Comedy Congress - Hosted by Patt Morrison

The Crawford Family Forum
Pasadena, CA

The only true medicine for the pain of politics is laughterafter all, if we weren't laughing at the (mostly) unintentional humor emanating from Washington D.C. and state capitols, chances are we'd be crying. As Republicans take over the House gridlock has settled into Congress while both sides insist on refighting old fights. Haven't we seen this healthcare reform movie before? Budget battles, hand-wringing over the Middle East and a half-hearted attempt at civility in politics all just means more comedic material for us. Tomorrow we'll probably cry about our lost jobs, but today join us in laughing at the madness of it allthe truth hurts far less when it's told by comedians.
