With all the brouhaha surrounding McCain and Parsley, we think a little self-congratulation is in order. While other independent magazines like Mother Jones have called attention to this issue, no other publication has been as dedicated to this story as the Prospect and our reporter Sarah Posner. Way back in 2005 she wrote the definitive profile of Parsely and in 2006 she wrote about John Hagee.
In addition, Sarah writes a weekly column that has been highlighting McCain's connections with Hagee, Parsley, and more for months. Her book, God's Profits, grew out of the column and has yet more on the shadowy world of televangelism. Here on TAPPED, Sarah's been blogging about the Parsley-McCain connection since February.
