And Now For Something Completely Different

[rabid1st]

I was looking up some John Cleese information and learned that he had done some political spots for his party of choice. His party isn't what interests me. We may or may not agree on stuff. What I found lovely is the humorous description of party behavior that really is very much like OUR parties over here in America.

The thing I love about this clip is the humorous take on having two dominant political parties that bicker constantly and point fingers at one another, but manage to get nothing much done to help the country. The telling bit starts at about...1:11 in as he returns to sit on the desktop.

The middle bits on extremism and its appeal is VERY good and still very accurate 23 years later, isn't it?

Le sigh.

That's the bit I was talking about. And yes, it is very accurate even 23 years later. People are people, it seems, no matter where you find them. And really, as much as I get frustrated with Fox and the Republicans. I really just wish we could stop bickering about our extremist views and get something done for the good of the country.

Interesting.

I think Obama was trying to do what Cleese suggested there for awhile. Problem was, Republicans were never going to vote for anything he did. So he compromised and conceded, and got nothing for his pains. Sad.
