I read this article<\/a> in Rolling Stone some time ago and thought it a bit over-the-top, in its’ characterization of John McCain. Still, I think it is useful to read, for even if it exaggerates, it doesn’t do so by much.<\/p>\n

Both John McCain and Sarah Palin are asking the question of “Who is Barack Obama?” I think it is fair to turn the tables and ask “Who is John McCain?” and “Who is Sarah Palin?”<\/p>\n

Here<\/a> is the companion piece to the article on John McCain. This one offers a critical observation of Sarah Palin.<\/p>\n

One thing that puzzles me is that there is almost no media coverage of John McCain’s association with Charles Keating<\/a>. It somehow is quite all right for John McCain and Sarah Palin to engage in the guilt-by-association smear of Barack Obama when they try to tie him to William Ayers, but the media give McCain a free pass when it comes to the Keating Five affair.<\/p>\n

Here is a video that covers the same ground as the article in the National Review Online, which I have linked to above.<\/p>\n
