THIS WEEK: Lizz sits down for some straight talk with CLIFF SCHECTER, veteran campaign strategist, political commentator, and renegade author of The Real McCain- a hard-hiting profile that explores the gap between the public record of Senator John McCain and his media image.

Schecter writes a monthly column distributed by Knight Ridder and was a guest columnist for United Press International from 2002-2004. His work has been featured in a variety of publications including The Miami Herald, The American Prospect, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, The Fordham Urban Law Journal, The Sacramento Bee and Salon.com. He blogs for The Gadflyer and writes a weekly satirical column each Friday called "Cliff's Corner," summarizing the week's most ridiculous events for AMERICAblog. Surprisingly, Tom DeLay gets mentioned a lot.


About Shoot the Messenger

Shoot the Messenger is a New York- based comedy troupe performing WAKE UP WORLD, a satirical morning show from the brain of Daily Show Co-creator Lizz Winstead. A live comedy show incorporating multi-media elements, it gives us the world as seen through the filters of Wake-Up World, Americas only 6-hour morning show and the flagship news show on 24/7 (possibly the worst 24-hour cable news network-ever). It gives the audience a glimpse into the behind the scenes decision making at a news network and the process that brings those decisions to the air.
