The contrasts of Cindy McCain
Chicago Tribune ^ | April 15, 2008 | Jill Zuckman

Posted on 04/15/2008 12:22:09 PM PDT by Kuksool

Cindy McCain's hair is a mess.

An icy wind whips through it as she tromps across hillsides still slick from snow on the Albanian border, wearing well-worn hiking boots and carrying her Prada purse. She's looking out at mine fields and visiting schools where children must thread their way around left-over munitions.

One headmaster told her he uncovered a cluster bomb when he had gone out to plant a tree. At another school, the principal said that work on a new sports field was halted when workers found more than a dozen unexploded bombs.

shapr contrast with anti-American lunatic Michelle Obama.

“Sen. McCain first approached his wife in mid-2006 about another presidential bid. She ignored it and half hoped the idea would go away.”

Now that’s a contrast to Bill and Hill, and probably the O’s.

Can anyone imagine Hillary saying, Oh, I hope Bill will forget about running for president? LOL.

Whatever misgivings I have with Juan McRino, I hope we can all agree that Cindy is definitely NOT GUILTY. If Johnny wins, she will be hands-down the best-looking First Lady we've had.

Another reason Sen. McCain should not run for Pres. and stay home.

Mrs. McCain is a real contrast to that rancorous, anti-American whiney wife of Obamammama, as well as to horrible Hillary. Quite a lady, and a hard worker, too, for good causes - not just yammering about them, but actually doing something.

Wasn’t Cindy a prescription drug addict who stole prescription pads from doctors, wrote her own phoney prescriptions, paid for her drugs by embezzling her charity...and when caught, got off with rehab???

She’s absolutely gorgeous, and she seems to get better looking with age. Johnny is one lucky bastard.

I forgive her too. Wonder if she and John forgive medical marijuana users?

The prospect of her as first lady will sure make it a little easier for me to vote for him.

“Cindy McCain’s hair is a mess. An icy wind whips through it as she tromps across hillsides still slick from snow on the Albanian border...”

No mention that the cause of Cindy’s disheveled appearance was because she was busy dodging sniper fire.

You left out: stealing another woman's husband away from her and her children and committing adultery, but yeah, you've basically got it.

Isn’t that a bit unfair? I had understood that McCain and his first wife already had a divorce in train when Cindy met him.

It would be unfair if it was true, but he met her while he was still married and he married her a month after his divorce.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cindy_Hensley_McCain

Heavily footnoted with sources.

See also: http://www.azcentral.com/news/specials/mccain/articles/0301mccainbio-chapter5.html

After a whirlwind courtship, John asked Cindy to marry him. But there were some details to clear out of the way.

McCain needed a divorce from Carol, his wife of 14 years from whom he was separated. After McCain's dramatic homecoming from Vietnam, the couple grew apart. Their marriage began disintegrating while McCain was stationed in Jacksonville. McCain has admitted to having extramarital affairs.

Leaving out any feelings you have for or against her husband, or for or against her behavior, is it the sense of this forum that Cindy McCain is objectively attractive for her 53 years? I ask because someone I know well looks very, very much like her.

I think she is rich enough to pay, but I am not sure, maybe she embezzled. As per addiction: many people of all walks of life have fallen for prescription drugs so maybe it’s in the genes somewhere.
