...John S. McCain (R-Ariz.) is on a crusade to rescue democracy in America. With his rakish grin and heroic silver mane, McCain promises to deliver us from the ills of a corrupt campaign finance regime. His ragtag band of rebels, including those muckraking scamps at The New York Times and the Washington Post, wages a guerrilla campaign against the Establishment. The amazing thing is that he hasn’t yet been offed by The Man, a fat fellow smoking Cohiba cigars in a cavernous K Street office who commands legions of anti-McCain lackeys—a deceptively...

Confidence and a smooth tongue can take a man much farther than a pretty-boy face. Fai knows it and, apparently, works...
...NASCAR will certainly wish it had him and his hirsute grin to do commercials on its new network home, and keep the old school alive. It will mourn Dale Earnhardt, and miss him. But he did the promo of a lifetime Sunday when he hit that wall between the third and fourth turn...
