Earlier this week the Conference of Women Legislators hosted a benefit in Springfield called "COWL’s Cruise Cabaret" that saw women state senators and representatives poking fun at Illinois politics in song, dance, rap and other goofy antics.

The show's producer, Rep. Karen May (D-Highland Park), told the State Journal-Register that funds raised from the $150-per-person event would go toward scholarships for students. Here's video from the event.
