Capitol Steps is only for those who follow politcs but can take a joke about it. They are equal opportunity offenders but are obviously intended for the more liberal. This will have you laughing out loud. However, if you have seen them on tour recently, you've probably heard the material.

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.

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.
