It’s not exactly life imitating art, more like reality imitating reality TV, but the Catfightin’ Congresswomen of Washington could be the hottest new show in the capital.
In last week’s episode, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Domestic Longhair) told Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Abyssinian) that Crockett couldn’t see through her false eyelashes. Crockett responded by referencing a hypothetical colleague with a “beach blonde, bad-built butch body.”
This is the AI-assisted internet era, so within hours, Crockett’s tongue-twisting insult fueled a raft of YouTube videos, in various musical styles. Let’s start with a soul tune from Los Angeles comedian King Willonius (real name Willonius Hatcher), who produced it with the help of AI.
The phrase spawned several hip-hop remixes of what amounts to a diss track. This one pares it all the way down to the sextuple B.
Naturally, a guy with a guitar wrote a country tune about the incident, but it won’t appeal to MTG fans.
This is by no means a comprehensive survey. For most people politics is entertainment, and America’s smartasses are eager to provide the soundtrack.
