    Because he makes a good bridge?

    It is simply breathtaking to watch the glee and abandon with which
    the liberal media and the Angry Left have been attempting to turn
    our military victory in Iraq into a second Vietnam quagmire. Too bad
    for them, it's failing.

    Frenchman: "You don't frighten us, English pig-dogs! Go and boil your
    bottoms, sons of a silly person! I blow my nose at you, so-called
    Ah-thoor Keeng, you and all your silly English K-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-niggits!"
    --from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," 1975

    "In France there is no problem, just in England. You English think there
    is a problem, which is crazy. I have spoken with Pippa, she thinks this
    is all a joke and a funny game. We were just having a laugh. We are funny people, it's what we do."
    --Marcy de Soultrait, brother of designer Vicomte Arthur de
    Soultrait, quoted in London's Daily Telegraph, April 18, 2012

    New Mother: "Is it a boy or a girl?" Obstetrician: "I think it's a bit
    early to start imposing roles on it, don't you?"
    --from "The Meaning of Life," 1983

    " 'Do you know what the gender is?' is the question people most
    frequently ask expecting parents, including me. Usually, I give the conventional response: 'No, we are waiting to be surprised.' But
    occasionally I offer up one of my two real answers, 'We don't know the
    sex or the gender' or 'I don't really believe in gender anyway.' "

    Male Peasant: "She's bloody dying and all you bring us is lupins! All we've eaten, mate, for the last four bleeding weeks is lupin soup, roast lupin, steamed lupin, braised lupin in lupin sauce, lupin in the basket with sauteed lupins, lupin meringue pie, lupin sorbet! We sit on lupins, we sleep in lupins, we feed the cat on lupins, we burn lupins, we even wear the bloody things!"
    --from "Monty Python's Flying Circus," originally aired Jan. 4, 1973

    "Reaching for a packet of chips could be only half as fattening in the future thanks to a legume which was previously used to feed cows. Curtin University researchers have replaced wheat flour with lupin and created chips with 50 per cent less fat."
