Dan Abrams just screwed up...I think...

[PCIntern]

I think he said that Cindy McCain did NOT steal RX drugs from her charity. A comedienne (who's very funny, actually) stated that and he said that it wasn't true...that it was a joke she was making. She just looked at him quizzically and stopped.

1. I thought she did steal drugs

:crazy:

[hisownpetard]

2. She did.

15. Later on in the program

Abrams corrected himself and told (that great Comedian) her that actually, she was right, that Cindy McCain admitted it (I think on TV).

[PCIntern]

3. He just acknowledged that she did...

NOTHING GETS PAST US DUERS!!!!!!!!!!1

[glowing]

5. "Senator McCain, when did your wife stop stealing drugs from her charity" see, they could just ask

him, maybe someone over at ABC could do that during the debates.

6. SHE DID. abrams is wrong.

That same year, Mrs. McCain underwent two back surgeries, and she said she became addicted to painkillers. She resorted to stealing some drugs from a medical charity she had started and using others' names for prescriptions, according to news reports at the time.

"I was trying to be the perfect woman," Mrs. McCain said in interviews at the time. "That was the darkest period of my life."

The Drug Enforcement Administration began an investigation of Mrs. McCain in 1994, but she avoided prosecution by paying a fine, performing community service in a soup kitchen and joining Narcotics Anonymous. She had to close her medical charity.

10. If that happened to one of our candidates

They would be grilling her night and day.

Asking her the name of her Drug Dealer and making her denounce him and say that she should have gone to jail.

Hope they treat this as the should,it's not an issue.

It would be fair to ask him how does Abuse of Drugs fit into the help/support that will be given under his Universal Health Plan.

11. It is an issue...

because the sanctimony from those RWers is too much to bear.

And yes, I'm quite aware that I'm in the gutter with them...for info on this, ask Former Presidents Kerry, Dukakis, and Mondale.

13. Who mentioned it? Was it Stephanie Miller?

14. Whether she did or not will not defeat her husband. McPain himself

will defeat McPain.
