I love how they're making Cindy McCain look older than she really looks
They're trying to keep the contrast between her and her husband as small as possible for the time being. Let's face it, the younger she looks, the older he looks, so they're dressing her down and making her look older than her 54 years. I noticed it all during the Primaries, too. Heck, they've got her looking similar to some of those polygamist wives in Texas.

Speaking of Cindy, she is as fucking dumb as a doorknob, maybe even dumber. However, because she's so stupid, she poses no real threat to all the dumb-asses in this country who are afraid of intelligent women who speak their mind. In contrast, Michelle Obama will be relentlessly attacked because she is intelligent and has some things to say. Hillary went through it in the nineties. Half of Americans don't like it when intelligent women speak their mind.

Maybe we should start some rumors that Cindy McCain has a brain and is just acting dumb.

1. cindy's many things, but I don't think she's dumb
From what I've read, she's an astute businesswoman.

2. She's an "astute businesswoman"? Give me a break. She inherited her parents' business & fortune.
How hard was that?

6. She's expanded it (I'm an Arizonan who grew up not far from the HQ) and she's a very astute
politician.

4. As much as I despise the second Mrs. McCain, she's not the leaast bit stupid.
She's wiser to political maneuverings than her husband is by far and the distribution company she runs is the biggest A/B distirbutor in the nation.

8. Yeah, she sounds so brilliant whenever she speaks. Good gawd
:eyes:

That company she "runs" was a gift handed to her on a silver platter by her parents.

11. She's expanded it. But dismiss her at your own peril.
She's been the hand in the puppet of John McCain.

Whateever.

5. I think that as the summer goes on their utter whiteness is going to look odd
I understand that he has a history of skin cancer but for the Americans who tune this out until say late August when they come back in with their tans and in summer mode both of the McCains will look stark to them.

9. She isn't even close. She's a consummate politico and she's expanded an already very successful
business.

I've met her, can't stand her, but she's anything bus stupid.

13. biz smart - yes; but she must be too close to the trees to see the whole
political forest ... for jeebus sake, does she NOT have a mirror???? she is starting to look like a frightening albino between her eye color, hair color and those spooky leers of hers ... she also has demonstrated a penchant for a smarta$$ mouth, but she is clueless about what her own body language belies ... yuck!

16. I noticed her makeup is not up to par
Not like when the primaries started. I didn't know if it was because she was just tired or what but what your explanation does make sense. As far as her being stupid well I don't know about that. Her comment about Michelle and the proud remark sounded like something a stepford wife would say. I'm sure she is not as dumb as she may lead us to believe.
