John Cleese backs Barack Obama!
Edited on Sat Apr-12-08 09:13 PM by Crunchy Frog
Offers his services to him as a speechwriter if he gets the nomination! http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080408/ts_alt_afp/usvoteobamaentertainmentbritaintelevisionpeople_080408124947

LONDON (AFP) - Monty Python legend John Cleese is to offer his services as a speechwriter to Barack Obama if he wins the Democratic nomination to become US president, he told a British newspaper out Tuesday.

The British comedian, who lives in California, told the Western Daily Press regional paper that his jokes could help the Illinois senator get into the White House.

"I am due to come to Europe in November but I may be tied up until then because if Barack Obama gets the nomination I'm going to offer my services to him as a speechwriter because I think he is a brilliant man," the 68-year-old said.


There's no way McCain could beat that combo.

20. Something tells me that Obama's walk is about to get a lot sillier.
Government backing tends to have that effect.
