John Cleese has become the man he used to satirize. Shame.
@John_Ripley It's very odd. He hates Trump. But then he goes on and on about wokeness and cancel culture and how trans people are strange. And, he has a show on GB News, which is the UK equivalent of Fox.
@LiberalLibrarian I got a vague sense, years back, from reading Michael Palin’s memoirs, that he’s always been …. The guy he satirizes.
@Kinniska Oh really? I'll have to read Palin's book.
@LiberalLibrarian I’m trying to remember the name of it, but I saw him give a talk in support of the book back in the day. Maybe 2003? And he was every bit the warm funny guy that you would imagine he is. The day was a VERY warm September day in boston and the venue, a big church with balconies, had all the fans going to cool it off but it wasn’t helping much. He was graceful and funny, and then endured another few hours for a signing (for those willing to queue up).
@LiberalLibrarian ?
