Lying in State September 18, 2008

'Lying in State,' state senator Ed dies in a ridiculous gun accident that has made him a national hero. The local political leaders are frantically looking for someone to fill his senate seat. While his ex-wife Edna is looking for a bugler to play at his funeral, his fiancee Buttons, a bombshell stripper, just can't understand why she can't fill the senatorial seat herself. Add to the confusion a game of musical caskets and warring political cronies and dysfunctionality abounds with this host of zany characters who are looking for love, votes, and a big purple squirrel named Mel.
