Vicki Iseman Gets Advice From Gennifer Flowers
Source: The Huffington Post

Gennifer Flowers came out today to remind everyone of her legacy in the pantheon of political scandals. She told the television show "Extra" that if Vicki Iseman "has nothing to hide, I think she should come forward."

Flowers was the other woman sixteen years ago during Bill Clinton's run for the White House. Back then Hillary Clinton - like Cindy McCain today - was the wife pointing out the "smear campaign." The one big difference between the characters today and in 1992, besides their party affiliations, is that the other woman has denied the affair. Gennifer Flowers held a press conference and produced audio evidence of sexual relations. Vicki Iseman appears to be hiding in an undisclosed location.

Below are the remarks Flowers made to "Extra" about the McCain-Iseman scandal.

When asked about her opinion regarding the recent reports of McCain's rumored affair, she responds, "I'm not going to make judgment on John McCain or the lady...Yet...If she has nothing to hide, I think she should come forward and clear it up." Flowers does offer advice to the other "other" woman. "Surround herself with excellent advisors before she makes any statements...If she has nothing to hide, I think she should come forward and clear it up," Flowers suggests.

2. Pooh on Gennifer
when it comes to good judgment. I mean, she had the "good judgment" to have an affair with a man that she knew was married. A man she knew was a public figure. I'd take Gen's advice with a large grain of salt.

3. And the man who was married and was a public figure went on to be president.
So my guess is you wouldn't take his advice either?

6. Cindy McCain: pills, beer and the White House
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2008/02/03/wuspols303.xml

excerpt:

The Budweiser beer heiress has battled prescription drug addiction and illness, and watched as the dirty tricks that derailed her husband's bid for the White House eight years ago engulfed the daughter she adopted from Mother Teresa's orphanage in Bangladesh.

Unlike that campaign, when she seemed a tentative figure in the political arena, she has now emerged as a passionate and articulate speaker, often introducing her husband at his rallies.

Mr McCain's closest aide, Mark Salter, told The Sunday Telegraph: "She's a very effective campaigner. She is absolutely great. When she's around, she can keep him on an even keel."

But her graceful demeanour, reminiscent of the cheerleader she once was, masks a woman who has experienced the extremes that go with a life in the spotlight. In 1994 she admitted that for three years she became addicted to painkillers.

Mrs McCain, 53, blamed her dependency on two back operations and the stress of her peripheral involvement in the so-called Keating Five scandal, in which her husband was accused of receiving donations and lobbying on behalf of a collapsed saving company's disgraced chief.

To make matters worse, it emerged that she had stolen pills from the American Voluntary Medical Team, a third world relief organisation that she had founded. Mrs McCain entered a rehab programme rather than face criminal charges. She later told an interviewer: "The best thing I've ever done is go into recovery and stay drug-free."

...more...

maybe they upped her meds?

5. Why aren't they rolling out Lucy Golberg and Linda Tripp?
The effort is on to remind everyone of Clinton's affairs to releive pressure on McCain. We need to use that and suggest to them to live up to their disgust. If what Clinton did was so very bad then McCain should really be hauled over the coals because he should have known better.
