Publisher's Synopsis
THE FAKING OF THE PRESIDENTWith a touch of makeup, even you, a meth smoking punk on the streets can grow up to be a political superstar.The first ever complete campaign playbook as compiled by an "actual" Beltway Insider. In this easy to read guide, Doug Goudsward lays out the simple steps that will enable you, the reader (and presumably a lazy slacker at that) to get elected President of the United States of America. Every election cycle, too many people ask, "Why bother to vote, there are no good choices?" or "How come no honest and talented people ever run for office?" Well the answer is really quite simple: the average American citizen just has no idea how to go about launching an effective presidential campaign. With this book, Goudsward takes away all excuses. Presented in the form of a Campaign Playbook, this no holds barred political farce mercilessly lampoons the three ring circus and media feeding frenzy that our modern presidential elections have degenerated into. Each chapter is filled with seemingly outrageous tips on how to dress, speak, or act like the future president, yet the sobering truth is that real life candidates may actually find this to be a useful primer for managing their own campaigns. Skewering both the left and the right Goudsward takes no sides, but instead reaches across the aisle to connect with the disgruntled majority! ... And since most politicians have neither the time nor the inclination to actually read, every major talking point in the book is hilariously illustrated with Doug's original cartoons that will leave you laughing all the way to the polls.
