what are they monty python? what does that even-- you think this is satire?kay you know what dick weasels i'm going to take you guys to knowledge college. knowledge college. ( applause ) knowledge college. let me explain to you what satire is, guys. satire is make fun of something with the express purpose of exposing the truth. the only truth this exposes is that you're ignorant ( bleep ). if you want to spend four years of college in a baseball playing beer pong and shoving marshmallows up each others' butts for laugh, go for it man. by the way that's not satire, either. when it comes to doing something inappropriate to a girl without her permission that's not funny or ever okay. knowledge college, class dismissed.

iraq when the issue is what to do in a hot war of military action republicans are basically like monty python'sghts. they are screaming run away run away. they don't want to have debates or hearings about what to do about this war resolution where they arguably have much more of a constitutional role in the matter and that's why when it comes to iran they want to obstruct obama. when it comes to iraq they want to be in a position to blame obama. they don't want to come up there and be on the hook and even get any buy-in on what is a very difficult proposition, and it's a project that the american public is really not that keen on in terms of military involvement, further military involvement in iraq. >> evan, i have a sense that they are politicians, just a guess, people like bob cork ker and the rest. they are all politicians, let's face it, but the republicans who love to talk like hawks, love to be warriors and john wayne and ronald reagan and all this. we're going to go bomb them back to the stone age. heard the talk there even from somewhat less serious people like donald trump, though he
