The McCain Mutiny

摘要

It was 106 in Charleston last Aug. Ⅰ. The air was as hot and as thick as she-crab soup. A touring bus called "The Straight Talk Express" was on its maiden voyage. Its captain, John McCain, U.S. Navy (Ret.), was cruising the Low Country landscape all but alone, all but unnoticed. He had a skeleton crew aboard: his wife, Cindy, and three aides. It wasn't easy to find a crowd. But McCain is nothing if not dogged, so he took himself out to the ball game. In the steaming heat, he worked the wilting patrons at the RiverDogs' park.
