The ghost of Mr. Smith spotted in Washington, DC and he is pissed

With the threat of a government shutdown looming for the 12th time this year, the ghost of Jefferson Smith, the protagonist from the iconic “Mr. Smith goes to Washington,” was seen by numerous tourists and locals at different landmarks today. Reports place the spirit all over Capitol Hill and in front of the White House.
“When we saw him we had no idea what to think. Our children were terrified,” said Jean Arthur, visiting from Columbus, Ohio with her husband and four children. “He was yelling obscenities and demanding a return to the better values of yesteryear. And he was transparent! He looked like a very angry, very drunk ghost. How is that possible? So we called 911.”
We caught up with the apparition at the Hawk n’ Dove, a famous Capitol Hill watering hole. It was clear from his behavior that he had been there a while when we arrived, “I was so disappointed by the Washington I found when I first came here, you know, with the graft and the lying. Seemed too sad to be in the shadow of monuments to some great men and to be so petty,” said Smith. “As bad as things were then, I had no idea it could ever get to this sad state. The country’s rating has been downgraded because of political bullshit? The whole place has reverted to some fiefdom. Congress can’t pass a fucking budget in time to avert a shutdown... what the fuck do they think their job is? To be douchebags? They excel at that. No one cares about the country anymore. Hey, barkeep, another shot of Jamesons toute suite! I need a double!”
Georgetown University professor Jim Taylor explained the sightings this way. “The incredible amount of negative energy had reached a point where it became a physical manifestation. It’s understandable, given the recent events in Congress, that it chose this particular time to appear. The current situation with the latest CR has been really frustrating for many and, well, it’s enough to make more idealistic movie characters come to life.” - Return to Previous Page
