NJ Gov race: Christie may be sued by Monty Python.

[Graybeard]

As reported in HuffPo: Repuke Chris Christie, who is running against Gov. Corzine in NJ, may be sued by Monty Python. The candidate used a Python skit in a campaign ad without permission. A Python spokesman said that Christie might get an endorsement from Sarah Palin but not from Michael Palin.

1. I thought he'd be sued for stealing the Silly Walk.

2. I say this every time a 'pug is caught plagiarizing the work of others

so here it is again: fucking Republicans think they own every worthwhile thing anyway, so in their eyes it's not stealing.

15. When you're incapable of original thought

It's impossible to imagine the concept of intellectual property, much less the notion of stealing it. If Republicans couldn't profit from other people's labor, they'd have had to fold up their big tent decades ago.

7. Anyone have any idea what skit he used?

I live over the border in the Philly suburbs but we do see some Jersey political ads and I've seen both Corzine and Christie ads. I don't recall this one.

8. Deja vu.

Michael Palin as host of TV show called, "It's The Mind" discussing deja vu. The caption shows quote by Corzine that he may "revisit" plan to raise tolls on NJ Turnpike.

Buh-bye Christie!!

11. How dare they! Monty Python was what saved many of us from insanity during

the Reagan horrors. Now they've plagiarizing it? May dead parrots fly from their nostrils and dead fish be placed on their chairs!

of 'Q' Division.

18. If Christie wins, you know what this will mean for the 2012 election season, don't you?

Yup! Benny Hill recycled jokes, stolen by the GOP.

They'll never stop, until they're stopped.
