About this Episode

Sen. John Kennedy is the funniest man in Washington, and he lands harder than most of the people who are actually trying to be serious.

In this episode, I sit down with Producer Clayton and go through Kennedy's best moments: the hearing-room lines, the cable hits, and the campaign ad where he told people who hate cops to call a crackhead the next time they need help. We get into why nobody can really argue with him, and why he might be the way people who can't stand politics end up paying attention anyway.

Then there's Margaret. Kennedy named his elliptical trainer after Margaret Thatcher, and I have no notes.
