Bill Weld Says Comey Off The Reservation. More Importantly: Cites Monty Python.

Bill Weld, who really needs to drop asshat Gary like a cold, said some helpful things today. He's starting to look like the only clean Marine with credibility left in the election. He truly needs to take stock of his life and decide what is best for the county. So Weld, seriously, endorse Hillary and don't Nader us. Please. Leave Johnson on the ticket alone. He will be fine out there with his jeans/yellow tie look. I doubt he will even miss you. Come on over. The water is fine. If you have concerns about Weld and want to remain pure, I feel you. But come on--he cited the Holy Grail (with mock British accent.) Can he be that bad?

First:

Washington (CNN)Libertarian vice presidential nominee William Weld lit into James Comey, saying Monday that his decision to announce a review of new emails was "disgraceful" and that the FBI director and the agency were "off the reservation."

"They're totally off the reservation," Weld told CNN's Alisyn Camerota Monday on "New Day," adding that the US Attorney General may need to get involved to rein in Comey.


Second: More amusingly, and perhaps more astutely, he compared Trump to acting like the witch-burning, duck weighing mob in Monty Python. No information all accusation. She's a witch! Burn her!"

Weld blasted Trump with a reference to the "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" scene where a mob of villagers lob ridiculous arguments that their victim is a witch.
"Mr. Trump braying about this latest development reminds me of the guy in Monty Python who says 'She's a witch, burn her! Burn her!" Weld said, with a mock British accent. "It has no more content than that. And the point of that skit in Monty Python was that those townspeople were ignorant and stupid -- not that they were great."

I'm all for Bill Weld being the token Republican in a Clinton White House.
