WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In
the hopes of appealing to Republican primary voters, candidates for the
2016 Presidential nomination are working around the clock to unlearn
everything that they have learned since the third grade, aides to the
candidates have confirmed.
With the Iowa caucuses
less than a year away, the hopefuls are busy scrubbing their brains of
basic facts of math, science, and geography in an attempt to resemble
the semi-sentient beings that Republican primary voters prize.
An aide to Jeb Bush acknowledged that, for the former Florida governor, “The unlearning curve has been daunting.”
“The biggest strike against Jeb is that he graduated from college Phi
Beta Kappa,” the aide said. “It’s going to take a lot of work to get his
brain back to its factory settings.”
