The Mayor Who Kissed an Intern is a satire of Me-Too Movement that took over American culture in the early 2000s. It centers on the relationship between Joey Mercutio, the self-effacing Mayor of San Francisco, and Lilybelle Lee Witherspoon, a beautiful and manipulative intern. The book follows their story as she seduces him into kissing her, then accuses him aggravated tongue rape. Since he is a beloved mayor, it is a great shock when her accusation is announced by noted feminist attorney Deborah Bittner on the steps of City Hall. Before long, the mayor is reviled by people across the world and required to sit before a panel and a booing crowd of over 100,000 people in a stadium near San Francisco Bay, where he is forced to step down as mayor. The story goes on to tell of Joey being banished to his surburban home, where he develops his garden, and of Lilybelle's offer of a mercy fuck, and of Joey's spurning this mercy fuck and of her kidnapping and drugging and raping of the ex-mayor and of his accusation of rape her accusation of a false accusation and of a second panel which sentences Joey to be horsewhipped by Lilybelle and ordered that “his penis and testicles be removed, as well as his upper and lower prostate” so as to set an example to make sure that no male will ever objectify or aggravatedly tongue-rape a woman again. In the end, the Fugonauts, a strange species from outer space take over the world and Joey and Riley, his gentle wife, move to Southern China and live happily ever after. This novel is a modern version of Voltaire's Candide.
