12 A terrific sendup of Les Misérables gacked from shelly_rae. The thing that struck me most about this is that you couldn’t imagine the McCain campaign making it, or anyone making it about the McCain campaign.

This is fantastic! And very clever. Loved the McCain and Palin stand-ins, too. Someone know his/her Le Miz! I was super impressed for about three seconds until I realized they were lip syncing.

Yeah, they’re apparently an improv troupe. Very impressive.

Ha! Here’s looking up your nostrils, Kid.

Well done, though I’m sure it would have made more sense had I ever seen Les Miz.

I saw it: I’m not so sure. All you really have to know is that the scene takes place the day before the Paris uprising of June 1832.

Five points to Mr. Howe for the correct conjugation of the verb Gack.
While you might miss the nuances of the love triangle or that Javert/McCain is hiding his evil doings under the disguise of a revolutionary (can you say maverick? change?) I think the main idea of young people gathering together to fight for what they believe in comes across.

The painful point of that triangle is Fielding Edlow.

Wow. Just . . . wow.
Reminds me how much I like Les Mis, too.

Hey! I have to read the book. I saw the Broadway version and wasn’t enthralled. Say hello to the Birthday Girl for me.

It’s almost hypnotic, isn’t it?
