This is HUGH!! I'm Serial11!! Nobody had any idea that this was out there!

When laws are broken, somebody's got to be punished. In the case of Cindy McCain, that somebody is Tom Gosinski
By Amy Silverman, Jeremy Voas
Published on September 08, 1994
You're U.S. Senator John McCain, and you've got a big problem.
Your wife, Cindy, was addicted to prescription painkillers. She stole pills from a medical-aid charity she heads and she used the names of unsuspecting employees to get prescriptions.

John McCain, Cindy McCainThe public is about to find out about it.
Until now, you've managed to keep it all quiet. When Tom Gosinski, a man your wife fired, sued for wrongful termination and threatened to expose the whole sordid story, you didn't hesitate to call in the big guns.

1. Shame on you....Your cuteness is not funny.

There's a new story but I'm not going to bother with a link because you already know it and are only posting this as a foolish derision of a fellow good DUer.

Shame on you.

I won't do it but I hope someone alerts.

Or you could delete it, it's not productive.

2. It's always nice to have a Democrat

denounce a disparaging FRONT PAGE story about their Republican opponent 7 weeks before an election. :woohoo:

Damn, you're good! How did we ever get along with you?

5. Oh it's front page alright, in 1994. Get me something new!

7. Are you being dumb on purpose? It's on the front page of

today's Washington Post, and it makes Cindy McCain look like a huge liar. Maybe you should read it before offering your uninformed commentary.

"Consequences of Cindy McCain's Drug Abuse Were More Complex Than She Has Portrayed' (liar)

"She has repeatedly cited the stress of the Keating Five scandal and pain from two back surgeries that same year as reasons for her dependence on painkillers." (lie, later sites other reasons, which were discounted)

"I asked if she ever obtained narcotic drugs by using her employee's names. She said she did." (crime)

"Mrs. McCain was asked if prescriptions were written in Mr. Gosinski's name without his knowledge. She said yes." (crime)

"McCain said she had completed a drug treatment program at the Meadows, a facility in Wickenberg, Ariz., as part of the agreement with federal prosecutors. But days later, federal officials said that no agreement had been reached and that she had not yet been accepted into a diversion program, which would include approved treatment." (lie)

"It began with Vicodan . In 1989, I had ruptured a couple of disks carrying my 1-year-old, Bridget, in a pack on my back," she wrote. But Bridget was not born until 1991." (lie)

In other accounts, McCain said she hurt her back while picking up her son Jimmy, who was a toddler at the time of her injuries." (lie)

6. I for just one did not know the whole story before it was posted

just recently, and I do keep up with current events quite well. All I knew is that Cindy McCain had a prescription drug problem, period. I am certain there are plenty of voters out there that do not know the extent John McCain went to to cover up his wife's addiction and illegal prescription use. When I think of the political slurs about Ted Kennedy and Bill Clinton, there is nothing wrong with knowing the truth. I was not surprised to find out about John McCains tactics in trying to surpress his wifes problem which apparently amounts to abuse of power.
