Editorial Reviews

Product Description
* This album could not be any more relevant than during the 2008 Presidential election. ALL candidates are featured!

* Brings a lighter side to politics (without getting too dark or edgy) by offering non-partisan, equal-opportunity offense to both sides of the political spectrum.

* Heard on public radio four times a year during the Capitol Steps special Politics Takes a Holiday: April Fools Day, 4th of July, Halloween, and New Years.

* Has been featured on NBC, CBS, ABC, and PBS.

* The Capitol Steps began as a group of Senate staffers who set out to satirize the very people and places that employed them. Although ot all of the current members are former Capitol Hill staffers, taken ogether they have worked in a total of 18 Congressional offices and represent 62 years of collective House and Senate staff experience.

"The Capitol Steps make it easier to leave public life." -- Former President George Bush Sr.

"Some people in Washington are confused ... the Capitol Steps are not." -- Former Vice President Al Gore

"I like it better when they make fun of Clinton." -- Newt Gingrich

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun with Politics!, January 5, 2009
By SandyCB "sandycb" (Urbana, IL) - See all my reviews
  
Like the previous reviewer we've especially enjoyed this cd on long drives, although I thought the final piece went on a big too long, like an SNL skit run amok. The rest is so perfect it doesn't matter a bit. The take off on Stairway to Heaven is especially amazing, and the Huckabee song set to Let It Be hijacks your brain. My husband found himself humming "who would Jesus vote for? Huckabee, Huckabee." The surprise? My kids, ages 7 and 9, loved it too. They responded to the catchy show tunes rather than satire, but who cares? Bliss.

5.0 out of 5 stars Consistent quality satire, November 24, 2008
The Capitol Steps continue their incisive political satire in this CD. It's a great CD to listen to on a long drive - especially the concluding piece with transposed letters.
