They were only arrested because they attacked a politician.

good one, one of my favorite Monty moments.
Holy Smokes, I thought the one on the right was a guy, give her credit, she didn't have much for looks to begin with and put the work in to look worse, she definitely accomplished what she worked for.
What school do they teach at?
The one with green hair is a woman?
I bet neither one of them bitches knows how to make a decent sammich.
I'm conflicted...On the one hand, anyone that beats the snot out out of a politician, especially a democratic one, I want to assist in bailing them out of jail.

Unless you count the encounter with the gay democrat politician.
