The presidential race is getting a lot of comparisons to the 1975 movie farce "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" these days. Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank has likened Hillary Clinton in her quest for the Democratic nomination to the dead parrot that's sold as still alive and to the Black Knight who defends a bridge after getting his limbs lopped off. New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd also has drawn comparisons to the British comedy troupe's masterpiece.
