I'm trying to remember
Per their Website's self-description, "The Capitol Steps, the only group in America that attempts to be funnier than the Congress, is a troupe of current and former Congressional staffers who monitor events and personalities on Capitol Hill, in the Oval Office, and in other centers of power 
and prestige around the world and then take a humorous look at serious issues while providing a nationwide laugh for millions..."
I can't recall how hard they came down on the Clinton administration, but they are certainly having their way with the Bush II administration. Regardless of political leaning, however, you have to appreciate the quality of the satire. These folks deserve more time in the spotlight than they get.
"Korea," sung to the tune of West Side Story's "Maria," is a fabulous piece that not only pokes fun at the president's alleged intelligence (take that any way you wish), but brilliantly skewers foreign policy and celebrity politics. Probably the best work I've heard lately, though, is "Evolution" from the album It's Not Over 'Til The First Lady Sings. Its a great faux advert for the mock album The Greatest Hits of the Kansas School Board and rakes each side of the Evolution issue over the coals.
Like any political humor the songs quickly become dated, but those of us with an historical bent and a funny bone will appreciate the Capitol Steps for some time to come. After all, I still listen to Vaughn Meader's The First Family albums (related link1 link2). And hiding out still in its original cellophane is the follow up album about the "other" first family of the time, the Kruchevs. I would love to listen to it, but I'm sure that if I keep it pristine someone will give me double what I paid for it -- $2.00 at a yard sale.
A key difference between the efforts like Meader's from the '60s and the most recent political comedy - like the Capitol Steps - is the tone. I suppose humor turning bitter and adversarial is cyclical (think of the political cartoons from shortly after the American Revolution) but I'm beginning to tire of the negativity. I certainly look forward to some non-partisan humor. Bring on the irony!
