Relive the comedy and tragedy that was Jeb Bush's candidacy in Jeb! The Musical
It's the musical you never knew you wanted, and the one you now can't imagine living without: Jeb! An American Disappointment! (Please Clap).
The Pulitzer Prize committee should just give next year's drama award out now to the dozens of contributors who turned the saga of Jeb Bush and his erstwhile 2016 rivals into a two-act, 46 song extravaganza. You'll find yourself humming along to such ditties as "Donald Trump, Chump," "He's Not Mitt," and "Jeb! Bush, Exclamation Point," and cheering on (or rooting against) Marco Rubio (Sippin' Water Since 2013), Chris Christie (Bridges Hate Him), and John Kasich (Aw Jeez People).
The musical is available online in its entirety, ready to be performed by only the most seasoned of performers able to handle such sick rhymes as "Hey, Trump: Knock, knock, who's there/What a shock, it's Jebby from the block/I'm servin' up some spicy guac, and it's hotter than hot/If you can't eat it you can leave it, and step right off my jock."
