John McCain's daughter is writing children's book

NEW YORK - Meghan McCain, daughter of the Republican Party's presumptive presidential nominee, is working on a picture book about her father, Sen. John McCain.

Meghan McCain's children's story, currently untitled, will be published by Simon & Schuster the first week of September, around the time of the Republican national convention.

"I am truly excited about the opportunity to write a children's book about my father, who is not only a fantastic dad, but also a great American," McCain, known for her blog, McCain Blogette, http://www.mccainblogette.com, said in a statement issued Wednesday by her publisher.

"This book will offer children the unique opportunity to see the character building events that happened over his lifetime, experiences that led up to his current bid to become the future president of the United States."

10. A little correction: John S. McCain the presidential candidate didn't crash five planes.

His father, John S. "Slew" McCain, apparently crashed five birds while getting his wings, which he did at the age of 50 because the Navy decided that only naval aviators would be allowed to command aircraft carriers.

11. Correction: add 114 helicopters and 20 fixed-wing aircraft to the 5 jets he crashed.

Since he voted for the was, I hold him responsible for every crash and shoot-down in Iraq.

"At least 114 helicopters and 20 fixed-wing aircraft have been lost in Iraq since the 2003 invasion:"
