A closer look at the life and career of John McCain reveals a disturbing record of recklessness and dishonesty At Fort McNair, an army base located along the Potomac River in the nation's capital, a chance reunion takes place one day between two former POWs. It's the spring of 1974, and Navy commander John Sidney McCain III has returned home from the experience in Hanoi that, according to legend, transformed...

Some choice excerpts The scariest thing about John McCain's running mate isn't how unqualified she is - it's what her candidacy says about America ...... The defining moment for me came shortly after Palin and her family stepped down from the stage to uproarious applause, looking happy enough to throw a whole library full of books into a sewer. ..... She appeared to be completely without shame and...
I hesitated to blog this for several days. I know some moderates don't even bother to vote if the race is negative, and this piece is overwhemingly negative.

However, the stuff that is backed up with sources is backed...
Thor Nystrom of Brainerd, Minn. says he's been to hell and back. Now that story has rewarded him with a $2,500 reward in Rolling Stone's annual College Journalism Competition.

As Boston.com's Viewer Discretion blogger...
I'll add my voice to the chorus recommending that you read the Rolling Stone article on John McCain by Tim Dickinson. I certainly can't vouch for all of it, but parts of it ring true, like this one: We have now watched McCain run twice for president. The first time he positioned himself as a principled centrist and decried the politics of Karl Rove and the influence of the religious right, imploring...
The article is ten pages long and filled with facts that I certainly was not aware of. But there are two paragraphs that I think might be the most enlightening: In its broad strokes, McCain's life story is oddly similar to that of the current occupant of the White House. John Sidney McCain III and George Walker Bush both represent the third generation of American dynasties. Both were born into positions...

Rolling Stone has published a very long, and quite devastating, article called "Make-Believe Maverick: A closer look at the life and career of John McCain reveals a disturbing record of recklessness and dishonesty." Much of it will be familiar to those who have really paid attention to the details of McCain's career. But I don't know of any other place that assembles so many details so comprehensively,...
