The Real McCain: Why Conservatives Don't Trust Him and Why Independents Shouldn't
Cliff Schecter
PoliPoint Press, 2008
Insider, Grafter, Double-talker
+ A Smear Job, but a decent one
+ Thank you Mr. Cliff Schecter - Thank you !!!!
When I was young and foolish, and lived mostly abroad, I took John McCain at his own word -- and the media's word, or course -- as an independent maverick, an up-to-date Goldwater. That image has long since been tarnished by his shape-shifting efforts to place himself at the helm of power. I now ...

The Worst Person In the World: And 202 Strong Contenders
Keith Olbermann
Wiley, 2007
Mr. Olbermann's unique ability to see though all the lies that occur in our government is amazing....and at times, VERY funny!
+ A favorite segment on Keith's Countdown on MSNBC
+ declamatory oratory!!!
*Countdown* is, without a doubt, THE most informative show on television right now, and it's also the fastest hour you'll spend watching TV. Mr. Olbermann has two very distinct sides to him, and he shows both of those sides during his show. Most of the time, the ultra-serious news and commentary ...

I got this for my boyfriend's birthday gift. He loves the Onion "News" site, and was a Geography major in college (perfect, right?) I don't think there was a moment, until he was finished, that he wasn't carrying the thing around with him. He loved it, and I have to admit, I liked what he read ...
