<b>A bestselling, Harvard-bred humorist plans to knock out a slapdash, quick-buck parody of a wildly successful, head-spinning, clue-laden thriller in a flagrant attempt to cash in on the publishing sensation of the decade, but the tousle-haired satirist's sleazy scheme goes awry when his two heroes -- beautiful, brilliant Sandra Damsel and brawny, brainy Professor William Franklin -- stumble on an explosive and frankly preposterous centuries-old secret that plunges them into a puzzle-packed, plot-crammed, prose-swollen Washington intrigue whose flabbergasting finale will determine the outcome of the 2004 presidential election.</b> <br> <b>Cryptic praise for <i>The Dick Cheney Code</i></b> <br> "1, 1!" (highest rating) -- <i>The Fibonacci Report</i> <br> "Hysterical! Lacey shirt!" -- <i>Anagram Monthly</i> <br> "I laughed so hard I xxxxxx in my pants!" -- <i>Redacter's Digest</i> <br> "I bend over double! I hold my sides! I tickle my ribs! I slap my thighs!" -- <i>Mime Magazine</i> <br> "Three syllables, sounds like: Upper arm? Broken arm? Broken bone? Radius? Humerus? HUMOROUS!" -- <i>Charade Magazine</i> <br> "Too funny for words!" (9 letters, starting with P, ending in S) -- <i>Acrostic Review</i>
