The Capitol Steps' 4th of July Edition of Politics Takes a Holiday

This Independence Day, enjoy the Capitol Steps one-hour long special, "Politics Takes a Holiday!"

It's the most wonderful time of the year when Presidential candidates emerge from their political slumbers and proclaim themselves fit to rule this Nation. The singing political comedians will take on Jeb Bush, Hillary Clinton, Ted Cruz, Bernie Sanders and all the other "76 Unknowns" who have thrown their hat (and your money) into the ring. Its time to "Mock the Vote" in 2015!

So relax and celebrate your country by helping the Capitol Steps make fun of it. It's not like there isn't a lot of material to work with...

You can hear The Capitol Steps on Saturday, July 4 at 2 p.m. and again on Sunday, July 5 at 7 p.m. as part of Public Radio Presents (Snap Judgment will be preempted on Saturday). Audio and more information is available on The Capitol Steps site.
