16. Cindy McCain sells $2m in Sudan-related investments

Cindy McCain sells $2m in Sudan-related investments

by John Aravosis (DC) • 5/14/2008

Wish I had $2m invested in anything. Now who's the elitist? More from AP:

Cindy McCain, whose husband has been a critic of the violence in Sudan, sold off more than $2 million in mutual funds whose holdings include companies that do business in the African nation.

The sale on Wednesday came after The Associated Press questioned the investments in light of calls by John McCain, the likely Republican presidential nominee, for international financial sanctions against the Sudanese leadership....

Last year, in a speech on energy policy to the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, McCain cited China's investments in Sudan as an example of regimes that survive off free-flowing petro dollars.


Oops. The incredibly rich Mrs. McCain says she will never ever release her tax returns, even if her husband becomes president.
