Some of the show’s most humorous moments reside with the antics of Gus T. Hickey ’11 and Elliott J. Rosenbaum ’12, who play the two charming but philandering princes. As a duo, they are masters of comic timing and innuendo. Hickey also takes on the role of the Wolf, who pursues Little Red Riding Hood with a relish that echoes the hunt the princes engage in as they chase after Cinderella and Rapunzel...
Their op-ed brims with innuendo and pretends to be revealing the former Harvard president’s views about women and features a “quote” that Summers—they think—would have used to respond to criticism. This would be perfectly fine on a page of a fiction magazine, since the total number of quotes by Summers not dreamed up by Farley and Stone in this op-ed is zero.

Conservative kvetchers usually have a more serious bogeyman in mind: voters using dead people’s names, campaign workers coercing or bribing people into voting for their man—that sort of thing. But their evidence is almost always mere innuendo. Consider The Wall Street Journal’s John Fund, who leads a cottage industry of voter-fraud hyperventilators. The day before the election, Fund laughably tried to tie ACORN, that all-purpose conservative bugaboo, to anticipated wrong-doings in New Jersey: “Philly operatives associated in the past with ACORN may now be advising...
