SCENE: \u00a0Mitch BERG is walking into the Russian Tea House on University Avenue for some piroshki and borscht. \u00a0As he walks up the steps, Avery LIBRELLE is walking out. \u00a0BERG can’t avoid LIBRELLE; the meeting is inevitable. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

LIBRELLE: \u00a0Merg!<\/p>\n

BERG: \u00a0Er…hey, Avery. \u00a0 Didn’t know you liked Russian food.<\/p>\n

LIBRELLE: \u00a0 I don’t. \u00a0I was just going door to door looking for contributions to my new PAC.<\/p>\n

BERG: \u00a0Huh. \u00a0Did you get anything?<\/p>\n

LIBRELLE: \u00a0 Not yet.<\/p>\n

BERG: \u00a0 Well, hey, I’m just gonna grab some…<\/p>\n

LIBRELLE: \u00a0So shame on your for accusing Hillary Clinton of spreading\u00a0the “Birther” rumor! \u00a0I fact-checked you by going to “AllTheFactsYouNeedToKnowAboutPolitics.com”, a production of the Non-Partisan Center For Non-Partisan Progress, and they said that Hillary never, ever, personally used the word “Birther”.<\/p>\n

BERG: \u00a0 Nobody said she did it personally. \u00a0Her campaign used surrogates to do it.<\/p>\n

LIBRELLE: \u00a0But\u00a0she didn’t do it personally<\/em>, so you’re a liar and a hypocrite!<\/p>\n

BERG: \u00a0 So if someone’s campaign spreads information, but the candidate doesn’t do it himself, then the candidate is blameless.<\/p>\n

LIBRELLE: \u00a0 Right!<\/p>\n

BERG: \u00a0 By that logic, the Holocaust never happened, since Hitler didn’t personally kill a single Jew.<\/p>\n

LIBRELLE: \u00a0 Let me check with\u00a0AllTheFactsYouNeedToKnowAboutPolitics.com when I get to the library.<\/p>\n

BERG: \u00a0 Right. \u00a0And the fact that Hillary’s campaign spread the “Obama is a Muslim” rumor<\/a> never happened, since the words “Obama is a muslim” never crossed Hillary’s lips?<\/p>\n

LIBRELLE: \u00a0That’s correct. \u00a0If the candidate doesn’t say it, it never happened.<\/p>\n

BERG: \u00a0Gotcha.<\/p>\n

LIBRELLE: \u00a0Hey – wanna donate to my PAC?<\/p>\n
