That poem and it's explanation was really awkward. Also, since when is 'berk' a cockny rhyming slang for 'berkely hunt'? Or is that just the cool British way of saying "it's an abbreviation"?
You don't seem to be very knowledgeable about Cockney rhyming slang. And neither does Olbermann, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Cleese to say "cunt" on live television. That is forgivable, however, you giving Cleese less than 5 stars is not. You bloody Ethan.
Cleese studied law at Cambridge and, like most of the Pythons, is quite knowledgeable about and has a genuine interest in global politics. I challenge you to compare his credentials with any of those held by the talking heads that comprise the American media. (Olberman graduated from Cornell in communications) If we have to import our gadflies, so be it. We desperately need them.
