Palin is actually part of a deep philosophical tradition
Reader comment on item: Admitting Censorship due to Islamist Intimidation
Submitted by Kepha Hor (United States), Dec 31, 2013 at 23:20
Terry Jones, and now Michael Palin, are good, faithful disciples of Bertrand Russell. Russell once said he would rather live on his knees than die on his knees, and now the Monty Pythons are showing us all how to live on our knees in good, Russell-esque style.
What do you call a bold iconoclast of yesteryear?
Chicken!
