In this biting political satire, former President Randolph Hotrod Snoggins refuses to fade quietly into post-presidential life after losing to his linguistic-challenged rival Constable Grimm. Instead, Snoggins reinvents himself as the star of Oval Office, a hit TV show where he plays-what else?-the President of the United States.
As the line between politics and entertainment blurs, Snoggins discovers that television offers unexpected power to shape public opinion and needle his successor. His personal life grows increasingly complicated when his relationship with actress Erika Wares collides with his political ambitions and his marriage to Lucy, who has gubernatorial ambitions of her own.
The novel weaves together political intrigue, media manipulation, and personal vendettas into an absurdist tapestry that satirizes American political culture. With international assassins, corrupt contractors, and feuding Secret Service agents added to the mix, the story creates a carnival mirror reflecting the theatricality of modern politics-where everyone is merely acting presidential.
