And once she got that out of the way, it was time to get down to business.

Show business, that is!

Welp.

Democrats applauded after the song (performed via video) concluded and Pelosi said it was important to have the arts as part of this.

I was not expecting the arts today!

Maybe you weren’t, Arthur … but Democrats love nothing more than theater.

This is not the Onion, for the record. Though it’s pretty close:
