[The Cleaner]

It's making me hurl!!!

:puke:

1. What for--and which one(s)?

I'm a lifetime Arizonan and can think of nothing of significance she's done aside from being a consummate political opportunist (she EXCELS at that, I'll giver her that).

Do tell, thanks.

2. I saw it and thought it just "polite" praise...

...they were discussing possible first ladies, laddies and how they would be if their spouse took office.

4. well really, they only talked about Cindy McCain to the exclusion of Michelle Obama.

[lisa58]

6. That's true...

...they really did only talk about Cindy McCain - the intro made it sound as if everyone would be included. Bill got an honorable mention.

9. Ah, okay--that explains much more. Somehow I doubt Mrs. Obama carries the baggage

Mrs. McCain does; in fact, I'm fairly certain of it.

[blondeatlast]

5. Thanks for the clarification. That sounds perfectly reasonable,

even if I can't stand her (and I've met her on a few occasions).

3. they are praising her for her poise, and her potential as 1st lady.

Said she adopted, and that she has dealt with addiction as per Betty Ford. Said she'd make a great 1st lady. But they didn't say Boo about Michelle Obama, who is in my opinion far better and would make an awesome 1st lady! Michelle is far more real and down to earth. Cindy McCain seems like a typical rich white woman type to me, probably out of touch too -

7. they praised her after showing a nude picture of Sarkozy's wife.

they forgot to mention this:


Opiate For the Mrs.

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.


The 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.

John Dowd, the attorney who got you out of your Keating Five mess, worked on getting your wife a sweetheart deal with federal prosecutors. He also made Gosinski's lawsuit go away.

He didn't stop there.
To help maintain your reputation and discredit your wife's accuser, Dowd called Maricopa County Attorney Richard Romley and complained that Gosinski was trying to extort money. Romley, your Republican ally, promptly launched an extortion investigation.

But now New Times makes a public records request for documents in the extortion case. It's only a matter of days before the story gets out.

10. An Important Article -- if you know someone who is considering voting for McSame...

... send them to that link.

Better yet, copy the article and start e-mailing it...

12. Good post! ... Cindy McSame's exercise in how political influence makes felonies go away.

Thanks.

8. I agree, but I don't want Cindy McCain as first lady because...

...I don't want John McCain as president - the first family discussions are just filler because they taped the show before the DNC meeting yesterday.

11. Mrs. Mccain wasn't always so ladylike...

She and her husband ruined the life of one of her employees when her drug habit became public. Not only that, the docs with whom she worked at her charity and from whom she scammed bogus scripts, had to fight for their medical licenses while she and her husband lied to cover her ass and his career.
Read the story "Opiate For The Mrs." It's very eye-opening regarding this period of her life which everyone just considers "old news." She's a street fighter. Watch your back around her.

13. Why not? She has better drugs than the Mafia
