And he introduced me to my new favorite word…

"It's like a nice looking parrot. Because the parrot speaks beautifully and kinda says, "Aw shucks!" every now and again, but doesn't really have any understanding of the words it's producing, even though it's producing them very accurately…

"I'm sorry, Michael Palin, to say you're not the funniest Palin anymore. But you're not."

Ode to Sean Hannity
by John Cleese

Aping urbanity
Oozing with vanity
Plump as a manatee
Faking humanity
Journalistic calamity
Intellectual inanity
Fox Noise insanity
You're a profanity
Hannity

You can see Olbermann's reading here on MSNBC's site (at about the 2:40 mark).

You know, it's kinda funny. Just the other day, I wrote a poem for Sean Hannity, too. It just came to me while I was watching Fox News after the last debate…

Poem for Sean Hannity
by Dennis DiClaudio

Hey, Sean Hannity
Fuck you

Mine's got more of a beatnik feel to it.

Cleese's is better.

Update: Your poems are already waaaay better than mine, so I'm gonna open this up. Drop your own Hannity-inspired poems in the comments, and I'll pick out a few of my favorites to post. Thanks.
