I've not like McCain for McCain-Feingold among other things but he hits some really great notes in this transcript. The killer was:
1 17 YEARS AGO CINDY WAS IN DHAKA, BANGLADESH.(But surely it wasn't that easy...)
2 SHE WENT TO MOTHER TERESA'S ORPHANAGE. THE NUNS
3 BROUGHT HER TWO LITTLE BABIES THAT WERE NOT GOING TO
4 LIVE. CINDY CAME HOME. I MET HER AT THE AIRPLANE.
5 SHE SHOWED ME THIS 5 WEEK OLD BABY AND SAID MEET YOUR
6 NEW DAUGHTER. SHE IS 17 AND OUR LIFE IS BLESSED ...
You should read the rest — it gets better and has a great finish “I want to be president of all Americans and will always put my country first” (this is from memory, so it’s approximate)! But there are other terrific straight forward answers by McCain.
I think they had the text in all caps, so they don’t have to add the format thing — if someone wants to see it nicely formatted, they can download the MSWord versions, but if someone like you has a download problem and/or doesn’t have MSWord, they made it easy to get the text, without the additional burden of attaching the formatting.
