As many of you have probably picked up over the years if you've read my work, I'm a pretty big fan of the 90s sitcom Seinfeld. I've probably watched through the various seasons dozens of times over the years, and it just never seems to get old. Given that, if my favorite show and politics collide, you know I've got to write on it, and trust me, what I've got for you today delivers.

Some of you may have seen Rep. Matt Gaetz's recent floor speech, reported on by RedState, where he goes into a riff about the indictment of Sen. Bob Menendez. For context, Menendez is accused of accepting bribes from a New Jersey-based food company and leaking sensitive information to the Egyptian government. 

On the topic, Gaetz took the floor and delivered the following barn burner. 

GAETZ: We are devaluing American money so rapidly that in America today, you can't even bribe Democrat senators with cash alone. You need to bring gold bars to get the job done just so the bribes hold value.

Even in the somber setting of the House, his delivery was hilarious and quickly went viral, but things can also get funnier. Enter Townhall's video czar, Kevin McMahon. He decided to set Gaetz's comments to the Seinfeld theme to mimic one of the show's cold opens where Jerry Seinfeld does a bit of stand-up comedy. The result? I can't stop laughing.

Just incredible. The little crack in his voice at the end wraps it up perfectly. 

Kenny Bania has some thoughts on that video. 

Now, I'm sitting here wondering how I'm going to squeeze a few hundred more words out of this article, but that video was just too good not to share. There's so much going on in politics, much of it ridiculous and depressing, that it's good to sit back and laugh sometimes. Besides, Gaetz is absolutely correct in how ludicrous things have gotten, and his point has now been made even better.
