"Like Monty Python's mutilated knight...
...who fights on claiming the loss of his legs and arms as merely a flesh wound, Senator Clinton does not appear to see the true nature of her predicament."

From ABC (Australian Broadcasting Company) - the accompanying audio even references the Jay Leno jokes.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/05/12/2241712.htm

"Progressives" claim how important the opinion of the outside world is - well here you go. This is how much of a joke Clinton has become outside of the U.S. And it's a damn shame too because she was once someone I respected tremendously.

Love to hear from other DU'ers living outside of the U.S. if you have articles that may help shed light on how the race is being viewed in other countries.

3. Forgive my ignorance...
I've been seeing pics of the black knight for weeks now

But I know so little about Monty Python, it's ridiculous. My husband (an Aussie) can recite entire episodes. That's when I remind him that he's a very strange little man....

I do have to thank him though because if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't know anything about Black Adder either and that would be a genuine shame.

P.S. I believe this is my 100th post! It only took five years to get here.

2. Been an ongoing joke for some time now.



I don't have any articles to post, but I read quite a few international blogs. The world wants Obama.
