Bart: Well, as Mrs. Krabappel already mentioned, the name of the book that I read was Treasure Island. It's about these pirates, (Looks at the illustrated cover of the book.) pirates with patches over their eyes, (Looks at cover.) and shiny gold teeth, (Looks at cover.) and green birds on their shoulders. Did I mention this book was written (Looks at cover.) by a guy named Robert Louis Stevenson? (Looks at cover.) And published by the good people at McGraw-Hill. So, in conclusion, on the Simpson scale of one to ten--ten being the highest, one being the lowest and five being average--I give this book a nine. (Clears throat) Any questions?
What I always loved about that scene is that when she asks for the name of the pirate and he runs through some in his head, it does include the right answer (such is the cultural influence of Treasure Island) but he gets unlucky in the one he picks.
Trump is/was like this except instead of laughing I just felt angry, embarrassed, horrified, depressed and a myriad of other terrible emotions while the moron continued make what seemed like a bad movie a dark reality.
