It’s weirdly appropriate that Cleese should compare Sarah Palin to a parrot, in view of the immortal Dead Parrot sketch featuring Cleese himself and the other (funnier) Palin.

You can always just email me to ask you to fix whatever went wrong.

Perhaps the newest version of Movable Type — which I hope to upgrade this site to soon — has the capability for commenters to edit their comments…
