Gifted the ability to know higher truth

Being a Newt

With the 2012 presidential campaign in full swing, I’m frequently reminded of the following scene in the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It has always been one of my favorites, but now it seems to have taken on an additional meaning.

Bedevere: Why do you think that she is a witch?
Peasant: Well, she turned me into a newt.
[Bedevere gives him a disbelieving look]
Bedevere: A newt?
[Silence]
Peasant: Well, I got better.
