The Romney campaign committee just announced that the
candidate was resting uncomfortably after hearing the news that the Supreme
Court found President Obama’s healthcare bill constitutional. A committee spokesperson
said that Romney was stricken with a case of scalia (a particularly virulent virus found in broccoli) just before appearing at a
breakfast sponsored by the National Pork and Barrel Corporation. But he
especially wanted to reassure the undecided voters of America, God bless it, a
President Romney would get over it.
Before keeling over into a bowl of grits, Mr. Romney was telling guests at his five-million-dollar-a-plate
lunch: “With waiting rooms as crowded as they are for us now, this bill is guaranteed
to double the time we spend at our doctor’s office. Now, my friends, no one’s
more motivated to secure government medical coverage for myself, and my
extended family, than I am. And once I get it, I’ll be able to honestly say I’ll
worked for it. Worked every walnut-paneled dining room in every respectable
club in America. And that’s how you make
it in America. Run! Work! And when you’re not doing either of those things, work
it off running, like I’ve been doing! Just look at all the other people out there
who are running twenty-four seven and in fifty places at once. Follow their lead. Just because they’re corporations,
and it may be ‘things’ they’re running, just the same, they’re really like you,
they’re people. I’m sorry folks. You’ll have to excuse me but I’m feeling this
attack of scalia coming on. It’s happened on and off, and on and off throughout
this campaign. I’ve got to go. My wife’s horsing around, if you know what I
mean. Horse prancing. Remember, the answer my friends is to run, and keep
running.”
