The premise
Here’s the bit.
John Boehner and Michele Bachmann celebrate the federal government shutdown with a lavish, unruly house party. Their gleeful music video turns a budget impasse into an occasion for dancing, drinking and contempt for the services that have stopped.
An astronaut and a park ranger sit idle while the festivities grow stranger. Uncle Sam joins the spectacle, and Barack Obama peers out at the chaos. The film parodies the sound and imagery of Miley Cyrus’s We Can’t Stop, with Cyrus playing Bachmann opposite Taran Killam’s Boehner.
