‘Dog on the Roof!’ book pokes fun at Romney, SF
By Josh Richman
Wednesday, June 6th, 2012 at 4:48 pm in 2012 presidential election, books, Mitt Romney.
I received today a copy of “Dog on the Roof! On the Road with Mitt & The Mutt,” a political satire novelty picture book by Bruce Kluger and David Slavin.
The small book lampoons Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s now infamous family vacation, a cross-country road-trip for which they put their dog, Seamus, in a carrier on the roof of the car.
The book follows the Romneys through various American cities, with heavily doctored photo illustrations accompanied by verse. As we’re a Bay Area news organization, I thought I might share the San Francisco section:
(from Romney)
Now, boys, close your eyes,
for we’ve hit rock bottom –
a city that’s ruled
by Gomorrah and Sodom.A village of sinners
who clamor for booty,
and bow at the altar
of Liza and Judy.Don’t mean to be prissy,
don’t want to disparage –
they’re free to cut hair,
but they’ll never have marriage!
(and, from Seamus)
These people love Broadway,
so how ‘bout a spoof?
Instead of a fiddler –
a dog on the roof!
I’m am not anticipating that this will be a National Book Award recipient.

I’m awfully disappointed that Clarence Thomas didn’t hang up his robe and run for the top job.
