The passive construction "was discovered" doesn't let on about the blog where this connection was first posted, but whatever. Agitated? Irritable? Hostile? Aggressive? Impulsive? Restless', Dana Milbank's piece about the House's reaction to the connection between NRCC's "Change You Deserve"...

Namely, one of my favorite skits from the “Flying Circus,” you know, the one with the dead parrot. Priceless.

Dana Milbank joined Team Clinton for the anticipation and aftermath of Tuesday's West Virginia primary and came away, well, you'll see. It starts with a headline of "This Is an Ex-Candidate" and goes from there. If stores like this aren't...

Dana Milbank of the Washington Post has a pretty devastating (to Clinton supporters) article in the Washington Post called This is an Ex-Candidate. Playing off an old Monty Python skit, he also glimpses inside the campaign a bit and offers...

All candidates have their patent campaign moves. For Hillary Clinton, it is the point and wave. You know you are no longer the press's darling when they expose your secret (popat kiya in Bombay linkgo) as Dana Milbank did in Washington Post today: 2:57 p.m., Yeager Airport, Charleston, W.Va.: A steep descent brings Clinton's plane [...]

If you haven't read Dana Milbank’s piece in today's Washington Post likening Hillary Clinton's campaign to the parrot in the Python sketch that's not dead, but pining for the fjords, you should do so…. NOW! I especially love this passage: 2:57 p.m., Yeager Airport, Charleston, W.Va.: A steep descent brings Clinton's plane to Charleston's hilltop airport. [...]

The media coverage of the West Virginia shares my sentiments in describing it as Hillary's Last Hurrah. Clinton's victory in Appalachia is being treated like a late touchdown against the second team when the outcome is no longer in doubt. Dana Milbank calls Clinton an ex-candidate and compares her to a dead parrot. Besides winning the [...]

Dana Milbank wrote on washingtonpost.com This Is an Ex-Candidate - It's Day 7 of the Clinton Campaign Death Watch -- a full week since the official arbiter of the Democratic primary, Tim Russert, declared the campaign over and Barack Obama the nominee. Since when is Tim Russert in charge of the nominating process for the Democratic Party? Hillary Clinton's advisers continue to insist...

The Washington Post's Dana Milbank writes a funny(ish) political bit called "This is an Ex-Candidate," linking the Clinton campaign to Monty Python's "ex-parrot" skit. Which is amusing -- and was when I did the same thing last week....

Dana Milbank of the Washington Post in This Is an Ex-Candidate 2:57 p.m., Yeager Airport, Charleston, W.Va .: A steep descent brings Clinton's plane to Charleston's hilltop airport. After an appropriate wait, she steps from the plane and pretends to wave to a crowd of supporters; in fact, she is waving to 10 photographers underneath the airplane's wing. She pretends to spot an old friend...

Dana Milbank wrote a piece this morning, interspersing Clinton's campaign stops with quotes from Monty Python's Dead Parrot skit. You might think that would be hilariously funny, except it's rather sad. This particular bit was so sad that I just couldn't stop thinking about it. 2:57 p.m., Yeager Airport, Charleston, W.Va.: A steep descent brings Clinton's plane to Charleston's hilltop...
