He was kissing her ass at the time.
This reminds me of the following (in the spoiler) From John Cleese.
NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED OR EASILY HURT OF [AMERICAN] PRIDE.
EDIT: Forgive the age of it. It is far from current.
In the light of your failure to elect a competent President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective today…
God I’d forgotten that - still hilarious. I actually brings to mind that I was approached the other day by an American (well, since I live there I suppose that in itself isn’t odd) who was apologetic about that 1776 thing. Thought the world and his country might have been better off without it
Hilarious! Thanks for that. 
Hm. that’s a rather long article. Who is it from? edit: Because a glance over the article tells me it doesn’t give an answer.
Anyway, I stand corrected.
Certainly #14, including the slur against those who undergo therapy, would be rather rich if it had come from Cleese.
So he’d pulled his head out? Too bad.

Resolved, the following:
That Sir John of Cleese, having demonstrated the required qualities of erudition, intelligence, and droll wit, is hereby appointed Jester Emeritus for the Court of Cecil I, and
That any and all internet based wit of sufficient quality (as outlined above) shall be attributed to Sir John of Cleese unless clear and unimpeachable evidence is offered to different effect and
The Province of Canada, which had been an independent nation until this declaration, is awarded to Sir John of Cleese as fief, to dispose of in whatever manner he deems fit, save for the Frogophone regions, which are deemed too vexing and troublesome, and which are to be forcibly annexed to Iceland, or simply ignored, according to his pleasure.
So let it be written, so let it be done. Tremble, and obey.
John Cleese also has something to say to Sean Hannity, via Keith Olbermann
Ode to Sean Hannity
Aping urbanity,
oozing with vanity,
When Palin said at the beginning of the debate that she might not give answers exactly to questions that the moderator and Biden were asking ,it told me that she had memorized a bunch of shit and would parrot it out. During the debate, I thought if she were interrupted ,she would have to start over from the beginning. She seems to have a pretty good memory. If that qualifies her for VP ,then she is very good choice.
:smack: Leave my desk for 5+ minutes with an unfinished post…(no clue how it got submitted) What I was trying to say…
Shit, I did not know that. Dementia sucks. Whatever her faults or wrongheadedness, she was a strong woman and deserved a better end to her remarkable life. Shit.
Enjoy,

IIRC, her daughter did a piece on either the BBC or NPR about what Maggie was going through, and it is as horrific as you can imagine. Apparently, before it set in, Maggie had a photographic memory, now she can hardly remember who her daughter is. Sad.
Is that so? Really?
Need urgent answer. 
And he’s also has a keen and insightful mind.
His call on Palin was a no-brainer, though.
You can tell that Cleese didn’t write it by the way it’s not remotely funny.
I’m not going to get too involved in this but suffice to say that there are a lot of Irish people who disagree strongly.
Yep, according to the FEC:
And tell Barack I said hi. 
Then if we could get roadies and firemen to run congress we’d have a 6 trillion dollar surplus and China and Russia would call regularly for advice.
