Congress Not Sophisticated Enough to Enjoy Political Theater
According to Chris Dodd no deal on The Econopalypse was struck today. Mostly because negotiations were interrupted by "political theater"…
"My hope is that we can get a deal," said Senator Christopher J. Dodd, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, hours after House and Senate negotiators had announced that an accord was at hand. It had also been President Bush’s hope that an agreement could be announced after the late-afternoon meeting.
Looking tired and annoyed, Mr. Dodd complained that late complications were making the episode sound more like "a rescue plan for John McCain," the Republican presidential candidate, than one for the country's financial system.
It does no good, Mr. Dodd said, "to be distracted for two or three hours by political theater."
Ugh! I hate political theater! And just look at that picture up there. You can tell that was some particularly tedious political theater they were forced to be distracted by.
I totally agree with Dodd on this one. I just can't sit through political theater, either. It does me no good at all.
I mean, I know I'm supposed to like being distracted by it and all. And, sure, I'll go and get distracted by some political theater if I think it's gonna get me politically laid. But, on the whole, political theater is just way too slow and boring for me to get distracted by. I'm always tempted to sneak out during political intermission and go find a political bar to get politically drunk in.
Unless there's political frontal nudity. That, I don't mind.
But how often does that really happen?

I only approve of political frontal nudity if its Jon Stewart. Mmmm.
I love free form political dance theater. Nothing better than seeing your congressman in black tights.

Theater? Actually McCain and Bush's photo-op stunt today was more like Performance fArt.

Dear me, no, stinkysusan, not political musical theater. John McCain's personal style requires nothing less than grand opera. It's an art form that lends itself to expansive, if sometimes incomprehensible plots; it often features exotic locales (Alaska might qualify); the leading ladies (divas) speak (or sing) in what sounds like foreign languages; and the cast of characters may contain one or more clowns, not all of whom are sympathetic. In this instance, the music really should be composed by John Cage. Everyone will find it unbearable.
The only things worse: political opera.
That, and cheery show tunes with political puns.
Full frontal of Jon is ruined by the wheezing.
This election season screams: Musical !
