Soon Cheney is on a joyride through time with his buddy Kimo. Unfortunately, their time machine stalls out on the Interyear and Dick finds he is stuck in the Nixon administration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecalling his father's rants, Cheney realizes he has the opportunity to change history. If he can ensure Gore loses the 2000 election, perhaps 800 years later he could finally make his old man proud. Will the assistance of alien pinochle player Donald Rumsfeld be enough? Or will he have to enlist both foul-mouthed mob boss Ralph Nader and the secretly Republication robot Joseph Lieberman? And what does the Iran-Contra scandal have to with any of this?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForsythe skewers the conventions of modern books and DVDs, with numerous \"bonus features.\" Included are a \"Deleted Epilogue\" (obviously not deleted); a faux Author Commentary featuring Forsythe and Cheney discussing Cheney's actions in chapter one; and a Reading Group Guide, featuring discussion questions and an author interview.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDick Cheney Saves Paris\u003c\/i\u003e heralds a new voice in the genre of personal and political madcap sci-fi meta- anti- novels.
