If you like parody and topical humor, and you're not already a fan of the Capitol Steps, go to their website capsteps.com, and listen to the songs. Their songs and sketches are hilarious, and Sixteen Scandals takes you behind the scenes of the shows, explaining how the group started, grew, and wrote the songs. The book comes with an audio CD that features over an hour of the Steps' humor and songs recorded live in concert in Washington, DC. ( )
