Book Description
You think you've got problems? Senator Woody White is
being sued by his ex-wife, blackmailed by his present wife,
shaken down by a Vermont maple syrup kingpin, terrorized by
his neo-Fascist housekeeper, and dragged into litigation by
Trent Lott over a fender bender in the Senate parking garage.
As if all this weren't enough, Woody has been stricken
with an untimely case of E.D. (erectile dysfunction),
discovered during a tryst in his Peru, Vermont, A-frame with
a lobbyist from the condom industry.
Up for reelection, Woody understands the political dictum
that no man can be elected in this country if the voters
suspect he is hormonally challenged. In this, the Viagra Age,
Woody's search for a solution leads him to a great deal more
trouble than he bargained for.
With the aid of his chief of staff, Ishmael Leibowitz -- a
closet heterosexual who has gone into deep cover inside a
ring of gay Senate aides -- Woody battles not only to keep
his E.Q. (Erectile Quotient) within the moderate-to-high
range, but also to recapture the support of the people of
Vermont, Ted Kennedy, Dick Gephardt, and the President of the
United States.
The Woody is a brilliant comic romp through the
demented, spin-filled world of Washington sexual politics. It
answers the question foremost on everybody's mind these days:
Just how hard does a man have to be to remain in public
office?
