This is one of the funniest and incisive Stooge shorts. The Stooges weren't known for their satiric takes on politics, but this film brilliantly and hilariously skewers politics and their lies. Moe's "convention" speech, written and performed over 70 years ago, could easily be filmed today without changing a word. Moe promises a 2 hour work week (HAHA), and Shemp says that's for him. Moe responds..."you can't believe all that stuff, that's a campaign promise!".
Many Stooge shorts skewered politics from time to time, like their most famous political short, You Natzy Spy. This one isn't as great as that one, but it's pretty darn good anyway.
