Speaking of Cindy McCain . . . |
|
Does anyone else think it's strange that she ALWAYS seems to be at John McCain's side, like an appendage? The other candidates, of course, frequently appear with their spouses, but they usually appear alone while their partners campaign elsewhere. I don't think I've ever seen a candidate and his wife so connected at the hip as the McCains seem to be.
It just seems odd to me. Does it seem odd to any of you?

I can't look away.
ETA: I'd like to poke at her with a stick.

2. I think that's why they're called "trophy wives" |

10. Pretty good Trophy Wife if you ask me...she's chair of a 300 Mil/yr Corporation... |
|
Then again, most people in charge of 300 million dollar corporations aren't really called trophy wives. Perhaps she has a trophy husband?

3. It's being done to make him look younger |
|
Apparently, standing beside a 54 year old woman is supposed to make Grandpa look more youthful.

4. I Always that the same thing |
|
Obama is too classy to do it, but the blogsphere has stuff on her, so its just a matter of time. I must appreciate the irony of her "proud" comment. SOmeone at work asked me if she was "proud" of her man now.

5. If she hadn't been his wife, she would have gone to prison for her drug scam. |
|
I'll just say "go look it up and judge for yourself." It gives some insight into her.
She was knee deep in the Keating Five scandal.
In short, she's Lady Macbeth.

8. Usually, if a spouse makes a joint appearance, they stand in back of to enough to the side of |
|
the candidate that they are not in the main frame for the entire time. She, however, seems to make sure that she *is* very much in the frame for every shot.

12. She Helps Him Everyday |
|
Apparently due to his injuries he has a great deal of trouble with ordinary activities, like dressing himself. She does a lot of that kind of personal assistance. So, though I hold no brief for either of them, I believe that is why she isn't canvassing half the country while he's doing the other half, the way most political couples work.
I have no idea why Mrs. Huckabee hovers around her guy...she's definitely one without the shyness gene!
