Please read, pass on, and encourage others to read.

It's amazing that Rolling Stone and The Daily Show and Blogs have replaced Main Stream Media as the folks doing actual journalism.

Thanks for bringing the article to our attention. I

I am adding the following link, which puts the entire article in print format, so that people can read it all on one page, instead of having to click through ten.

Thanks again. It confirms how I have always viewed McCain. He is a self absorbed narcissist, and that is why he would be far worse than W.

Look at his attempt to cancel the debate, all by himself. McCain would be an autocrat. In fact he told the Des Moines Register that he has always aspired to be a dictator. Very telling and chilling.

America be afraid; be very afraid.

I agree about your observation of MSM to some extent... I am noticing that it takes a sense of humor to handle dealing with this stuff. If you notice Olberman and Maddow have to use some sense of mocking and humor. Too much reality of the serious f'd upness of the situation and our brains might explode or implode or short circuit or something...

I had heard some of this from my Dad, who was a carrier pilot himself, but put together it is a very damning portrait. McCain shouldn't even be in public service.

My pop, the die-hard conservative/libertarian (depending on the issue) has land near McCain's ranch in Cornville.

I don't know whether that's a factor or not, but he becomes positively unhinged when anyone mentions McCain's name -- he hates the man with a passion I've only seen him express towards the IRS.

Still haven't worked up the courage to ask him who he might be voting for in November.

This is another interesting portrait from the mainstream.
