I bought that copy for that article and you're right - I was not let down. The rest of the magazine, however, was awful. John Kerry might be the most dull candidate I have ever read about. Those were 10 insufferable pages. I kept reading thinking there'd be something cool, but it read like Grandpa Simpson's resume ("I spent 45 years as a night watchman at a cranberry silo and then I retired"). Not to be outdone, GQ offered up 15 pages devoted to 100 "hysterical, yet informative" tips on how to "take back the wedding." It could have been done in half a page. But on the whole, even with the unnecessary "drum solo" wedding article in the middle, GQ still offered a better show.
