About this audiobook
Moments before he is scheduled to deliver the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention, Oklahoma Governor Buffalo Joe Hayman falls ill. Life is never the same for lieutenant governor One-Eyed Mack who steps in to deliver the speech that concludes with an appeal for the return of the state's missing mummy. Suddenly Mack's name is being passed around as a possible vice-president. This is a comic, clever, fast-paced satire of politics told and read by one of this county's best known commentators.
