Is There An "Anti-McCain" Biography/Bestseller Slated For Release Soon?

[KittyWampus]

Honest question. Haven't heard of anything.

And I put "Anti-McCain" in quotation marks mainly because that's what a book truthfully chronicling McCain's life and career path would seem. Reality having a well-known liberal bias.

It seems like such a shame there are no ambitious journalists or autobiographical authors out there looking to make a buck by delving into McCain's irresponsible and erratic behavior over the years.

1. I know of none

But then, the whole exercise is pure negative propaganda, and if Corsi's book
is shown up to be a purely Republican shameless propaganda stunt, and McCain's
negatives are blatant enough on their own that we don't need to write a book
full of lies and fake massive sales for them to be visible. All we need to do
is point them out factually and calmly. We have the better man. It's our fault
if we can't find a way to point that out to an ignorant but listening electorate.

2. Very few people write negative books about themselves, so I doubt there's an anti-McCain

autobiography. :)

Though...there's a first time for everything!

4. i thought there already was one?

but it just didnt get any traction and the media has never spoken about it.

i think its called 'the myth of the maverick'

5. Paul Waldman and David Brock wrote one last year...

called 'Free Ride: John McCain and the Media' Probably real pertinent now.

Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis:
A hard-hitting profile of a political celebrity, this book analyzes John McCains out-of-the-mainstream stances and expedient flip-flops on the economy, campaign finance reform, the Iraq war, and other key issues.
Synopsis:
Thinking about voting for McCain? Read this book. Cliff Schecter's hard-hitting profile explores the gap between the public record of Senator John McCain and his media image. Drawing on a range of sources and adding his unique perspective and humor, Schecter guides the reader though McCain's long history of expedient flip-flops, especially on his signature issues of national security and campaign finance reform. Far from a straight-talking maverick, McCain emerges as a temperamental political chameleon who will do or say virtually anything to become president of the United States. On issue after issue - including the invasion and occupation of Iraq, torture, abortion, and gay rights - The Real McCain reveals a politician who started as a Goldwater Republican, experienced a brief period after sanity after his loss to George W. Bush in 2000, and began pandering to the very groups he challenged after deciding to run again in 2008.
