A Monty Python view of the 2004 election theft

[Senator]

From a Mother Jones interview with Terry Jones:

MJ.com: Were you surprised to see him re-elected?

TJ: I kind of assumed that he’d get in again. I thought, well, if a friend of his has made all these voting machines that they’re going to use, and has sworn that he will do everything he possibly can to get Bush re-elected, I don’t see how he can’t get re-elected. (laughs) I hear from friends in the States that they genuinely thought Kerry had a chance, and that the exit polls were saying one thing but the final result was totally different. But from here, I just assumed Bush would get it in again; I just thought they wouldn’t do it as obviously as they did last time.

See? People know. They just know.

1. I think I love him.

I'm sorry, but it is incredibly naive to assume that a political party that owns all of the voting machines and tabulators and can keep the software secret wouldn't abuse the opportunity. As much as I support the democrats, I wouldn't trust them in the exact same situation. Keep it public folks!

2. I didn't know he was writing on political subjects! That's great

In one, 'he congratulates American forces for their success in making Osama bin Laden “look haggard,”...'

Great satire. Thanks for posting the MJ interview!

4. People just know, but will they do anything about it?

That is the question.

5. What's the difference

between now and the 60's when tens of thousands of people were in the streets protesting and speaking out for what they believed in?

Is it leaders? Is that the difference do you think? I know we have the internet to organize and inform each other, but we don't have dynamic, outspoken leaders like we had in the 60's.

Or is it that most of the people who are aware of what's going on are just too wrapped up in life to be out in the streets? Is the younger, college age generation aware of this, or is it mostly people like me, who were children and teens in the 60's?

Without a media reporting truth this is really hard work, ya know? We write letters, we support those doing the investigations, we gather information and pass it on - it's frustrating.

Do you think it will take another stolen election before we get out there in the streets? It's just crazy that this is happening here ya know?!

6. Wow! He is very insightful. This is amazing:

MJ.com: In another piece, you critique George Bush’s 2002 State of the Union address through the lens of a Hollywood script reader. What would you say about his inaugural address?

TJ: I did actually start doing one on his latest inaugural address, because what amazes me about it is he’s basically just declared war on the rest of the world. But nobody seemed to really notice. He said it in a very nice way, so maybe they missed what he was talking about. Basically, he said that America can take out any government it doesn’t like and do whatever it likes. It’s stunning. It’s people’s reaction to it that’s been extraordinary to me, that nobody’s taken notice of what he’s actually saying.

7. You know society is screwed up when.....

the only people who make sense are the Court Jesters!

Let's get this guy on the Daily Show!

[Wow]

8. From afar all is clear

Seems like it is harder for people within the country to believe than those outside. To them it is obvious.
