With a portrait of George Washington looking on, the 8th Assembly District’s selection committee is meeting. The committee chair calls upon Mr. Robert Benchley, who represents a candidate named Mirney. Benchley gives a speech full of non sequiturs, clichés, and bromides. The audience gets restless, some leave. Benchley pulls out a chart, showing a potential dam his own candidate opposes. He takes us through the details of the plan, some of which are absurd. He concludes, lamely, in mid-sentence; then he leaves, forgetting his shoes. |
