Rocco as Constitutional Scholar
VINNIE O. (just received his Political Science Degree from Penn)
Let’s see if I got this right: Bush and Cheney should be impeached because they’re Fascist traitors who invited their rich goombahs to line up outside the Treasury with bushel baskets?
ROCCO
We hold those truths to be self-evident.
VINNIE O.
Well, you’re a bit pastoral. No bushel baskets. More like fifty-five gallon drums.
Your vision too pure. Things are more complex–-need a dolly for one thing.
ROCCO
They all have their Dollies. Right alongside their bible thumpers.
VINNIE O.
Be fair!
ROCCO
I understate. Best I can do. The villains are Shakespearian!
