It’s time for a new season of The Real West Wing, and viewers are looking forward to watching the President run for his third term, recently cleared by the Supreme Court. There may or may not be a new weeping sickness sweeping the nation, and an unlikely hero is recruited to join the President’s campaign - mystical pro-wrestler Rasputin. (That Rasputin? Maybe.)

An intriguing and diverse cast of characters spanning the political spectrum including a reporter with the same name as a Supreme Court judge, a former country music teen star and a wayward First Lady find themselves spinning into spandex-clad destiny no number of executive orders can control.

Hilarious, compelling, and tragically relevant, Rasputin Swims the Potomac is both an escape and a warning, a scathing satire that explores the twists and turns of American democracy as it hurtles toward authoritarianism.
