A must have book

This book looks great although it might make me even more cynical.

In an interview on last night’s Colbert Report, ‘Game Change’ co-author John Heilemann stressed that his new book is “as factually accurate as you can imagine.”

“I like this book because, as I said, it’s not bogged down with sources or attributions,” Colbert teased Heilemann. “But you live in that journalism world. How do you defend that to the people who say, ‘come on, you’re making this stuff up’?”

“We wanted to get to the high human drama of this historic campaign,” said Heilemann. “We ended up here with a picture that we are totally, totally happy with and totally confident is right on the money and is as factually accurate as you can imagine.”

I have a feeling that when it is done you come away with a feeling that our politicians are human just like the rest of us, which I guess in some ways should be reassuring.
