Manchin tastes like corn on the cob.

His flesh is so delectable.
He’ll soon be unelectable.

Democratic Senator Joe Manchin III is eaten alive in this new comedic musical that's not at all based on Man of La Mancha. Absurd, grotesque, and for legal purposes, 100% satire, Manchin serves up a radical dish that just might feed the soul of a nation in need of liberation.
