"You lie"! Line delivered during San Diego performance of Spamalot.

[MindPilot]

My girlfriend scored a pair of tickets to Spamalot Friday night. During the scene where King Aurthur is trying to the get the Head of the Knights Who Say 'Nee'(or however the fuck it's spelled) to accept the shrubbery, the Knight shouts "you lie!", Aurthur exclaims "What"?
The Knight replies "Er, actually you see Representative Wilson was not referring to the health care bill, but about Tila Tequila's twittering".

The line drew huge applause...everybody got the reference.

And for those DUers who don't get the second part, recently Shawn Merriman of the San Diego Chargers was arrested for domestic violence--she called 911 and accused him of kidnapping and holding her against her will--when as it turns out he was only attempting to prevent the very, very drunk aforementioned girlfriend from driving.

1. It's Tila Tequila, but who cares, that was HILARIOUS!!!!

I think I might have fallen out of my chair if I had been there.

2. Edited to correct

Shows how closely I follow that "other" news....

3. Well, I wouldn't have known either, but I have a teenage daughter

The girl appears to be a complete wreck from what I've seen. Now, football, on the other hand, is something I follow. :)

4. Please Help Me.

I have heard about the famous Tila Tequila, but have never been able to make out from the biographical material included, for what - specifically - she is famous.

5. Hmmmm, good question

She had a reality show (that's probably enough info in itself). It was one of those shows kinda like the bachelor where the contestants compete for the love of the "star" of the show. The difference with her show is that the contestants were both men and women.

6. She's hosted a TV show and written a book

See for details.

For purposes of the Spamalot line, her current fame, arising from the dispute with her boyfriend, is probably the key point.
