The Capitol Steps

Just 38 days before the 2008 presidential election, the Capitol Steps made a triumphant return to the BCPA with their distinctive brand of political humor. Their Sept. 27 show skewering the left, right, and center, and included a little bit of everything.

The election provided ample material for sketches about McCain's age and the press's adoration of Obama. There was also a Shakespearean dig at the Clintons and a duet by Palin and Cheney. Al Gore sang about the environment, the government bailout of Wall Street actually seemed funny, and Bush's trip to Beijing for the Olympics even had the actors in stitches.

But perhaps the crowd's favorite moment was a monologue done in the Steps' trademark speech pattern they call Lirty Dies.
