4. This will work its way up through Hannity's layers of flappers & he will see it & read it. Good. .nt

16. if it's not Cleese
|
It's some mighty fahn wordsmithin'.
At the end of the article at the snopes link is a poem by Cleese and it's not even close to as good as this one. The Snopes writer reached out to Cleese in spring of 21 to check the veracity of this story and Cleese has apparently not responded. Maybe he'd like to take credit for it. |

28. I think Keith misspoke ...
|
From the Snopes article:
This poem also made it to Keith Olbermann’s show on Oct. 9. Olbermann said that Cleese was inspired to write the poem after Robert Gibbs, former U.S. President Barack Obama’s White House Press Secretary, had a memorable exchange with Hannity on Fox News, and that the comedian had “entrusted” it with Olbermann to read on air. We’re skeptical that Cleese truly sent this to Olbermann, however, as this poem had previously been published by TPM. It seems likely that someone on Olbermann’s staff found this poem on the internet and that Olbermann mistook if for genuine.
Olbermann’s and/or Cleese could settle the debate, but in the meantime I've got a big "I don't think so" tag on this
