Cindy McCain's half sister emerges to put down 'only child' claim

By Leonard Doyle in Washington

Cindy McCain, the wife of the Republican presidential candidate John McCain, describes herself as an only child. "I grew up with my dad, I'm an only child. My father was a cowboy, and he really loved me very much, but I think he wanted a son occasionally," she told a TV interviewer.

Now a half-sister has emerged from the shadows to challenge that family history, claiming she and her offspring have been carefully airbrushed out of the would-be First Lady's family picture. "I'm upset," Kathleen Hensley Portalski told National Public Radio in a recent interview.

Documents show that she was born to Jim and Mary Jeanne Hensley on 23 February 1943. The still-married Mr Hensley was sent to West Virginia to recuperate from war wounds. There he met Marguerite Smith whom he married in 1945, and Cindy was born nine years later.

Kathleen saw her father and her half-sister from time to time, as she was growing up. "I saw him at Christmas and birthdays, and he provided money for school clothes, and he called occasionally," Ms Hensley Portalski told NPR.

6. I kept seeing stuff about her half-sister and going WTF?

Cause I knew I had heard she was an only child.

I couldn't have guessed that she'd have just flat-out lied like that... what a horrible, horrible person.

4. it would be interesting to ask her why she will accept and care for

the children John and Carol Shepp had together, yet she would begrudge the child HER father left behind for the woman he married and had Cindy with- a share of his millions and millions, and perhaps a little tiny bit of respect and acknowledgement?

Or has she always been TOO proud to share and be kind?

9. Too greedy probably... the half-sister only got 10K, Cindy and her offspring are set for life. (nt)
