What everyone should know about Cindy McCain. The media will present her as gracious and genteel--

[blondeatlast]

mark my words--but she's the power behind him. She's the product of a filthy rich and longtime political mover and shaker family--very, very RW--and likely was his key to meeting the immensely powerful, corrupt, holier-than-thou Charles Keating.

Oh, yeah--and she set up a children's charity to score opiates for her own habit--then cruelly dismissed the director when the story was about to go public.

You may be familiar with your local New Times--very credible alternative weekly. what you may not know is that it started right here in Phoenix to offset the then radically RW Arizona Republic and Phoenix Gazette (both owned by the same family). They are immensely respected for their investigative reports (those of you interested in our Sherriff Joe Arpaio would do well to watch the site).

Please--read this in it's entirety--very eye-opening and there's PLENTY more on this story where this came from.

You're U.S. Senator John McCain, and you've got a big problem.
Your wife, Cindy, was addicted to prescription painkillers. She stole pills from a medical-aid charity she heads and she used the names of unsuspecting employees to get prescriptions.

The public is about to find out about it.
Until now, you've managed to keep it all quiet. When Tom Gosinski, a man your wife fired, sued for wrongful termination and threatened to expose the whole sordid story, you didn't hesitate to call in the big guns.

John Dowd, the attorney who got you out of your Keating Five mess, worked on getting your wife a sweetheart deal with federal prosecutors. He also made Gosinski's lawsuit go away.

He didn't stop there.
To help maintain your reputation and discredit your wife's accuser, Dowd called Maricopa County Attorney Richard Romley and complained that Gosinski was trying to extort money. Romley, your Republican ally, promptly launched an extortion investigation. (more)

Edit: Link--my bad! http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/1994-09-08/news/opiate-for-the-mrs/

Sorry, CatWoman--since you posted on her earlier--but there is so much dirt on this, um, woman, and I just KNOW that the media is going to fall in love with the public McCain--not the cold, calculating, husband-stealing powerful heiress and polico she REALLY is. :mad:

[SpiralHawk]

1. republicons. They are totally and pathetically corrupt

as they prove over and over and over. What a pity they own the corporate media, which serves them, not America and Americans.

[roguevalley]

66. they say she keeps an enemies list and gets back against them

when she can. She's a horrible, unethical, amoral cow.

[defendandprotect]

68. Sounds like a new Nancy Reagan --- ???

[janetle]

106. Well, except for the first lady part.

[Virginian]

121. How many husbands has she stolen and how many

wives has McCain had?

[defendandprotect]

67. Love the art work --- !!!! Thank you!!

[happygoluckytoyou]

81. CRANK UP THE MUSIC.... BOMB BOMB BOMB... BOMB BOMB IRAN...

IF THAT MUSIC VIDEO WE'RE PLAYED DAILY (PLEASE RADIO FREE AMERICA)....

[patrice]

117. I'm looking forward to that song being a national hit later this year.

It should follow JMcC at all times wherever he goes.

[rurallib]

2. Got a link?

I think I'd like to read more.

[blondeatlast]

5. My bad and fixed above. nt

[grantcart]

3. Did you see her standing behind Bush Sr today. There was a weird effect with the lights and

her eyes seem to glow like something out of weird sci fi movie.

[DesertRat]

8. Her eyes are a very pale blue

Katie Couric was recently criticized for saying that Cindy's eyes look like those of a husky dog. They do.
http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2008-01-15-couric_N.htm

[Kittycat]

12. Except without the pupils.

Very creepy.

[goclark]

107. So I'm not the only one that thought she was Mrs. Stepford

on Uppers.

Something is really strange about this lady.

Can you just imagine having to look at her for 4 years! :cry:

[grantcart]

13. yeah but her contacts reflected light it was spooooky

[Tulum_Moon]

32. She should be!

I don't know if C.M. wear contacts or not, not my business. But my sisters and myself have different shades of light eyes from from bright blue to grey. One has very similar to the husky in the picture. I would not want to be compared to a dog. As for the other things I will read and form my own opinion. Katie Couric can be a catty twit sometimes. Go back to your morning show and do some cooking!

[LibertyLover]

76. Beautiful husky photo

it could be my silly Siberian posing. And as much as I hate to agree with Katie Couric on anything, she's right - Cindy McCain's eyes do look like a husky's - except not as intelligent or friendly.

[4_TN_TITANS]

54. I totally agree....

I remarked to my daughter about how evil she looked. There's pure malice in them eyes!

[stanwyck]

74. Did you hear Katie Couric's "off mike" comment

about her eyes? "She looks like a husky."

[UTUSN]

4. Ain't she MONEY, how Teresa KERRY was said to be MONEY?1 n/t

[karynnj]

60. If you think Teresa Heinz Kerry was nothing other than the money she had,

I feel sorry for you. She is a brilliant, caring woman with enormous accomplishments in her own right, who was attacked by the RW because she was married to Senator Kerry. She would have been an exceptionally inspiring first lady. Senator Kerry is not running - you should know better than perpetuating this garbage.

[liberalhistorian]

78. I don't think that was meant as a slam against

Teresa Heinz Kerry at all. I just think he was pointing out that the media was all over her yammering about her money this, her money that, calling her a crazy rich old lady attempting to buy her husband the presidency, etc., etc., ad nauseaum. And yet we hear absolutely nothing about Cindy McCain, who really IS a crazy vindictive rich bitch. Remember that horrible Time cover of Teresa, asking if she was "crazy like a fox"? Let's see if they give the one who REALLY deserves such treatment, Cindy McCain, the same thing. I'll bet ya dollars to donuts it won't even be close.

And yes, she would, indeed, have been a fantastic first lady and it makes me sick what was done to her.

[UTUSN]

85. Thank you. If it weren't for those who consistently mis-read my posts, I wouldn't get ANY replies!1

It's some strange magnetism I've got!1

[karynnj]

96. sorry for the misinterpretation

I am likely far too quick to defend Teresa, as the smears against her came to be believed even by some Democrats. Having seen most of the coverage of their book tour, I am amazed at how brilliant and nice she really is. Kerry had the debates, which gave him a chance to dispell some of the lies about him by showing that he was an incredibly intelligent, articulate man with a wealth of knowledge and solutions. She never had a platform to respond from and it is sick that a woman, who has done the things that she has would be treated as she was. It had to be especially hurtful as many of the Republicans were likely people she had known for decades.

[UTUSN]

97. O.K., but after this (my) post you will probably go back to your previous take

I was a KERRY supporter from Day One of the '04 primaries and this included Teresa, of course.
I based this on my thinking he would wage a powerful street fight to win. Electability.

That said, in the end I was disappointed in his performance. Part of his performace was HER performance. I went to a rally when she came here on her own. We local Dems were out in force and were hysterical with enthusiasm. Guess what. She came out, tried to quiet us down like we were supposed to be in a seminar, and proceeded to read a 45 minute policy speech.

I am talking being IN TOUCH with us UNWASHED, us gritty VOTERS. I have absolutely NO doubt about both of their being great humans and having done maximum public service. But all that will be its own reward for them, because what we need is a good street candidate and a good street candidate wife.

We tried in that rally. At the slightest opportunity we roared. All that would have been needed was a good "SCREW BUSH" from her and the walls would have come down. Despite our pumping and pumping, she never got the message. Or rather, she started getting glimmers of what we wanted from her, because after the middle of her oration, she started peering out over her glasses at us, like it was beginning to dawn on her, but she stayed bewildered.

Other than that, since I like the gossipers who used to be on the E! channel, who happen to be housed at the NY Post, I read Cindy ADAMS, that wingnut who swims the cocktail circuit and is pals with anybody-who's-anybody, Rethug and Dem (the CUOMOs), the oldest-person-named-Cindy is best buds with Teresa, too. When Old-Cindy drops her name it goes something like this, "Guess who was in my kitchen, sitting on the floor, playing with my dog..." If only Teresa had sat on the stage floor and played with us.

O.K., you can go back to slamming me. Tootle-oo.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

103. This is a fantastic post.

I'll be waiting on that cover and the subtext that the media will surely provide.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

105. And no credit for UTUSN!

[rucognizant]

111. Not to mention that Teresa's first husband Sen. JohnHeinz.....

was one of the FEW R's killed in a small plane cash. I believe he was working with John Kerry on revealing the BCCI scandal/ money laundering,
before he died.............................Perhapos that is the genisus for that marriage. 2 people who know more than the rest of us joined together?
I noticed C McCain's eyes over GHW Bush's left ahoulder on CNN, yesterday. The whites are VERY white, the pupils are small, and they were rolling back up under her upper lids,so that all oucould see was the whites. I gave her a the benifit of doubt, she was tired and fighting to to fall asleep?
But today behind John at the mike, she was also twisting & manipulating her lips nervously. and her responses to what he wa saying were a out of sync.

[DesertRat]

6. Thanks for spreading the truth. K&R

[sellitman]

7. Links?

I guess the fun is about to start.

Somehow I doubt this is the worst we hear about McCrusty and his family.

[blondeatlast]

9. Sorry--fixed in the OP. nt

[DesertRat]

10. The OP added a link

This is old news to those of us in AZ. Unfortunately it hasn't prevented his reelections.

[blondeatlast]

11. Link here--sorry. Fixed but hard to find in the OP.

http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/1994-09-08/news/opiate-for-the-mrs/

[Ilsa]

14. I thought she became addicted to painkillers after a bad surgery or

injury. I'm not going to drag her over the coals over her addiction, especially since she's recovered. I will drag any of them over the coals if they threatened to knee-cap anyone over the disclosure of her unlawful behavior.

[blondeatlast]

15. Read the linked story--that's pretty much what happened. nt

[Olney Blue]

17. Yes, I want to leave her drug problems out of our attacks.

She got treatment. Case closed.

[blondeatlast]

21. Please read the story. Geez. nt

[Ilsa]

26. I'm comfortable with blaming McCain for the coverup and manuevering.

I'm not into blasting her for her addiction, treatment or not, lies or not. If she didn't get treatment and she's still fucked up, then she's still fucked up. McCain's actions are the ones I would scrutinize as he will be pres, not her.

[Olney Blue]

49. I did, and I've researched her a great deal.

[blondeatlast]

58. Then enlighten me on some of her benefactions.

I'm only aware of the fake charity she used to score her own opium hapit from--I refuse to count that as a benefaction.

[Ilsa]

25. That's how I feel about that part. She wasn't advocating for

drug users to be set to jail for life like OxyRush was. She was sick and got treatment. I'll read the articles again for more info on who was going to do the kneecapping.

[blondeatlast]

27. She's the power behind the pants and she brought in the County Attorney and others to destroy a man'

reputation and career.

[blondeatlast]

36. Sigh. No, she only stole her drugs from a children's charity and used her powerful Republican

machine connections to destroy the whistleblower's life and career.

But okay--she's off-limits--but not to me.

[Virginia Dare]

61. As long as they leave Obama's former drug use out..

then we've got not problem (assuming he's the nominee).

[lumberjack_jeff]

71. Why?

If the proposed first lady was in the habit of stealing barbituates from her non profit, does this not suggest political tactics?

Like, for instance when one of McCain's minions goes off on Obama for his college drug use?

Fuck the high road.

[The Wizard]

123. Absolutely right

fuck the high road. Karl Rove made the rules, and we're obliged to play by them if we want to win.
Shit, make up degrading stories and make them deny everything. It's called casting doubt.
Brass knuckles and switch blades, at least figuratively, are the order of the day.

[JustDavid]

90. I became

addicted to painkillers after a severed appendage. I am not an addictive type person ~ don't use drugs.

Its opium. Just like heroin. If I was a compassionate person, I would realize it could happen to anyone and not look down on someone for something that I, myself have gone through.

[DesertRat]

95. Please read the article in the OP

It's not about looking down on someone for using drugs.

[El Pinko]

16. Maybe she is gracious and genteel.

Graciousness and gentility are the products of a pampered upbringing, and have absolutely nothing to do with moral fiber, integrity or character.

Why do people assume that gracious, mannered people are good, when so many of them are not?

I'll never understand the the strange delusions our society clings to...

[rabbit2484]

65. Very true point Pinko

And Bubbles to cap it off.
:)

[TomInTib]

18. As a recovering heroin addict, I say...

Own up, Woman.

Lay it down or go away.

You either did or you did not.

Face it.

Lies have no place in this arena.

Tom

[Skittles]

43. yes

people are much more able to forgive and even admire a person when they own up to the fact they had demons they conquered

[hisownpetard]

19. She is exceedingly hard looking, to me. Like a serrated knife.

[nashville_brook]

34. wow -- great imagery.

[TomInTib]

38. 'petard does have a way with words...

doesn't she?

[nashville_brook]

57. i shared it with others last night -- there definitely is something "serated" about her...

i wouldn't have guessed addiction to drugs -- her looks suggest an addiction to power in lieu of love.

isn't that totally maudlin? it's what first comes to mind tho -- a "power widow."

[maui9002]

128. And what would be the relevance of this post?

Does Mrs. McCain's appearance have anything to do with her husband running for the presidency?

[Crunchy Frog]

20. Why aren't there more votes for this?

We need this on the Greatest page. Much better than all the primary infighting.

[CatWoman]

24. i'll do my part

23. Blondeatlast

thanks for posting this.

this is the first I've heard about this.

thanks again :hi:

I simply had no idea!! :wow:

[blondeatlast]

29. No worries. I just anticipate that this will get buried in the national press yet it was HUGE back

in the day.

It goes to how deeply embedded SHE is in the Republican machine around here--she should be doing time for the charity fraud.

[Bobbieo]

31. Her addiction was about 16 or 17 years ago. I covered it

in my column, at the time, and got my ass royally chewed out by the local Repubs but my ass was covered. She was into the stuff pretty heavy but she went into rehab after the story broke.

[Baby Snooks]

28. So why are the Bushes endorsing him?

There were rumors in 2000 that "personal matters" were used to get McCain to drop out of the race after a number of typical "Rovian" antics didn't work. Well, it appears maybe the rumors weren't rumors. And this is probably the tip of the iceberg. Cindy McCain may be Mary Poppins on the outside but she is pure Messalina on the inside.

The question is why would they run someone they know the media may be able to literally destroy? Maybe they wanted a candidate to ensure the Democratic candidate won? Assuming it would be Hillary Clinton?

What you see ain't what you get anymore. The flag-wavers in both parties need to wake up. We have been hijacked. By the Republicrats.

The interesting thing is no one counted on Barack Obama. And it seems more and more that unless the Clintons pull a coup with the superdelegates that Barack Obama will be the nominee.

And then the Republicrats are stuck with McCain. Who may win if enough racist Democrats vote for McCain. And we may be stuck with Cindy.

Who may make us all long for the days of Nancy Reagan.

Rome is burning. And while it burns, we are no doubt about to be treated to a "circus maximus" in the race for president.

[defendandprotect]

115. Haven't you noticed how Repugs are "born again" .. . . all the time . . .

[Imagevision]

30. I'm happy Cindy is there, McCain will badly need her when he takes the fall from losing.

[Stinky The Clown]

33. Thanks for this post. Everyone needs to know this

She's a former addict and a filthy rich scionette of filthy rich filth.

Not at all nice person.

[murielm99]

35. What a story!

K&R!

We never read about how he was still married to his disabled wife when he started seeing Cindy. We never read about McCain's cancer, either.

[Maddy McCall]

37. K/R

[Hoof Hearted]

39. Acutally we don't need to stoop to this level. His crap is enough to run against.

No problemo.

I could give a shit about Cindy.

[emilyg]

41. I don't either.

She's a very attractive woman who survived a stroke. (I think.)

[LeftyMom]

44. She falsified prescriptions and stole narcotics. If you're not rich and connected that's a felony.

That they used their influence not just to keep her out of trouble but to try to pin the blame on her employees at her charity, sure says something about the McCains and their ethics.

[Hoof Hearted]

45. Cindy isn't on the ticket. Bill isn't on the ticket. Chelsea isn't on the ticket. Michelle Obama..

Now, if Cindy goes and makes some dumb ass statement like all addicts should go to jail, then the gloves are off.

Unless she personally makes statements advocating punishment for actions that she herself committed, I don't see it.

Like I said, there's PLENTY of material on John McCain - compliments of, John McCain.

[LeftyMom]

46. But his influence was instrumental in the punishment of the whistleblower.

Which is why the whole thing needs to be discussed.

[Hoof Hearted]

47. I totally respect your thoughts on the matter, and I think you're right.

The only thing is how to make it an attack on him without conjuring up the reflexes of protection and sympathy for her.

[BrklynLiberal]

64. Love that Dilbert Strip. Can you give me a link to it so I can print it out?

[Jack Sprat]

40. Cindy McCain is off limits for bad publicity

The Media is a right wing operative.

[Quantess]

42. Does she hang out with Rush Limbaugh?

No wait, probably not since Rush disparages McCain.
But maybe they could get over their differences if they did drugs together.

[Stand and Fight]

48. 1994? Come on, folks...

This is really stretching it. Events that occurred in 1991 to 1992? She screwed up and as far as we know she's not repeated the behavior. We're better than this. This is garbage. There's plenty to go after on John "100 years in Iraq" McCain than this...

[sellitman]

50. It ain't the drug use thats the story.

As usual it is the cover up.

[blondeatlast]

51. Precisely--and way too many have missed that point in this thread. nt

[sellitman]

52. We know darn well the Repiggies have never learned this lesson.

You would of thought after Watergate they might have paid attention.

[Misha2]

110. There wasn't a coverup back then as

it was in all the papers and many magazines. She did her time in rehab. and this should be over for all unless she starts to use again. Until then, it is old news and that is all. I am aginst him, but refuse to attack her.

[blondeatlast]

56. It's the cover-up, not the crime--as is SOP among RW scandals.

A man's life was destroyed and he was nearly sent to jail for talking about it.

[lumberjack_jeff]

72. You can't talk about the coverup without talking about the crime.

Good. It's an interesting one.

[MissMarple]

59. Also, the GOP used this to smear McCain in 1999 primary season.

Too many of us are sounding more and more like the worst of the opposition. Dumb and dumber, what a way to go. I don't mind using stuff if it's actually true, but using it like a bunch of mean mouthed fifth graders is way over the top. There has to be a better way than devolving to the lowest level of GOP tactics. We have learned very little in over two hundred years of political warfare. Method greatly impacts the quality of the product.

[blondeatlast]

80. Dammit, sister--it IS true. I sourced a reputable local paper and it's well-known in Arizona.

Take your holier-than-thou BS to a tea and crumpets board.

[MissMarple]

86. I know it's true. We just don't need to sound like the National Inquirer.

And like I said, I don't mind using stuff like that, but the approach is important. The message can get lost in the overall nastiness and is more easily dismissed as just picking on little Cindy. It makes us just like they are. Using the politics of slime and smear is a dirty business, and quite frankly, they are better at it than we are. It must be the total lack of conscience and honor. And their base eats that stuff up, ours, not as much. So, if you use it, how you do so is important.

Care for some tea? Sorry no crumpets.

[dommyluc]

53. The RW will start boo-hooing...

...when this comes out later during the election. They'll cry their Boehner-like tears about how those nasty LIBERALS are going after poor defenseless widdle Cindy, while forgetting about their crucifiction of Hillary Clinton for 16 years. To paraphrase a McCain supporter, how do we nail this bitch Cindy to the wall? I have no sympathy for her, and I hope she is put thru hell, just like her fucking dickhead husband, who left his wife for her, showing how much the Rethugs always care about the "sanctity of marriage". (Oh, and I am not even a Hillary supporter. I just think the hypocrisy is hilarious).

[L. Coyote]

55. Did "Gonzo" McCain LIE? What else? Politization of Justice is the issue! Familiar?

How is this anything except the USA firings in microcosm?
McCain politicized the AZ Justice system to hide crimes and persecute an accuser! This is so "Gonzo!"


" * Cindy McCain lied about drug treatment she claims to have undergone. Although she told reporters she went into a residential drug treatment program earlier this year, she told investigators she had treatment during 1991 and 1992. Whom did she lie to--investigators or reporters?

" * If Cindy McCain did undergo treatment before 1994, as she told investigators, the senator's claim that he didn't learn of his wife's addiction until this January simply defies credibility."

[The Wizard]

125. She probably has to get really high

to sleep with "More of the Same McCain."

[leftofthedial]

62. she is a typical repuke political wife

corrupt to her core

holier than thou

sees herself as entitled to every possible privilege that might accrue to the wealth her forebears stole

vicious, amoral, sociopathic hatchet woman--Lizzie Borden with lots of makeup

[KamaAina]

63. The family that owns the M$M papers there is (was) the Quayles!

hence the immortal Quayleism, "I love California. I practically grew up in Phoenix.". :dunce:

Only there could Gannett ownership possibly be seen as an improvement. :eyes:

[yardwork]

69. I think that her former addiction should not be an issue, but

I don't think that she'll play well in the midwest. Her looks....that helmet-haired, platinum, super face-lifted, maxed out makeup look doesn't play well in the midwest.

I'm sure that the right-wingers in Phoenix, Dallas, and Atlanta love her. But they aren't going to love her in Columbus, OH or Boise, ID.

[IdClaire]

84. hey, I'm from Atlanta and I resent that!

She doesn't play well with me! I can't stand that perfect look. She looks like a plastic person to me.

[yardwork]

93. Are you a right-winger? I thought I specified that the right-wingers in those places would like her

I don't expect any Democrats, anywhere, to like her.

Welcome to DU!

[Iggo]

70. What everyone should accept about Cindy McCain.

Her husband will never be president.

Move on...

[Initech]

73. So long McCain, and thanks for playing!

We have some wonderful parting gifts for you. Now onto the real GOP nomination - Mike Huckabee. :scared:

75. Old Repug Coots & Younger Blonde Babes

Why aren't these old Republican coots ever married to women their own age?

[verges]

116. Keeping Dennis and

Elizabeth Kucinich in mind, I don't thin we're in a good place to throw stones on this issue.

[stanwyck]

77. I think she's fragile. I worry for her

during this campaign. I realize she's been a political wife for many years now. But this campaign is not going to be the same as a well-respected senator's re-election cakewalk. This is going to be an extremely fractious presidential campaign. And Cindy is likely to get harsh treatment. I mean, Michelle Obama was being criticized today over a real non-troversy. She reiterated her current feeling of pride at being an American and is being castigated for not ALWAYS EVERY SECOND ALL THE TIME being proud to be an American. Ludicrous.

[blondeatlast]

79. Don't fear. she's the strength behind the pants and she's as cool and sharp as ice.

She's a MAJOR manipulator on so many levels and not half as fragile as she seems.

She set out to get her a husband who would be president and she will not stop until she acheives her God-given First Ladyness.

[stanwyck]

88. Does she ever do interviews?

I haven't seen one yet. The Republican wives have really been in the background. What about Huckabee's wife? Or Romney's wife? Personally, I'm more comfortable with women like Elizabeth Edwards who let you know exactly how they feel on the issues. These Nancy Reagan type wives who merely stand and look adoringly at their husbands just seem very dated to me. And not typical of American women.

[blondeatlast]

118. To my knowledge, she's never done interviews.

I know people in local media who find her very cold and a little but intimidating, so perhaps she's never asked.

[AlCzervik]

112. and she also had a stroke, looks like she's made a good recovery but once you have one

chances are you will have another.

[IdClaire]

82. hmmm who doesn't know someone...

who's had a drug problem...friend or family member. Addicts steal and lie, no matter who they are, rich or poor.

as if she were someone he barely knew. This was at some rally just before or after Iowa. I'd love for someone to find that & make a video. I'm sure he was just fatigued from the campaign trail, but at that moment, it looked like Chuck Norris was right about him.

That would have been more fun. :-)

[McCamy Taylor]

92. OMG! She didn't spend Vietnam in a box. She isn't off limit for character attacks!

If there is dirt to dig up on her--especially if she comes from a life of privilege--then someone like CNN or ABC is going to be dishing it. McCain does not have a lock down on the press. He has pissed off the cable industry big time with his attempts at regulating their industry, and the cable industry has its own media mouth pieces, especially CNN but also ABC (Disney).

The RNC needs to schedule this woman for a breakdown STAT to garner some public sympathy. True, it will make her look like a bad first lady candidate, but hey, there is always the Betty Ford Clinic.

100. She and Rush L. ought to get together and party

Nothing like using underlings to support your habit.

[lonestarnot]

102. She's a real carerr ruinator.

[NoSheep]

104. I agree with others that this is beneath us.

:shrug: It just is.

[marlakay]

108. and that doesn't even mention that she started

it all with an affair with John while his wife was crippled from a accident...oh they are definitely NOT the value people.........

[DesertRat]

113. It's reminiscent of Newt Gingrich's personal history...

[subsuelo]

119. wow, thats true?

not that I doubt you, just didnt know about it.

[DesertRat]

120. Yes, it's true. n/t

[roamer65]

122. He's the last of the KEATING FIVE in office.

I use this on people who talk about voting for him. It has really made them think twice about Insane Mc Cain.

[Divine Discontent]

124. something MIGHTY creepy about that lady

and I don't like them, thank you for the story, but I don't need it to feel very ominously about her and him...

I pray for Mrs Clinton and Mr Obama (and Mr Edwards), because I feel these people are a bit of dark power if you follow...


God bless our battle with those who keep power by keeping control over people and set laws, wars, and traps to get what they want.


Seriously, one creepy creepy lady...

[Blue State Bandit]

126. Rec'd and Booked

[Andy823]

127. No wonder she is "proud" of her country

She was able to work the system because of her husband, and get away with a slap on the wrist for something anyone else would have been in jail for. What she did to Gosinski was terrible. And she has the nerve to talk about Oama's wife? What a hypocrite!

It also doesnt' say much for McCain if he didn't know she had a problem all those years!

[DesertRat]

129. kickin'

[elehhhhna]

130. She gave up the opiates but she's really into botox now.

[Chovexani]

131. Emphasis on filthy

I have read a lot on Cindy McCain and her family since I've been out here in AZ and boy do they put the filth in filthy rich. They are nasty, nasty people and they have a virtual monopoly on print media.

I love the New Times, it's the only paper out here worth reading. I don't even get the Arizona Repub-lic or Phoenix Fishwrap for coupons.
