Win DOG ON THE ROOF!: On the Road with Mitt and Mutt

From political satirists Bruce Kluger and David Slavin, the ultimate humor book for this election season, DOG ON THE ROOF!: On the Road with Mitt and Mutt lampoons the now infamous Romney family adventure with their dog Seamus tied firmly to the roof of the car.

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 seat. 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 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 authors Bruce Kluger and David Slavin, and cleverly illustrated by Colleen Clapp, DOG ON THE ROOF! is more than just the story of a dog hot on the 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.

Bruce Kluger and David Slavin write and produce for National Public Radio’s All Things Considered. Their cultural and political commentary has appeared in countless publications across the country, including The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, and The Chicago Tribune. They are recurring bloggers for The Huffington Post and Salon.com. Both live in New York City with their families.

Colleen Clapp is an award-winning artist and illustrator whose diverse career has spanned 30 years. She has created graphic and presentational art for, among others, The Smithsonian Institution, NBC News, ABC News, The Chris Matthews Show, WTTG News, The Philadelphia Zoo, and Polo magazine. Colleen lives in Frederick, Maryland, with her husband and two daughters.
