I have a hard time picturing ++Dolan in a holocaust cloak pointing at Obama and saying, "I'm here for your soooooooullll!" I do however have a picture of ++Dolan in Mass vestments wearing a cheesehead, but cha know, the effect is not the same. "I'm here to clown around!"
Thanks for clip! It led me to a video of the classic goblet scene.
I've always thought that a better ending to that scene would have been that instead of explaining to ButterCup that he had an immunity to Iocane, that Iocane is only fatal when inhaled, not drunk. Thus Wesley defeated (poisoned) Vizzini when he offered him the tube and said "Inhale this, but do not touch."
OTH, poor Vizzini had almost solved the riddle. He deduced it when he said, "You bested my giant and so you might be relying on your great strength to save you." In fact, Wesley was. But Vizzini errs in "but you bested my swordsman and so you must have studied and in studying you must have learned that man is mortal..." Oops. No, in studying Wesley would have learned trickery. So a wise man in a contest where an opponent chooses the outcome must ensure that all outcomes win for him. Ergo, both goblets must be poisoned and either Wesley is immune or has an antidote.

If only the Church was such a quick healer.

If only poor Vizzini had been as smart as me!
