Word is out. Sarah Palin’s daughter will be in a road revival of the musical Annie Get Your Gun. What makes this even more exciting is that Bristol ”the pistol” Palin’s show is produced by the National Rifle Association. It’s apparently the NRA’s brainchild, a way to build support for the organization’s sagging image. Maybe they can get Ted Nugent to play Buffalo Bill.
I think it’s a brilliant idea. Imagine the possibilities for
other organizations needing a little help with their public perception. The Mormon Church could revive Seven Brides For Two Brothers, starring
the Romneys.

| Anthony Perkins: Psycho |
Breaking News: Marco Rubio will replace Jeb Bush as The Man From La Mancha when Bush finally realizes he’s not
Hispanic. In a search for an Anthony
Perkins look-alike for a Koch
Brothers’ musical version of Psycho,
they are thrilled to announce that Tom
Cotton will play the part. “He’s perfect, wound, you know, just a little
too tight,” said director Karl Rove.
Other Broadway snippets:
It is rumored Mike Huckabee
will take the lead in the Music Man.
His song, “Trouble, oh we got trouble right here in Indiana, trouble with a
capital ‘T’ and that rhymes with ‘G’ and that stands for gay.” In the interim, Huckabee
will take the lead as the sheriff of Mayberry. Bobby Jindal will take the role as his nervous deputy, Barney Fife.
In this new Broadway-bound version, gays, poor people and uppity women will go
to jail. Ted Cruz will guest star as
Jesus H. Christ, who visits Aunt Bee to take back her Social Security check in
a particularly touching episode in which Opie is refused admittance to the
local hospital for lack of health insurance, but is treated by Floyd the
barber, in a cameo by Mitch McConnell.

The Odd Couple
Returns again and again. This time, the organization, People For Continual War will
produce a Broadway version featuring John
McCain and Lindsay Graham. Next on Lindsay’s schedule is La Cage Aux Folles, where he will
pretend he knows more about football and soldiering than designer ball gowns.

My spies are checking the rumor that Donald Trump will star in a restaging of Hairspray. “I know they're
looking for someone tackier, but I felt that I could reach deep down in my soul
and find this quality,” Trump said. His
PACS have already raised $3.75 in crowd funding, not quite enough for a slice
of pizza, but Trump has plans to sell his failing casinos to Wal-Mart to get his show up and running.

The Honeymooners on 42nd
Street. Watch for Chris Christie as bus driver Ralph
Kramden and Rick Santorum as Ed
Norton in this revival. Pundits say his
is a real stretch for Santorum because Norton’s character is supposed to come
across as a human being.
Rand Paul and Rick Perry will star in an adaptation
of Deliverance, The Musical. Rand, it
is reported, will play a dueling banjo in the production. Insiders aren’t sure
what that means.
The Eagle Forum will produce a Broadway tribute to The Golden Girls, starring Phyllis Schiafly as the oldest resident
of a shared house in Arizona or Arkansas — one is a dry heat. The show also stars Carly Fiorina, Michelle
Bachman and Sarah Palin. In a
departure from the original concept, none of these Golden girls are
particularly bright.

The Family Research Council is begging the trending Ted Cruz to join them in various
productions, but he said the only role he was prepared to take is Jesus Christ, just not that last part. He is currently auditioning for the U.S.
Presidency or “the Savior” as he prefers to be called. He had admitted he was
concerned he would be confused with Tom
Cruise, or perhaps with Christ himself. Scott
Walker, in an effort to compete, tried to find a role he could play. Unfortunately there is no character for
someone who has no character. “Mean and petty, isn’t enough,” said a
spokesperson for the Club For Growth, which denies they help people grow
hair. They suggested Walker take the title
role in The Invisible Man, but Dr. Ben Carson had already been cast.
I’m sorry, Democrats, you’re just not as silly as Republicans.
