Michael Palin plays the lumberjack. John Cleese plays the bureaucrat in the Ministry of Silly Walks sketch. Michael Palin plays the guy who wants to get a government grant for his walk. Another sketch that would be appropriate for Clinton would be the Man Who Says Things in a Very Roundabout Way sketch: Interviewer: Good evening. Well, we have in the studio tonight a man who says things in a very roundabout way. Isn't that so, Mr Pudifoot. Mr Pudifoot: Yes. Interviewer: Have you always said things in a very roundabout way? Mr Pudifoot: Yes. Interviewer: Well, I can't help noticing that, for someone who claims to say things in a very roundabout way, your last two answers have very little of the discursive quality about them. Mr Pudifoot: Oh, well, I'm not very talkative today. It's a form of defensive response to intensive interrogative stimuli. I used to get it badly when I was a boy ... well, I say very badly, in fact, do you remember when there was that fashion for, you know, little poodles with small coats... Interviewer: Ah, now you're beginning to talk in a roundabout way. Mr Pudifoot: Oh, I'm sorry. Interviewer: No, no, no, no. Please do carry on ... because that is in fact why we wanted you on the show. Mr Pudifoot: I thought it was because you were interested in me as a human being. (gets up and leaves) Interviewer: Well... lets move on to our guest who not only lives in Essex but also speaks only the ends of words. Mr Ohn Ith. Mr Ith, good evening.
