VIDEO: Chris Pine plays the role of ‘Congress’, and it might just make you weep

Tony Cuddihy

You don’t have to know much about the American political system to find this excruciating, or funny, or both.

In fact, this really could translate to the parliament of any democratic country.

Chris Pine plays the role of Leonard, aka Congress, as he starts a new job/legislative term.

At the very beginning, his arrival is greeted enthusiastically by those around him. However, it’s not long before he starts causing problems.

And when he does, the shit hits the fan.

(Luckily, in Ireland, we have a perfectly oiled political machine without even a hint of bureaucracy.)
