Watching PM David Cameron being grilled in the House of Commons yesterday over the hacking scandal, I was struck by the fact that Speaker John Bercow kept reminding me of somebody…

He would interrupt the grumbling and harrumphing with calls to order that were occasionally starchy (such as when he said this is the “Mother of Parliaments,” and therefore should show the world how it’s done with decorum), but occasionally with jolly good humor.

And then it struck me — Terry Jones of Monty Python.

OK, they don’t look exactly alike, but if you see them in action, they have a similar manner about them. Maybe they were just fraternal twins…
