Let me preface this by saying, I have VERY mixed feelings about posting this on My Springfield Mommy, simply because, when it comes to politics I believe this site should remain neutral, that being said, I am going to introduce you to a book that is loaded with political satire, and is highly slanted, and let you decide if you want to investigate it further--leaving my opinions out of it completely.
The book is called, Dog on the Roof: On the Road with Mitt & the Mutt (Touchstone Paper Over Board, June 2012) by political satirists Bruce Kluger and David Slavin and here is the synopsis from the back of the book:
They were the typical American family on a typical American road trip—Dad behind the wheel, Mom in the passenger seat, their five adorable kids piled in the back. And, of course, their beloved dog strapped to the roof.
Wait . . . what?
Now for the first time, here is the completely true—and only mildly embellished— shaggy-dog story of Seamus Romney, the famously fetching Irish setter whose master, future presidential candidate Mitt Romney, plopped him atop the family station wagon for that infamous 1983 car trip. From the majesty of Mount Rushmore to the fabulousness of San Francisco, from the sacred temple of Salt Lake City to the hallowed halls of Washington, D.C., here at last is Seamus’s rooftop account of that headline-grabbing journey . . . unleashed.
Doggedly chronicled by satirists Bruce Kluger and David Slavin (NPR’s All Things Considered), and cleverly illustrated by Colleen Clapp (The Chris Matthews Show, NBC News), this American tale is more than just the story of a dog on a hot tin roof. It is the inside (well . . . overhead) look at the Man Who Would Be President and the wild ride that’s sweeping—and bewildering—the nation.
