For most gals, too much wiener-riding won't afford you much but an awkward gait and a bad reputation, but writer and comedian Robin Gelfenbien went doggie-style through America's Heartland and came back feeling like a brand-new woman. In My Salvation Has a First Name: A Wienermobile Journey , the former speechwriter for Rosie O'Donnell and Hillary Clinton uses photos, videos and tunes to tell the hilarious story of her road trip across the country driving the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. With a media circus in pursuit and a horny co-pilot in the passenger seat, she learned the importance of standing up for herself and that, like a hot dog, life is much better when it's relished.
