Mark Russell Special #1205 (1987) Part 2/3

Mark Russell gives out the "Second Banana Nobel Prize in Economics" to Orel Roberts, the priest who raised millions of dollars using a threat from God. Mark also discusses Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden's plagirism scandal that caused him to pull out of the 1988 race, and sings a wonderful parody of a song from "The Music Man" to describe the Congressional hearings for Robert Bork's nomination to the Supreme Court. Also, he discusses Robert Woodward's book on Bill Casey, the White House advisor who died on the eve of the breaking of the Iran-Contra scandal, and was subsequently blamed by his co-conspirators for everything. (Is there no respect for the dead?)

A great reminder of just who Biden is...with Hillary remarking about Obama: "Change you can xerox"...add that to Biden and you have the "lobachevsky ticket"

I wonder what song Mark's parodizing when he sang about Biden's plagiarism...?
