Dirty Sexy Politics »

"I am concerned about the environment. I love to wear black. I think government is best when it stays out of people's lives and business as much as possible. I love punk rock. I believe in a strong national defense. I have a tattoo. I believe government should always be efficient and accountable. I have lots of gay friends. And, yes, I am a Republican." Meghan McCain's brief synopsis might not put her on the record about every topic covered in her new book, but it does accurately convey the liveliness and eclecticism of her insights. Dirty Sexy Politics lures you in with a slightly naughty title, but delivers its goods with a refreshing vivacity all its own.

The Washington Post - Steven Levingston

All the tears [McCain] spilled and the slights she felt pour out here in this youthful narrative—made all the more enjoyable by its healthy sense of humor.
