Free Ride?

Free Ride: John McCain and the Media devotes its 200 or so pages to describing how John McCain cultivated his place in American politics, from War Hero to Maverick. The Myth of McCain, the authors contend, has three foundations: Vietnam, Campaign Finance Reform and what they refer to as “I Love You, You Love Me” – the mutual love affair with the American Media. The new chapter, though a bit dated as it only takes us into the primary season, provides more insight into the man and the myth (apparently, Reverend Hagee is also a proponent of lipstick- sorry).
