Capital Steps: Politics Takes a Holiday

Tue., Dec. 30 at 8 p.m. and Wed., Dec. 31 at 3 p.m. on WAMU 88.5

Say 'yes we can' to listening to the Capitol Steps' annual year's end award ceremony.

Should old acquaintance be forgot? Not if the Capitol Steps have a say! New categories this year include: 'Worst Use of a Plumber by a Politician (since Nixon)', 'Best Shade of Lipstick for a Pig' and 'Most Creative Excuse to Buy $150,000 Worth of Clothes.'

And, in a stunning announcement - it's official - Alaska has overtaken long-time winner Florida as the nation's funniest state, by winning in both the 'Best Home Renovation by a Politician"" and 'Fastest Time Field-Dressing a Moose' categories.

Join Barack Obama, John McCain, Sarah Palin, Oprah Winfrey, FEMA, everyone who owns a sub-prime mortgage, Hillary Clinton, and many, many more as the Capitol Steps bring you their hour long year in review. You have every reason to look forward to 2009, but not before we make fun of 2008 first.
