The Constitution promised a More Perfect Union. It's a shame no one bothered to write a more perfect Constitution-one that didn't trigger more than two centuries of arguments about what the darn thing actually says. Until now.
Kevin Bleyer, the Emmy Award-winning writer for THE DAILY SHOW WITH JON STEWART, undertook a monumental task• to rewrite the entire Constitution, settling once and for all what it's truly about. As is, the Constitution is a hot mess. It doesn't mention slavery, or democracy, or even Facebook; it plays favorites among the states; it has typos; and its Preamble was written by a man with a peg leg. Which, if you think about it, gives our Constitution hardly a leg to stand on.
The Kirkus Review called Me The People a "funny, politically provocative illumination of the Constitution, a document that all politicians and most Americans revere without really understanding its contents or origins.... Bleyer makes audiences think as well as laugh. Funny stuff with both a point and a perspective."
"More Americans get their news from fake news than from any other source," and Kevin Bleyer is awfully sorry about that. He feels responsible. For the last fifteen years -• the last five as a writer for the Peabody Award-winning The Daily Show with Jon Stewart -• the multiple Emmy Award-winning Bleyer has been writing, producing, and performing some of television's most celebrated political satire.
And when he's not doing that, he's writing speeches for the President of the United States. And when he's not doing that, he's talking to people like you about politics, satire, the state of news today, the art of speechwriting, and what it's like to do what he does for a living. Heck, he might even be happy to talk about the thing you wanted to talk about.
