Circa December 1978:
"In a bold move to bolster the sagging economy, Reagan also announced that he intends to abolish the Federal Department of Education. Reagan claims the strategy will aid millions of out of work Americans with college degrees who can now be put to work reading conservative books and magazines aloud to a generation of younger, illiterate citizens." - Charles Rocket, Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update
Just replace "Reagan" with any Republican member of Congress, and it's completely relevant more than 30 years later!
