Beer Executive Could Be Next First Lady

WASHINGTON - On a spring day at a speedway in the South, John McCain posed with his wife, Cindy, and racing star Dale Earnhardt Jr., highlighting the couple's political and business interests in a single snapshot.

McCain served as honorary starter of the NASCAR race that weekend in Charlotte, N.C. Earnhardt drove the Budweiser car, painted military camouflage, rather than its trademark red, to honor the troops.

Budweiser, then NASCAR's official beer, is brewed by Anheuser-Busch Cos. Inc., whose products have made Cindy McCain and her family a fortune.

McCain is routinely ranked among the richest senators. But a prenuptial agreement has kept most assets in his wife's name. That arrangement served as a defense for McCain when the Senate ethics committee scrutinized a real estate deal involving his wife, her father and disgraced savings and loan owner Charles Keating Jr. McCain said at the time the separation of assets helped prove the deal didn't benefit him.

1. It doesn't save Cindy from the drug scandal.

Our candidate won't bring it up, but I'm betting a 527 will.

2. I doubt that anyone will go after his wife in a commercial

It would have to potential to backfire, causing sympathy for McCain. As much as Republicans vilified Hillary back in the 1990's, they never dared run ads going after her.

3. Gee, the spin sure sounds good...

...so I guess with this one story McCain is free and clear regarding Keating and his scandals.

Whew, that was close!

4. No she won't. nt.

6. Marrying into money - the only private sector experience John McCain has

Unless you also count taking money from lobbyists.

Other than these, from being born and raised in a Navy-career family to being in the Navy himsself for over 20 years, McCain has essentially sucked the US taxpayer's money tit since birth.
