"All they play during the votes is music by dead old white guys. That's not what the kids today wanna listen to. They should play some rap, R&B, heavy metal....anything but the jive they keep playing. If they don't agree to change, I'll introduce a bill to demand that they do so immediately."
"There are so many great artists that would get our young people involved. Aretha, P. Diddy, Lil Wayne, NWA, Eminem...this would make people tune in to watch our government."
"The House could even have its own app..you could sync your I-phone to it, and get some tunes while the House votes."
"The Republicans, because they hate Pres. Obama, and want him to fail, are attempting yet again to get rid of Obamacare. Imagine, just imagine, if back when the House passed the original Affordable Care Act, C-span had been playing Michael Jackson's 'Thriller." Millions of young Americans would have tuned in, and heard what we Democrats are trying to accomplish, to give ALL Americans access to health care. Then they'd be supporting us overwhelmingly."

Sheila Jackson Lee really needs to move to some sub-Saharan African country and get involved in politics there. She really would be much happier.

In a strange way, Scott Joplin-written Ragtime would be the perfect accompaniment to congressional votes.

Dang, that's 30 years old. That would be like asking the teenaged hippies in the 60s to listen to Benny Goodman.

"This has got to stop," Jackson-Lee said. "Nobody listens to that s**t any more. This is designed to discourage the youth, and minorities, from tuning in and paying attention to their government." LOL. This is funny. If she would have stopped at "This has got to stop. Nobody listens to that s**t anymore," it would have been great. Even though the rest is hilarious too, I'm sure she didn't mean it to be.

Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee held an impromptu press conference outside the House chamber, while the House was voting to defund Obamacare; to demand that C-span stop playing classical music during televised House votes. "This has got to stop," Jackson-Lee said. "Nobody listens to that s**t any more. This is designed to discourage the youth, and minorities, from tuning in and paying attention to their government." And in related news, Pope's Playlist: Pontiff Reveals Classical Favorites

The mark of excellent satire is that you're not really sure if it's satire.
Well played, FRiend.
