McCain and the Brazilian Model

So many stories, so little time.

Sen. John McCain spoke Wednesday morning at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., the third day of his weeklong tour. True to form, Washington Wire is here to provide inquiring minds with a juicy tale that didn’t make the day’s speech.

But the best story by far begins in the summer of 1957, when McCain sailed to Rio de Janeiro aboard a destroyer.
