| chicago trip planning, lionel rolfe, oreillynet.com, fatman the human flying saucer, novels, chicago restaurants, jackw. germond, o'reilly network, 2005, film, | on his 40 years of experience covering everything from local mayoral races to national presidential campaigns, Jack W. Germond has written "Fat Man In A Middle Seat" as both a memoir of his encounters fromchunk to hunk: diary of a fat man with some of the past generation's most interesting political personalities and an analysis of the news coverage the public gets of those candidates. In each case, Germond's observations are fromchunk to hunk: diary of a fat man astute and fascinating, but ultimately discouraging for fromchunk to hunk: diary of a fat man what they reveal about the men who hold or seek power, as well as how they are portrayed to the voters. Culminating in the farcical non-election results of 2000, and the atrocious reporting of the outcome, Germond reaches his inevitable conclusion that he no longer expects the system to ever "get it right" and produce real executive leadership or accurate press accounts of current events. |

| I never quite knew what the deal was with Germond on McG Group. Now I do. That's where I really grew attached to the guy. Sorry it was such a bum experience. Dr. M does not come film off well, yet he basically seems to have spawned Chris Matthews, another rather wildly pretentious churno-journo. I really didn't find any hatchet jobs in the film reviews. I'd like to thing Germond commands this film kind of respect. I guess I'm not giving the book 5 stars because this man has had a life that was terribly special. I think he needs to offer a little more perspective, be a little more grandly philosophical, at this point. You know, without being pretentious. Was this review helpful to you?
