Reply #9: Nah more basic than that

I remember a number of years ago i took a sales class at the local community college.
As a community institution it took any and everyone.
First class the teacher has everyone take out the text and 1 by 1 has everyone read a paragraph or 2 form the text.
My first thought was My god this is going to be the dreaded read from the book class from Hell.
About 2/3 of the way thru the class i figured out what was going on.
The teacher was trying to determine if everyone in the class knew how to read. To my complete shock, it was clear that a couple pretty much did not. The teacher then to his credit, adapted his methods to ensure these 2 or 3 students could still recieve value from the class.

My point???

By reading the constiution out loud, republican party leadership was able to determine if the tea baggers were even dumber than they looked.
