Miley Cyrus playing Michelle Bachmann. John Boehner was portrayed as a freak.

(17,149 posts)In 1980, the late night comedy show Fridays had a skit called "The Ronnie Horror Picture Show," spoofing the election of President Ronald Reagan. The parts were cast to show members of the administration and songs were rewritten using the same melodies, but parody lyrics, describing the Republican "takeover" of the country.
It's subversive comedy genius. Make sure you watch Part 2, with Reagan as the Transsexual Transvestite. The well-dressed host is Vice President George Bush.

Part 2:

She couldn't quite get the eyes in the beginning, but that was a great effort and I don't think many people could make their eyes do what Bachman does. The blank -- DUH -- look on Boehner was too perfect!
The guy nailed Boehner, although it wouldn't have hurt to make him a little oranger.

In fact, the whole thing!
