Great Fights, like when he sold out his fellow prisoners in the Hanoi Hilton and earned the nickname ‘Songbird’?

If he’s still not dead yet, he’ll be sitting in Costcos signing books in the toilet paper aisle.

Is he dead yet? I almost forgot to check today.

He is not a Republican. He even voted against the Bush tax cuts.

It starts in 2008. What good is that? A biography that starts when you’re 72?

So it won’t cover: Annapolis, Vietnam, POW, Keating 5, Divorce, Marriage, Family, etc...
