Grade Grubbing the Romney Way: A play

$

0

Setting --  Classroom, presumably after class has ended. Mitt Romney is dressed casually, yet crisply in a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up and high-waisted jeans.  The teacher is gathering his materials from the lecture.

Teacher:   Yes, Mr. Romney, you wanted to speak to me about your test?

Romney:  I got an A on the test.

Teacher:  No, no you didn't.  Not only did you give the wrong answer, you did not show your work, so I can't even give you partial credit.

Romney:  I will give you the supporting work after you give me he grade for the semester.

Teacher: No, I need it to be able to give you a grade.

Romney:  I have 6 studies that prove my answer is the correct one.

Teacher: You...have...studies?

Romney: Yes. (Hands the Teacher a piece of paper.)

Teacher looks over the paper.

Teacher:  A blog post by someone pledging your fraternity?

Romney: That is a bipartisan study.

Teacher: This one says it could be true if the numbers in the problem were different.

Romney:  Exactly.

Teacher:  A tweet from your mom?

Romney:  That is totally independent analysis.  Oh look, here is someone else who can back up my answer...

Enter Paul Ryan wearing a backwards baseball cap.

Ryan: (very politely)  Mr. Romney is correct.

Teacher:  Have you seen the test question?  How could his answer possibly correct?

Ryan:  Because it is net.  But it would take too much time to explain.  

Romney:  Also, I care about everyone. 100%.  I give them $30million and some of them aren't even Mormons.

Ryan : Although some have been in fatal car crashes.  And now we have to go to Logic class.  I have a presentation about why women shouldn't have healthcare because my wife and I nicknamed our fetus daughter Bean.

Teacher:  Hey we nicknamed our fetus Peanut!

Ryan/Romney together:  So an A, right?

Teacher:  Well...there is another test next week...you will back up you numbers for that one, right?

Ryan/Romney:  Of course.  Would we lie to you?

                                                  The End
