Outlandishly Hilarious

This was a rather frightening, yet hysterical, trip down memory lane. So much has happened in American politics over the past 20 years. What a blessing it is to have the Capitol Steps around as the bards recording the inane antics of our elected representatives. To prove how great this book is, I've bought three copies of it - one for me and two for other friends. They are phenomenal. Here's to 20 more years of political satire!

Hilarious!

I've been so angry at Washington, DC that I forgot how funny it was! The book details the Capitol Steps origins and how they've made a living making fun of the very same politicians who first employed them in the first place. The accompanying CD was well worth the listen as well and will bide me over to their next radio show.

HILARIOUS!

I've been a fan of the Capitol Steps for years, having listened to them on NPR. This book takes you through their humble beginnings when they were mere Congressional Staffers worried about being fired for making fun of their bosses and through their successes of making fun of 4 Presidents. The accompanying CD is a stitch too, and well worth the money! I recommend it!
