Apparently, Cleese now has more in common with a typical college professor leftie than an actual entertainer. No wonder he finds himself in Ithaca, the City of Evil.

BDS is an ugly thing to see.

In any case, Bush sounds like Cicero compared to Bambi without TOTUS.

I know a guy who saw his act in person. As a fellow Monty Python fan he was highly disappointed. Just a disconnected stream of political rants, punctuated by some markedly unfunny scatalogical humor. Mr. Cleese has really come far off his game since his heyday in the 70’s (and yes, you probably need to be suffering hard-core Bush Derangement to hold down a chair at Cornell these days)

Americans... are “much too respectful to the president,” said Cleese, who went on to say that George W. Bush would not be able to survive a single press conference in England.

Agree 100% with this. However I wonder how does he think Obama would fare on the receiving end of "Prime Minister's Questions". It would be a disaster. No teleprompter or subservient press in that room.

I always thought at least in England, he was a Tory.

These entertainers are so much funnier when they stay out of politics. And doesn’t this wanker live in the UK?

Another Brit taking himself too seriously- even for an elitist school.

This is almost as painful as hearing that Andy Griffith did a TV ad calling for "Change" and endorsing Obama. Monty Python and Faulty Towers are among the best comedy programs ever.

warning: if you're a fan of the Andy Griffith Show, this will surely sicken you...

“where is the American’s sense of outrage?”

Mr. Cleese, attend one of the numerous "tea parties" taking place across America . . . all right, maybe not Ithaca.

As I understand it, he’s been a bit off his rocker for awhile now. Used to be clever and funny but now comes across as a bitter, raging moonbat.

Pity as I used to be such a fan.

Eric Idle is also reported to be a doddering old sot as well.

Hey, Cleese: I fart in your general direction.

(I loved Holy Grail, by the way.)

I had a commie Brit prof - Martin Bernal - back "in the day", so it's comforting some things don't change on the Hill.

Crap damn..... I hate learning that favorite entertainers are lefties and moonbats...I cannot enjoy their work at all afterwards. Basically I’ve only got Bugs Bunny reruns, and Ted Nugent....

(don’t anyone DARE tell me Bugs Bunny is a moonbat!!)

But of course one is not allowed to criticize the Obamessiah. I love Monty Python, but I certainly don't care for their political or religious views (the commentary on the Life of Brian video was worse than the movie itself in terms of disrespect for religious beliefs).

A small word in Cleese's defense: He's also pretty well known as a management consultant (seriously! - second career) and he may have been talking about 'Bush the manager' - who isn't all that well respected around here, either.
