Since you have made reference to a political campaign in a Monty Python sketch, who represents the Sensible Party? I can’t see Whitney filling that role. It certainly isn’t Cohen, who appears more like the Wood Party candidate who fell through the earth’s crust.
By the way, where is commenter D.P. Gumby, who should be the one making that reference? He would have the best comment of all about this race: “My brain hurts!”
