Does Life Imitate Monty Python?
Sure seems that way. Consider:
New York Post, 08/15/04
"Golan Cipel, the Israeli with whom New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey claims he had an affair, is straight and was
sexually assaulted by the politician on more than a dozen occasions, Cipel's lawyers told The Post in an interview last night." [emphasis added]
Monty Python's Life of Brian, 1979
MANDY [Brian's mom]: Well, I suppose I should have told you a long time ago, but...
BRIAN: What?
MANDY: Well, Brian...your father isn't Mr. Cohen.
BRIAN: I never thought he was.
MANDY: Now, none of your cheek! He was a Roman, Brian. He was a centurion in the Roman army.
BRIAN [shocked]: You mean--you were raped?!
MANDY: Well, at first, yes.
