Well, if Obama takes Monty Python's John Cleese up on his offer to serve as speechwriter of his campaign, that might be true.
Cleese, volunteered his comedic services, promising to fill Obama's stump speeches full of "it's just a flesh wound" gags. Oh, please let this come true! Cleese said, "I am due to come to Europe in November but I may be tied up until then because if Barack Obama gets the nomination I'm going to offer my services to him as a speechwriter because I think he is a brilliant man."
And now for something completely different — on the campaign trail!

I think this is amazing. John Cleese is one of the funniest men in history. I'll bite your legs off! LOVE it.
ps I have a really funny walk I'd love to show John!
1This would win it for him!
2I LOVE Monty Python!
3is he an American citizen? same thing as Elton, huh?
4Yes, please!!!! It would seriously be SO amazing. And it would get the British vote even more firmly behind Obama
5I think it's disgusting! Obama's not even in office yet and he's already outsourcing.
6This is just too funny! Now I want Obama to win more than ever. Also, great headline

One more American job going to a foreigner.
I googled for a sign that Cleese may have become an American citizen, but could not find anything.
Interestingly, though, Terry Gilliam renounced his American citizenship as a protest of G.W. Bush. (He was born American but had dual citizenship.) At least he has the courage of his convictions and actually did what so many celebs threaten!
