

[stellanoir]

2. "No one would have ever anticapated

the Spanish Inquisition."

they were the best.

[ismnotwasm]

3. He sure did

That cracks me up

[BlueEyedSon]

6. "He"??? LOL!

[ismnotwasm]

10. Ok ok

:blush:

4. As my sig line attest to.

The Holy Presidency

Bush: Be quiet! I order you to be quiet!

Democrats: Order, eh? Who does he think he is?

Bush: I am your president!

Democrats: Well, I didn't vote for you.

Bush: You don't vote for presidents.

Democrats: Well, how did you become president, then?

Bush: The blacked robed supreme justices appoint you. That is why I am your president!

Democrats: Listen. Strange unelected individuals living in ivory towers distributing power to one egotistical maniac is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical judicial appointment by people who run around in black robes who are themselves appointed by people in power.

9. Great sig line! See? You know a lot about politics, too!

[Art_from_Ark]

13. "Well how'd you become Pretzeldent, then?"

DUBYA (cue mystical chorus): "The Antonin of Scalia, his arm clad in the darkest polyester, held aloft The Bible from the bosom of the Supreme Court, signifying by Divine Providence that I, Duhbya, was to carry The Bible. That is whay I'm your pretzeldent."

17. Good one! n/t

11. I like "Politicians - an Apology"

'We would like to apologize for the way in which politicians are represented in this programme. It was never our intention to imply that politicians are weak-kneed, political time-servers who are concerned more with their personal vendettas and private power struggles than the problems of government, nor to suggest at any point that they sacrifice their credibility by denying free debate on vital matters in the mistaken impression that party unity comes before the well-being of the people they supposedly represent nor to imply at any stage that they are squabbling little toadies without an ounce of concern for the vital social problems of today. Nor indeed do we intend that viewers should consider them as crabby ulcerous little self-seeking vermin with furry legs and an excessive addiction to alcohol and certain explicit sexual practices which some people might find offensive.

We are sorry if this impression has come across.'

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. 'BLOODY LIBERAL!'

"Oh, what a giveaway! Di' you 'ear that? Di' you 'ear that, eh? That's what I'm on about!"

Then, too, the core Cabinet members remind me of the competitors for Upper-Class Twit of the Year.

[deadparrot]

14. My user name agrees with you.

15. The Life of Brian was one of the best satires on Left Wing infighting ever

...

BRIAN:
Are you the Judean People's Front?
REG:
Fuck off!
BRIAN:
What?
REG:
Judean People's Front. We're the People's Front of Judea! Judean People's Front. Cawk.
FRANCIS:
Wankers.

16. I sure miss those bishops and popes

on pogo sticks. And the Adventures of Mr. Pithers. Those were the days.

[Redneck Socialist]

18. My favorite MP scene EVAH!

Thanks for the :rofl:

Oops! This should have been a reply to the OP. :blush:

[chalky]

20. So THAT'S why Condi went to Spamalot--hoping to get some candy-coated

tips from MP. Prolly figured they'd be easier to remember if they were set to music.

[Oeditpus Rex]

21. Repeat after me, Condi

"I'm not a witch! I'm not a witch!"
