The Washington Post easily proves it's a secular liberal newspaper at Christmas time. On Friday, the Post promoted a "dragapella" quartet mocking Christmas (and the incoming administration) in two different sections of the paper, in the Style section and in the Weekend tabloid. In Style, theatre critic Celia Wren hailed the Kinsey Sicks and their show "Oy Vey in a Manger!" at the D.C. Jewish Community Center.
In between cleaning and gossiping about their love lives, the gals (who are decked out in party dresses, with gloves) share a cappella versions of seasonal favorites such as “God Bless Ye Femmy Lesbians,” “I Had a Little Facial” and the ribald “Lusty the Snowman.” No sacred cow is too delicate for this foursome to rope into a rodeo of spoofery. Most major religions come in for at least one dig — in some cases, in connection with the fact that Rachel and Winnie are Jewish, and Trampolina and Trixie, Christian. Even the history of the Donner Party becomes fodder for song (“Soylent Night”).
