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

The sale 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.

According to McCain's personal financial disclosure, Cindy McCain's investments include two mutual funds — American Funds Europacific Growth fund and American Funds Capital World Growth and Income fund — that are listed by the Sudan Divestment Task Force as targets for divestment.

McCain spokesman Brian Rogers said, "Those have been sold as of today."

1. must be nice to have $2mil laying about for this kind of investment

[gatorboy]

2. "Sold as of today"...Hilarious. Those tax papers must REALLY be juicy.

[malaise]

3. Now you know why they haven't been released

Their sense of entitlement is mind blowing

[lonestarnot]

11. And we knew that before today's news!

:wow: Now how about those fucking medical records!

[malaise]

14. Don't worry they'll have to release

everything.

[lonestarnot]

15. Heh!

[blondeatlast]

4. And you thought the Starr Report was lurid... nt

[blondeatlast]

5. In the spirit of her business, so to speak: "Hey, Cindy Hensley McCain, show us your

TEN-FORTIES!"

[Disturbed]

6. Why were they not sold long time ago?

The topic didn't come up until recently. They would no have been sold had the
questions not come up. One wonders what other investments Ms McLame has.

[blondeatlast]

7. The Hensley's are as close to "filthy rich" as any family in the relatively

young state of Arizona can be.

It's very likely those tax returns are damning (pardon me for stating the obvious).

[babylonsister]

8. Maybe this will make more people curious. nt

[blondeatlast]

9. Is it too late to change your SL?

:rofl:

Gotta admit, I'm rather proud of that one.

[blondeatlast]

10. Kick--because our OPPONENT and his wife are as corrupt as they come.

Siiiigh...

[Disturbed]

12. I had to laugh when McLame tried to paint Sen. Obama as

an Elite. McLame's wife is one of the most Elite in America.

[blondeatlast]

13. Oh, hell yes. And they own at least three homes in Arizona.

Homes I've seen with my own two eyes, not to mention the other 4-5 they are rumored to have besides.

Real people of the people, those two... :eyes:

[Stinky The Clown]

16. She really creeps me out

Just creepy.

[KSinTX]

17. Yea, something's just not right there.

Suppose it's her arm candy? :P
