Washington superlawyer Bob Bennett enjoyed back-to-back book parties for his new memoir, “In the Ring,” late last week, but what was on many minds was his latest client, John McCain.

Referring to the controversial New York Times story about McCain’s rumored affair with a lobbyist, Bennett said, “The story was just great [for The Times], but they never bothered to check their facts.”
On the Hay Adams rooftop Friday before 100 or so family and close friends (Bob Shrum among them), Bennett revealed that he wrote the book longhand over 700 pages. “Because I wrote it for my daughters, it was a better book than if I wrote it for anyone else,” he said.
That party came on the heels of Thursday’s bash at the Georgetown University Law Center, where Bennett mingled with radio talker Laura Ingraham, CNN’s Bob Franken and Ted Greenberg of the World Bank, in addition to about 200 lawyers.
“We had the whole leadership of the white collar bar,” Bennett told us. “I heard somebody say, ‘Anybody who needs a lawyer right now is in real trouble because they’re all here.’ ”
