Team Cleese.

He should have turned it around on her when she made the ageist slur that his ideas were old-fashioned. He is, and always has been ahead of his time—one of the most forward-thinking conceptualists out there.

What a precious little snot she was in that interview.

He and all the Monty python ers went to Cambridge. He’s no slouch, educationally.

True. And before that, according to Wikipedia,

When he was 13, he was awarded [a scholarship] at Clifton College, an English [private] school... Cleese allegedly defaced the school grounds, as a prank, by painting footprints to suggest that the statue of Field Marshal Earl Haig had got down from his plinth and gone to the toilet.

He probably did think about it, you know...because he is too old and stuff.

Kidding!

And thats exactly what he should have done.

I’m just saying he’s not used to this type of treatment in an interview. I brought up Jordan because he is, and he logically destroys people who do this to him.
