The book(s) on John McCain [Karl]

At The Left-Wing Review of Books, left-wing journalist Michael Tomasky reviews three new books on presumed GOP presidential nominee John McCain, including one by admitted liar (and piss boy to George Soros) David Brock.  However, Tomasky’s favorite is by Matt Welch, an editorial-page editor at the Los Angeles Times and a former editor at Reason magazine:

His book is the best of the three. The other two, though useful, would have little rationale if McCain weren’t a presidential candidate; but Welch has produced a thorough critique that digs deep into McCain’s belief system and will have a shelf life beyond this election cycle.

Given that Jeff Goldstein (and pw in general) have recommended Welch’s magazine work on McCain several times for much the same reason (no pun intended), it is worth noting when the new Editor of Guardian America agrees.

    “Up, Simba” is being reissued this month as a book, with an introduction by Slate editor Jacob Weisberg, under the title McCain’s Promise: Aboard the Straight-Talk Express with John McCain and a Whole Bunch of Actual Reporters, Thinking about Hope

    A needed reminder that there’s at least one form of life on this earth lower than John McCain. Thanks, Karl. In an election year, it’s easy to lose perspective.

    I’m pretty sure Matt is back at Reason as editor. The LA Times gig is probably over as a result.
