Don't Let the Republican Drive the Bus!
A Parody for Voters
From the satirical masterminds behind the "New York Times" best-seller "Goodnight Bush "(more than 125,000 copies sold) comes this scathingly funny political parody of the contemporary children's classic "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!
"
As any left-leaning parent of small children will tell you, these days it seems like the Republican Party is taking its tactical and ideological cues from a screaming, mid-tantrum toddler. That's certainly how authors Erich Origen and Gan Golan feel: The parallel came into sharp relief as they read the beloved picture book Don't Let Pigeon Drive the Bus! to their own children. In this wildly funny (and uncannily spot-on) spoof, Origen and Golan take on the Republican political machine, represented here by a cartoonish, hyper-conservative vulture, who wants nothing more than to drive the bus (even though he secretly hates public transit); give rides to his top hat-wearing, white male cronies; and run over as many "socialists," environmentalists, and public employees as he can find.
Timed to coincide with the 2012 presidential election, this witty and hilarious satire turns over-the-top Republican antics into fun-loving political child's play. But, like most children's books and their parodies, it also comes with a liberal dose of warning if we, the reader (...and the people), don't heed the call: If you don't want to get thrown under it, then please...Dont' Let the Republican Drive the Bus!
Erich Origen and Gan Golan are public-transit-using, public-park-visiting, working-class elitists. They are also the New York Times bestselling authors of the books "Goodnight Bush" and "The Adventures of Unemployed Man." Visit www.letmedrivethebus.com.
