About this episode
The Weekly Political Extravaganza
0:00
The overture began on Monday morn,
0:03
A brand new headline, freshly born.
0:07
A tweet was launched, a gaffe was heard,
0:10
We all held tight to every word.
0:14
A congressman explained his vote
0:17
While reading from a crumpled note.
0:21
The press corps sharpened up their quills
0:25
For manufactured drama on the hills.
0:28
Oh, what a show! What a glorious mess!
0:32
Is this the script we must confess
0:35
We're acting out with straightest face?
0:39
Another week in this mad place!
0:43
It’s high-camp drama, guaranteed!
0:46
A political stampede!
0:50
So raise the lights and cue the sound,
0:53
The craziest performance to be found!
0:57
By Wednesday, plots began to fray,
1:00
The talking heads had had their say.
1:04
The left side blamed the right side's rage,
1:08
While turning to the very next page.
1:11
A bill was passed, or maybe killed,
1:15
The news alerts our senses filled.
1:18
They held a hearing, oh so grand,
1:22
That no one seemed to understand.
1:26
Oh, what a show! What a glorious mess!
1:29
Is this the script we must confess
1:33
We're acting out with straightest face?
1:36
Another week in this mad place!
1:40
It’s high-camp drama, guaranteed!
1:44
A political stampede!
1:47
So raise the lights and cue the sound,
1:51
The craziest performance to be found!
1:54
The prompter's down, the cues are missed,
1:58
Is there a point to any of this?
2:01
We, the ensemble, stand aghast,
2:05
This long-running show is built to last.
2:09
We thought this was a tragedy,
2:12
But it's a farce for all to see!
2:16
Oh, what a show! What a glorious mess!
2:19
Is this the script we must confess
2:23
We're acting out with straightest face?
2:27
Another week in this mad place!
2:30
It’s high-camp drama, guaranteed!
2:34
A political stampede!
2:37
So raise the lights and cue the sound,
2:41
For the craziest performance... the craziest performance... the craziest performance to be found!
