And he doesn’t see the irony in his statement at all, does he?

[massmike]

Keith Richards could not be reached for comment

[Riflema]

Er, I think he might actually. This was a promo for the Python thing:-)

Mick probably doesn’t like the Python lads because they’re all a bunch of flaming liberals.

[miss marmelstein]

I have a feeling this is being done to pay for Cleese’s fourth or five or sixth divorce to an American woman. Will he ever learn?

The fact that Keith Richards is still alive proves that G-d has a sense of humor.

Monty Python Live (mostly) news conference

Does that mean they brought Graham Chapman along?

[dfwgator]

Hopefully this time they didn’t spill his ashes.

[Squawk 8888]

I hope so too. I swear they’re gonna void the warranty on that DustBuster.

[arkfreepdom]

I think he is making fun of himself as well.

[paintriot]

Clever self deprecation to plug the show.

[FlJoePa]

Mick vs. the Media in cleverness match isn’t much of a fair fight.

[Col Frank Slade]

Python is funny but Fawlty Towers is funnier.

[MNDude]

ha! that’s exactly what I thought!

"Who wants to see that again? It was funny in the 60s. The best one died years ago. Maybe back in the 70s it was fantastic -- it was the funniest thing. We've seen it all before. I mean they've put it all up on YouTube."

He's clearly making fun of himself and the Rolling Stones. The same could be said about them. Jagger always had a sense of humor and never took himself too seriously.
