from a very funny washingtonpost.com column:
“Customer: ‘Look, matey, I know a dead parrot when I see one, and I’m looking at one right now.’
Pet-shop owner: ‘No, no he’s not dead, he’s — he’s resting! Remarkable bird, the Norwegian blue, isn’t it, aye? Beautiful plumage!’
— From ‘Monty Python’s Flying Circus’

2:57 p.m., Yeager Airport, Charleston, W.Va.: A steep descent brings Clinton’s plane to Charleston’s hilltop airport. After an appropriate wait, she steps from the plane and pretends to wave to a crowd of supporters; in fact, she is waving to 10 photographers underneath the airplane’s wing. She pretends to spot an old friend in the crowd, points and gives another wave; in fact, she is waving at an aide she had been talking with on the plane minutes earlier.”
Pathetic.
