(Maverick--------NOT!)    
(What DO You Really Know About McCain?)    
(Will the Real John McCain Please Stand Up?)   
(This should be read by liberals OR conservatives, who want to understand some real facts behind McCain's shallow image)    It's not the Liberals as Rush has taught you for 25 years now. It's McCain. It has always been McCain. I remember his vacant stare on the tube twenty five years ago, and I see the same now.
Doesn't this guy get any older than he was then? The media gives him a free ride, and we buy it, unable to remember what was said yesterday, let alone last year. "The economy is fundamentall sound." Remember that? The media won't let you. Read this book before you vote. A good insight into the straight talking John McCain and what he is like when not in the public eye. While appearing to sometimes conflict with the Republican base, many are on safe issues. The fact that he is a true American hero and survivor that he supposedly keeps from talking about, it's a subject that always seems to come up. He's tough and challenging and the author treats him like someone he has enjoyed knowing and watching, but not without his own flaws, some admitted and others left to discern by the reader. McCain has spent a lifetime changing his stripes for expediency's sake. From the crash-disfigured wife he dumped--after having numerous affairs--to marry Cindy to his cozy relationship with Charles Keating who helped cost taxpayers $120 billion to his instantaneous morph into a "Reformer" when caught red-handed in the corrupt cash jar to his recent favors for Phoenix developer Donald R. Diamond, McCain has been light on his feet and filled with self-righteousness. McCain says we could have won the Vietnam War if we had used all the weapons at our disposal, a thinly veiled reference to Goldwater's recommendation that North Vietnam should be nuked. McCain's megalomaniacal need to inject himself into the recent Georgian crisis showed him to be a demagogue who would be dangerous in higher office. Yet the Washington press corps rammer on about "The McCain Brand" and continue to cover for him. Read the book and learn. John McCain is a marketing phenomenon who has been able to project an image that entirely belies his real self according to the authors Brock and Waldman. He sells it to the press who sell it to the rest of the nation.
He is styled as a self-effacing war hero who never likes to bring up his captivity in public, except he continually manages to do so. Phrases like: "I haven't been asked so many questions since I was interrogated in Hanoi," or "I missed Woodstock, I was someplace else," or "Well, the longest place I lived was in Hanoi for five and a half years." (He actually grew up in the suburbs outside of D.C.). Even though the Senate and the House of Representatives are filled with people who served honorably and bravely, their names are never associated with their experience. For John McCain, the press will mention this experience of yesteryear almost as if it is a subtitle every time his name is written or spoken. On the other hand, if John Kerry mentions his service to his country, it won't be long before the media will accuse him of trying to exploit his record for political gain--not so for the Arizona senator.
John McCain is a maverick and a moderate. If a maverick is defined as a person who goes against the grain and is willing to take risks, particularly political ones, he isn't it. John McCain has only bucked his party on issues that have already been popular with the public such as finance reform, immigration, and tobacco. His bill at finance reform was toothless to the point of being ineffectual except in helping republicans. Although against lobbying, McCain has a number of lobbyists who have, and are working on behalf of his campaign.
Real mavericks such as Russ Feingold who was the only one to vote against the Patriot Act, a truly unpopular thing to do shortly after the attack of 9/11, is never referred to in the media as a maverick. Other republicans such as Lincoln Chaffee, Susan Collins, and Olympia Snowe have voted against their own party far more often than the "media-labeled maverick."
McCain, the "moderate" has voted more often with his party than almost anyone else, and that means voting conservative. Over his legislative lifetime, he has averaged 80% voting the party line. The "Christian Coalition of America," as well as "Concerned Women of America," who want to bring "biblical principles into all levels of public policy," gave him high ratings. This is hardly the mark of a centrist. Surprisingly, the media make the excuse that McCain is making these concessions to achieve a worthy goal. According to the media, this is pandering to the party base by other politicians, but since their "intuition" is that it makes McCain "uncomfortable," it is a measure of his strength and character.
He is a straight-shooter. Unfortunately, no one has waffled or flip-flopped more than a large stack, in the past eight years than McCain on tax cuts, ethanol, intelligent design, marriage, and anti-gay discrimination. The only thing he hasn't appeared to change his mind on is Roe v. Wade because no one knows for sure exactly where he stands having flip-flopped from against repeal, to indifference, to for its repeal.
Legislators in both houses frequently work both sides of the aisle to come to agreement and pass laws. When McCain has done it, it was because he was putting principle above party, when it has been others, the media reports how they have been pandering to the right or left e.g. Hillary Clinton said that reducing abortions could happen by providing greater funding for birth control, an issue she has always held. However, it didn't take long for the media to claim that she was pandering to the right, and sacrificing her principles.
The other free ride is that McCain is a man of character, which has been summed up by his experience as a prisoner of war. Nothing is mentioned of McCain's involvement in the Keating Five scandal where he tried to quash an investigation into the savings and loan malfeasance against his good friend and political campaign contributor, John Keating. There was considerable evidence that John McCain's office then leaked information to the press, which made the others involved appear to have played a larger role than McCain. He would later lie about the leaks under oath.
Finally, Brock and Waldman talk about the pack mentality amongst the media. They travel on the same planes and buses. They eat in the same restaurants and sleep in the same hotels. They talk and share notes. A pack mentality begins to form. When new media members hear the adulation of McCain from those who have been with him, the "Halo Effect" begins to form.
Yesterday, I watched Tim Russert mention McCain, the maverick on "Meet the Press." I think these authors might be on to something. See how many times between here and November you will hear or read about John McCain as a maverick, and John McCain, as a former P.O.W."
Brock and Waldman wonder when those in the media will be introspective enough to ask themselves if they are judging candidate McCain by a different standard than others, and if such thinking is a disservice to the public. To quote the authors: "One might even say the reporter who was willing to ask those questions might even be a maverick."
I couldn't have said it better.
Also Recommended:
Welch, Matt, "McCain: the Myth of a Maverick."
Waldman, Glenn, "Great American Hypocrites: Toppling the Big Myths of Republican Politics."
I recommend googling "Pygmalion Effect," or "Halo and Horns Effect" for those of you who might not be familiar with it.
This book is not a puff piece for Democrats (Obama or Clinton), nor does it portray presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain as an entirely hollow man.
But it convincingly makes the point that however likable many of McCain's personal qualities are, the media has focused on them to the exclusion of nearly everything else. Including his values as expressed through his actions in office, and his less-likable qualities.
As a book, it's not written to stand the test of time (which is why only four stars), rather a quick, undemanding but not insulting read. One that may arouse responses of "really?" as it shows you things about John McCain that, whichever party you support, I'd be willing to bet you didn't know.
For example, that his South Carolina spokesman was a critic of making Martin Luther King's birthday a holiday, and praised *David Duke* as a...heh..."maverick."
I didn't know that. We live in a gotcha media culture that revels in exposing the foibles and hypocrisies of our politicians. But one politician manages to escape this treatment, getting the benefit of the doubt and a positive spin for nearly everything he does: John McCain. Indeed, even during his temporary decline in popularity in 2007, the media continued to support him by lamenting his fate rather than criticizing the flip flops and politicking that undermined his popular image as a maverick.
David Brock and Paul Waldman show how the media has enabled McCain's rise from the Keating Five scandal to the underdog hero of the 2000 primaries to his roller-coaster run for the 2008 nomination. They illuminate how the press falls for McCain's“straight talk” and how the Arizona senator gets away with inconsistencies and misrepresentations for which the media skewers other politicians. This is a fascinating study of how the media shape the political debate, and an essential book for every political junkie. Rerations < Free Ride: John McCain and the Media >

Usually ships in 24 hours customer 's review (Hilarious Take on McCain's Age--Not Substantive)  
(A must-have before the election! and a perfect item to "honor" McCain's 72nd birthday...)     My son, Steven, gave me this book for Christmas 2008 and it was one of my favorite gifts. It is a cleverly constructed and humorously annotated list of--Can you guess?--72 things that have been around less time than John McCain. My personal favorites are: Alaska, duct tape, Geritol and Social Security. I had a good time reading it and look forward to passing it around the office next week.
It's my own fault that I ruined it for myself by going back and reading the introduction. This cost me my good feeling about the book and the author--should he care--a couple of stars. You see, he seems to think he is taking on "...one of the real issues of the day...and not because I like young people more than I like old people, but because all experience isn't necessarily good experience and because it is important to be relevant, inspiring, exciting, engaging, and sharp." (p. vii). This intention is fine; it just doesn't match the rest of the book.
John McCain's age certainly was a real issue in the 2008 presidential campaign. But a book full of jokes is not engaging in a meaningful discussion of this issue or any other. During the 2004 campaign, I read Our Plan for America: Stronger at Home, Respected in the World by John Kerry and John Edwards. THAT was a discussion of the issues. And I was grateful that they wrote it, even though I disagreed with some of what they had to say. I am sorry to belabor this point, but we need to know the difference between humor and useful discussion, between Jay Leno's monologue--no matter how funny--and a Washington post editorial. I worry that the author does not. I fervently hope that his readers do.
Do buy this book. Read it, laugh and pass it around for others to enjoy. Don't read the introduction. If you are a conservative, it will make you sad and tired no matter your age. And if you are a thoughtful Obama supporter, it will be a little embarrassing. I wish the author good things--more specifically a guest host shot on Saturday Night Live. This is a natural venue for someone who is smart, funny and has lost perspective on the distinction between clever wit and substantive political commentary. Whether or not you've read Joe Quint's blog, this book will keep you laughing in a riotous and/or embarrassingly loud manner with every page. Quint's first book has a look at several surprising items and pop-culture phenomena younger than McCain, almost all of which have not previously appeared on his blog, and I have to say I even found the small bonus section on "Things Older than McCain" highly amusing (the War of 1812! etc.) - not since the stylings of Dave Barry has subtle (and not so subtle) political humor made me randomly bust out laughing.
The book is a fun little flip-through read which can be a witty, edgy substitute for a coffee-table standard, a fantastic conversation starter (do we truly want a president who is older than the invention of PENICILLIN? Penicillin, people. Really.) - and it'll have your friends envying your impeccable taste in humor. This is definitely gobs of fun for anyone and a great buy - loved it!! "I have the courage, the wisdom, the experience, and most importantly, the oldness necessary."-- John McCain,Saturday Night Live,May 17, 2008 John McCain may have been joking during his guest appearance on Saturday Night Live, but it is true that, if elected, at age 72 he will have more oldness on his side than any person ever inaugurated as a first-term president of the United States. 72 Things Younger Than John McCaintakes a lighthearted look at all that's come into existence since John McCain was born so many, many, many years ago, including: The Jefferson Memorial Duct Tape Nachos Chocolate-Chip Cookies Area Codes Social Security Based on Joe Quint's popular blog,72 Things Younger Than John McCainalso contains humorous photos and interesting trivia that highlight the events, milestones, inventions, and people that make up American pop-culture history since McCain was born on August 29, 1936. There's also a bonus section (albeit a very short one) of Things Older Than McCain! Rerations < 72 Things Younger Than John McCain >
