Chris Christie could soon be facing legal action from some very illustrious people: Monty Python.
This comes after the Christie campaign used footage of a sketch from Monty Python’s Flying Circus, without having sought permission, for a Web video. The video has since been taken down, but was preserved by Monty Python and given to the Huffington Post.
Monty Python’s Terry Jones, perhaps best known for his screechy-voiced female characters (especially Brian’s mother Mandy in Life of Brian), told the HuffPo that the group is strongly considering a lawsuit for copyright infringement.
“It is totally outrageous that a former US Attorney knows so little about the law that he thinks he can rip off people,” said Jones. “On the other hand — another of Bush’s legal appointees was Alberto Gonzales and he didn’t seem to know much about the law either.”
