The political satire Tail!Spin! was much more lighthearted than the other shows we saw, although it was just as clever and eye opening. The genius of the performance comes in the script, entirely put together with quotes from disgraced politicians throughout our country. The actors easily manage to make fun of representatives such as Anthony Weiner, Mark Sanford, Larry Craig, and Mark Foley all while using the politician’s own speeches, tweets, text messages, and interviews. I really couldn’t believe what I was watching, as the comedy was so jarring simply because the politicians did not need much help in making themselves look like fools. However, the perfect juxtaposition of their promises to the public and the things that they say, tweet, and text in private left me questioning whether all of our politicians are this disparate between their supposed policies and their actual beliefs. For the most part, I appreciated Tail!Spin! because of its entertainment factor. However, the reason that it works so well is because the politicians portrayed are ultimately making fun of themselves, and that idea makes me pretty scared for our political system.
