The first time I saw this was during the last US elections (2004?) when it
took weeks to elect a president (Bush/Gore) due I think to problems with
counting the votes in Florida? As an Englishman in Houston at the time I found
Cleese's satire quite amusing if more than a litle unkind.

Actually... the original text of this reads"In light
of
your failure in recent
years to nominate competent candidates". Kinda changes
the meaning, a lot, espescialy since no candidates
have as yet been nominated
in the current race.
Speaking as an artist, It's probably best not to alter
and attribute unintended meaning in another persons
name.
