Tweetering and undying giddiness for James Madison – what else could you expect to find at a Miss America pageant? In this raucous “power-play” by the prolific Lauren Gunderson, contestant Katherine has political aspirations to match her beauty pageant ambitions. All she needs to revolutionize the American government is the help of one ultra-conservative senator’s aide on the cusp of a career breakthrough, and one bleeding-heart liberal blogger who will do anything for her cause. Well, that and a semi-historically-accurate ether trip. Just in time for the midterm election, here’s lookin’ at you, America.
