Was "Battleship Potemkin" ever a Musical?

Because I'd love to see this cast going down a large flight of stairs in a runaway pram.

MR. ROBERTS [Jonah Goldberg]

Last night at a small cocktail party I was chatting with Kate and a few others about the buzz over the news that Bush was going to appoint one of the female candidates. The consensus was that this was welcome news -- considering the alternative was Gonzales -- but wouldn't it have been nice if Bush had tagged a plain old really smart white guy? Picking a woman would have been cemented the identity politics nonsense just a bit further.

This conversation came to a fairly abrupt end when Paul Johnson, Mr and Mrs John O'Sullivan and the Podhoretzes started singing show tunes. I am not making this up.

Gee, John Podhoretz singing showtunes, he'd be a great Auntie Mame or Momma Rose.

You'll be swelled! You'll be lame!
You're an utter moron about Plame!
Drink cheap beer, eat a cow,
Jonah, everything's coming up Ho'sis
