Recently I watched some documentaries on Monty Python’s “Flying Circus.” Being an “old” fan (I use the term “Old”, loosely) of this group, I have watched with great interest, their rise to success through the years. Especially their performance of the classic, “The Holy Grail”, of which I have memorized a lot of the lines (but then who hasn’t.) Being dressed as a Cowboy has never stopped me from breaking into an English accent at the drop of the hat (and I have a hat to drop)… uttering the immortal words, “it’s only a flesh wound!” or any other appropriate phrase. But I digress; after this last weekend and Obama’s successful attempt to get the subject off of “Obamacare”, he now has the world talking about Syria and the use of WMD’s. It is more the farcical stance Obama has taken which gave me Flashbacks to The Holy Grail. Whenever you are going to remake a movie, you first have to re-cast the Character-actors. So I will list mine and then you can make your own changes so we can get this just right. 1-King Arthur: Not Obama… John Kerry would be perfect, with his haughty accent. Of course, since they don’t have horses, Kerry’s face doubles as that of a horse. We need to see Kerry windsurf in full Armor. 2- Brave Sir Robin: Obama, hands down! Plus, he already has a singing minstrel, Jay Carney. Jay can gallop around behind Obama singing the praises of the Brave Sir Obama… ” who bravely ran away .” 3- Patsy: Also known as Mr. Coconut. I nominate Joe Biden. What a natural! AND… no speaking parts! 4- The Black Knight: Al Sharpton; who prevents anyone from crossing the bridge leading to nowhere! 5- The collector of the dead: Eric Holder “Bring out your dead!” And has his own version of death panels. 6- Sir Galahad: Bill Clinton: who captures Castle Anthrax taking many pictures, even while in great peril. 7- Knights who say NEE: Obviously, the IRS Agents, who pillage the land looking for right wing shrubbery. 8- Brave Sir Concord: Susan Rice, who took an arrow for Hillary Clinton saying, “I’m not quite dead yet!” 9- Sir Lancelot: Hillary Clinton: who spoke the immortal words, “Let’s not quibble about who killed who” 10- Sir Vladimir: David Axlerod: who knows right from wrong but holds his thumb on the scales of justice Now somebody had to go first, picking this Cast and I know others can do better… but this gives us a starting point. Let’s get some feedback. There is very little difference Monty Python’s Court at Camelot and the Obama Administration. Let’s have some fun with this! By Wyatt Goodwin
